Got it this morning. Am looking around if anyone else has it cuz I swear, it added some extra watchfaces (I know it's not 3rd party added cuz as far as I can see the cards are in their small/hidden size).

Still not here in the UK.
I'm wondeRing if it is available, whether a watch reset might force it to download. This worked on the previous update.

Nothing here yet. FYI Google push out the updates for the current wear devices, not the OEM. Somewhat disappointed that the G Watch wasnt first, its the device Google use for reference, its basically the Nexus Watch.

No update here in the Netherlands yet

Build number?
Does anyone have a build number and/or an image to sideload with adb?

The build number should be KGW42N, can anyone confirm?

I have the prompt to update my g watch but I have to flash back to stock first... Is it worth me doing that?

I had the prompt too, but TWRP messed up the update. Yes, do go back to stock if you're on Gohma. Also, if you have TWRP, reflash the stock recovery too.

If anyone has luck side-loading on a stock, rooted, unlocked watch, I'd sure like to know the procedure. Seems that when I go into ADB sideload on my watch, my computer can't see the device anymore.
Here's the direct link to the ZIP:

That image link is not correct, it's for the gear live (sprat) and not for the G-watch (platinum). I'm working on a trick to fool the recovery, but it might entail rooting your watch.

I think I have something. It does require rooting your watch (which should be easy enough if your bootloader is unlocked)
adb push <OTA file> /sdcard
adb shell
su
mv /sdcard/<OTA file> /cache
echo "boot-recovery"> /cache/recovery/command
echo "--update-package=/cache/<OTA file" >> /cache/recovery/command
echo "--wipe-cache" >> /cache/recovery/command
echo "reboot" >> /cache/recovery/command
reboot recovery
That should do it. No adb sideload needed.

No problem, mate. I spotted it in time
If someone comes up with the actual OTA package, my above procedure might very well work.

I got the OTA this morning. Build number is different than the other watches:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

KGW42Q is build number for sure. There is some screenshots on 4pda with new watchfaces and buildnumber

But for some reason the G Watch is Build KGW42Q but the Gear Live is KGQ42N.
