got the update in Germany also but missing the 'more notifications' section. only Notifications section added for Gear specific apps

That's so strange. I wonder why UK first?
Peeps I thought I didn't have the update. But if you actually go into the Samsung app store and click on gear manager. There will be an update.
That's the step I was missing.
I now have the more notifications setting
Pretty sick

I set to backup my Gear every night, so it restored all settings as soon as it updated. good feature to use from now

Got the Gear Manager update, it wiped all my sideload apps.
Oh well. Odd thing now is when I try to check for an update for my Gear, I get the message, "Failed to check the Gears Status"
I got the US Version on Verizon. Anyone else with this or similar issue?

Check that I went into email settings on the email app and switched my notification to a actual sound instead of silent. It is working now. But I'm getting the notification of can't check it because of security probably because mine is password locked

Glad I read this stuff...
I was about to update for better notifications but I think Ill just install ATN..
I have null_08 or 7 (whichever is newer.) and I think the problem is tryin to update your Gears firmware when It has a custom ROM or root. You would have to flash the Original software V7 software THEN do the update. it wont update on these modded watches. \
It might be too late for some of you but I would recommend installing the previous version of the gearmanager.apk
and if your ROM'd then go for ATN (allthenotifications) - its just an apk for your phone. no gear adjustments. You might also have to wait for the Original firmware files to come out so you can flash back (ha) to the (future) stock system and upgrade after once your "legit"
...i think

New apk works fine with old firmware. There is a thread here for stock firmware - you can either flash latest, or flash older and try get ota

This is an excellent update.
I was rooted running Null 7.
However, this update dispenses with having to use ATN and other 3rd party software.
It shows the message sender in the preview screen for Exchange messages
When you click into the emails it lists each email and each new mail has an N in a box next to it to show it is unread.
Looking forward to future updates.
I suppose what we should take from this is that Samsung are not idly sitting doing nothing, there's lot's going on in the background

Got the gear manager update this morning and just flashed the watch firmware with odin.
Getting the same thing with exchange email telling me to view it on the phone. Very strange... I know for a fact I have no pin requirement on my exchange account, since our admin changed it for me when I got the gear.
Gotta be another reason. Maybe someone could decompile it on the watch and see why it is doing this.
Haha, look like I'll be using my app Gear Getter, which sends things to the email notifications, to actually just send email notifications to the email notification. WUT?

Will I be able to get the Gear software update through ota if I'm rooted on nulls rom? I got gear manager updated but keeps showing gear is on latest firmware. I'm in USA

Speaker on the gear seems to be louder now after the update....
Was hoping for some more SVoice actions but they are the same.

You should probably just update your watch with ODIN. It was pretty painless.

I get a message saying that it can't show the message for security reasons. Are you actually connected to exchange with your email app?

Just updated with Odin using the new firmware on a Verizon Note 3 USA Gear combo and everything is working good for me, save Exchange as everyone already knows is bonkers ATM.
For those that were lost like me initially,
Downloaded the Stock Firmware http://uploaded.net/file/njroq150
Downloaded this Odin http://www.4shared.com/rar/ZUA2B1FW/Odin307.html
Once Odin was downloaded I just extracted to Desktop
Once the firmware was downloaded I extracted the two files inside to the Odin folder I had just put on the Desktop
Put the Gear into Download mode (at the watch home screen, hold power until it says watch rebooting, rapid press the power button until you get to a menu with three options, press the power button three times quickly, should move selection to Download mode, hold power about 3 seconds and release, should be in download mode! )
Connect everything up via USB to PC (I am assuming everyone has the USB Drivers, if not http://hotfile.com/dl/247408965/8a6739d/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.27.0.exe.html)
Launch Odin
Odin should identify the watch as (0:[COMxx]).
Check PDA and press the button. Select the file V700XXUAMK7_V700OXAAMK7_HOME.tar.md5
Then Press Start
Sit back and wait, Gear should reboot and show the upgrading android animation and Odin will display PASS in green if all went well and its safe to exit and disconnect.
Hope this helps people that were confused like me.

I've updated my Gear Manager App, and now the notification section has moved, but I still don't have "other notifications" choice under notifications. My Gear itself says Software Version: V700XXUAMJ8. Note sure what to do here, how can I get this new updated.
BTW, my Gear is rooted and running the Nova Launcher.

14Today sees a really useful update to the Galaxy Gear.
BEFORE UPGRADING - Please note that V700XXUAMK7 will break exchange email notifications. At this point in time, no one knowns if it's intentional or not.
It provides:
- Full notifications for any app which can form status bar notifications
- Preset text message replies if you don't have time to write/voice one
- Rapid access to s-voice
- Better range between the phone/watch
- Better handling of notifications
- Better connection generally between the phone/watch
Your watch will need firmware: V700XXUAMK7
Phone software to version 1.5.111304
Couple of notes: I am using a UK (Mocha Grey) Gear with a UK Samsung Note 3 and the update was OTA.

The U.S is now two updates behind. Just download MK7 from Samsung-Updates or the firmware list on the front page. It's a 280MB files so it only takes 20 minutes to download. Use any version of Odin to install it. Put the Gear in download mode by long pressing the power button until it says "rebooting" and then press it again a couple of times until the download menu comes up. Select "download mode" by pressing the button to highlight it. Long press the button to select it. With the Gear in download mode, connect it to your PC and open Odin. Take the .MD5 file you extracted from the downloaded MK7 .zip and put it in "PDA" in Odin and then click start. You should be done in about 5 minutes and your Gear will restart. When it does, unplug it from the USB cable. There's no downside to using another region's f/w on your Gear and the update process doesn't wipe your Gear's data or settings. I don't think Gear's are different h/w wise regionally so you can repeat the above process when an update gets pushed, even if it's for another region, to always keep your Gear on the latest f/w.
In addition to the notification stuff, Samsung's added the ability to "go to the last page" under "Motion" so when you bring your wrist up it returns to what you're doing rather than defaulting to the home page (clock). You can also customize the S Reply messages you can send when you're on a call or responding to a text.
The Gear feels snappier after the update.3Looks like may need updated firmware to take advantage of extra notifications
