Does the gear only work with the stock messaging app?

Unfortunately, that is correct.
I have always used & loved Handcent, but I realized pretty quickly that using Handcent disables all text notifications on the watch

Yeah I tried textra again, but still can't get mms to work on it, so I went back to handcent. Thats a bummer, but the stock app has very little customization
Appears So
Yes, it appears you are correct. I use the Facebook Messanger app for SMS and it doesn't work. Really unfortunate.

It works happily alongside Tablet Talk. Tablet Talk and my Gear are both connected via bluetooth to my phone. Any time I get a text, it goes to both my Gear and my Tablet just fine.
I tried using Tablet Talk 1.75 and it keeps craching on the Gear. What version are you using??? Thanks.
Go SMS works
I have Go SMS working... Go SMS is controlling the vibrate (so I can use custom vibration patterns), and I have it controlling the LED (change color and blink rate). Also when I press the "show on device" button on the Gear, it goes straight to Go SMS, not the stock messaging.
This is what I did...
I uninstalled Go SMS (I'm not sure if this is necessary), and reinstalled.
In the Go SMS :
In the "Notification Settings":
Enable Notifications --> checked.
In the Defualt notification settings:
Vibrate --> checked.
Blink LED -- checked.
In the "Other setting" menu:
Disable other message notification -- Un-checked
In the stock messaging app:
Under "More" tab:
Notifications --> checked
Select ringtone -- > set to "silent"
Vibrate --> Un-checked
Preview message --> checked.
Open the Application manager in the settings of the phone:
Swipe over to the "ALL" tab, and scroll down until you find the "Messages" app. Un-check "show notifications" This will prevent double notifications in the panel.
This should do it. When I received a text, the first time I clicked "show on device", the option popped up on the phone to select the default program between Go SMS and stock messaging. I clicked Go SMS, and set to "Always". Now it opens up Go SMS everytime.
Hope this helps some of you!

but your method only give you notification that you receive message but doesn't show any message content right?
What I need is able to read text message on gear just like the stock messaging app is. I miss using textra.

It works with my version as well, 1.9.4 but I just had some issues getting it to work after the latest gear manager update. Basically had to switch it to wifi and back to bletooth before it reconnected and was working again.

Using my method, the stock messaging app is still pushing the notifications to the gear (not Go SMS), so they come up the same, and you can read the message content, no problem.
Ah I see. Let me try and see how it goes. Thx.

Use ATN Manager 1.2.2
That seems to work with most apps that send notifications.
using it with Chomp SMS and it works great.

I tried ATN and it didn't work for me at all. Posted in the thread for it, but no help as of yet.
I followed the instructions, installed the app, checked the box under security/notifications, selected the apps I wanted, most notably is textra. I sent myself several texts, as well as an email from my girlfriends phone and I did not get one notification on the watch
I didn't want to use Gosms, but for now it seems like the best bet. This worked perfectly for me. Thanks for the detailed breakdown
Try Gear Getter. It won't send notification to watch if screen is on though
