You need to update your watch using ODIN if you dont have a samsung phone. Firmware is here:

FYI, you can update to the latest firmware (R350XXUOBNE5) via Samsung's kies3. There is no need to find an actual Samsung device or bother with ODIN anymore. Although I had intended to use ODIN, I installed kies3 anyway to get the USB drivers installed and just let it do the update instead. Painless and brainless.
Just search for kies3 and get it directly from Samsung's website.
I just completed the FW upgrade myself, sideloaded the Gear Manager APK, paired my new Gear Fit with my stock Nexus 4, and have all functions working as descibed in the OP.
This is a great thread to read for new GF users like me - it would probably be helpful to update the OP to show kies3, considering the likelihood of many new owners after the $99 sales.

Did the exact same over the weekend w/the GEAR FIT & HTC ONE M8,using Gear Fit Manager version 1.72.0702
You can get the update via KIES 3 on your desktop PC/MAC:
http://www.samsung.com/levant/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00059171/81102
Just load/run KIES 3,plug in your GEAR FIT & follow the prompts.
It's a very painless/easy process,should take no more than 10 minutes tops.

This is an unofficial version,AFAIK,& not sure what,if any,improvements under-the-hood it may have.
From appearances,it looks the same as version 1.49 (the latest I ran until this came along),other than being compatible w/the latest firmare for the GEAR FIT (NE5).

As mentioned earlier, it's just editing the build.prop.
I used values used in SGS5 (the most simillar device) seen in this screenshot:
http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-transform-your-galaxy-s4-into-an-s5
What i changed are those values:
ro.product.model
ro.product.brand
ro.product.name
ro.product.device
Everything else left intact, restarted the phone. Gear Fit Manager works fine (without reinstall), Calendar on the Fit the same. Will try more of the apps.
Unfortunately, Fitness for Gear is still not getting data, guess there will be some bigger issue...
EDIT: tried some switch app for tunring off wifi and sounds on mobile and works as well2Hi fellow Gear Fit owners,
Coming from Gear 2 / Neo space, there is a similar tutorial over there. I think you can utilise some advices from there, e.g. to how to make Samsung account work, gaining ability to synchronise your fitness activities to your account.2
