01 August 2017
While this isn’t new for some manufacturer skins or third-party ROMs, the feature will finally be baked into AOSP Android.

                    It is working on mate 9,sort off. When conected to gear circle, I can see battery level via the app, and while using BT speaker I have battery icon displayed next to bluetooth icon. None of these give me % of the battery left, but it is helpfull. Gear circle also tells me what is the battery level after connecting to the phone.

                              This feature will prove useful (especially in the wake of ever increasing numbers of handsets without headphone jacks).
