From v1.7 onwards, GM has 2 version numbers in the same apk as it includes the files to connect both original Gear and Gear 2. v2 is also used if running Tizen on original Gear
Download
You can download the installer (and secondary apks) here:

v2.2.15022599 includes all the apks that GearManger attempts to download. I'd suggest installing all of these before installing main GearManager apk. You'll notice there are 2 plugin apks. Gear Plugin is for newer devices (Gear 2/Neo), Gear1 Plugin for original Galaxy Gear
Notable changes

v1.5.121601
Very buggy - suggest not installing
v1.6.111801
Leak. Support for ML1. Exchange email body blocked gm1.6 plus ml1
v1.6.131003
Leak. Support for NA3. Support for KitKat
v1.7.031004
Leak. From Galaxy S5 stock rom
Other devices
As of yet, it is not possible to get Gear working fully without a Samsung device running 4.3 TouchWiz rom
To install on other devices, make sure you put GearMangerStub.apk in system/app. Then you can install GearManager and the secondary apps (music and weather won't install without dedicated samsung apps also on your device). You will not get notifications and it is very limited, but it connects
Suspect the issue is related to tight integration with TouchWiz framework and Samsung apps
