I have a non-Samsung phone with the latest version of S Health (4.8).
Can anyone tell me where to find the new Steps Challenges and Together feature where I can compete against friends? I cannot see any such features in S-Health.
Thanks.

It is one of the apps. I think you need to add it to the phone with the gear manager. It is possible that this doesn't work with non-Samsung phones - I can't check this as I have a Samsung phone.

You need a Samsung phone to set up the watch and use it...

With limited functions you can setup it without samsung phone... For example I use it with Sony Z1 and notifications work, but all samsung apps(which need samsung account) do not work...

Check out "Notifications for Gear S". You can download it from the regular Google Playstore, and it allows you to answer texts/whatsap/viber, etc. I don't know if it will work with your specific phone, but it's only $1.25 I think, and does more than the native notifications do.
ETA: Sammy also offer it in their app store, but the dev says update cycles take much longer there.
Thanks for your fast reply xendula & _Dejan_ ,
I think that on android 5.0 don't work the "Gear Manager" because I follow step by step the instructions and don't work for me. When I open the app Gear Manager, this stopped with an error. I think that this error is produced by Android Lolipoop.
Tomorrow, I try with motorola moto g to view if it is posible work with this smartphone.
Thanks for all !

Yes Im pretty shure that Gear S will not work with 5.0 until some samsung phones will not have it stock and gear manager support it...
On November 2014 I bought Gear S which i paired with my samsung galaxy s3 neo. Sometimes the smart watch stopped to work and I was able to reactivate the Gear S only after resetting it.
On 23 February after experiencing another arrest of the Gear s I downloaded from Galaxy apps the latest version of gear manager (2.2.14110499). After I have installed the gear manager I wasn’t able to reactivate my gear s although it paired with my galaxy S3 neo. In particular the gear manager is not able to download the additional software and I receive the following message: “Unable to connect to the gear. Connection to the gear is not supported by your mobile device…” Moreover just beneath the above message appear a writing during just some seconds stating: “Download url not available, can’t launchPlugin!”
What is not working? My gear s or the new gear manager?
Can someone help me? Thanks

Which version of Android are you using?

I'm using Android 4.4.2
Hmmm. Well, in order for the S to be compatible with your Samsung phone, you have to have 4.4+, non-mod touchwiz, and the gear manager (and the supporting apps... Sam Store, IAP, etc).
Is it a custom ROM or stock? If stock, when was your last OTA update?

I think I found fraud. For some days now in the official Samsung website (at least in the Italian site) neo s3 is no longer listed among the smart phones compatible with Gear S. Is this behavior legal? I hope Samsung solves this mess as soon as possible.

Problem solved! I followed the procedure reported in another thread :"Tutorial: Install Gear Manager and connect to Non-Samsung Devices" and now all seems to work perfectly. Fortunately XDA exists. Thanks
Dear wonderful people of XDA and experts of gear S devs, I have a problem connecting my note 4 to my gear S and it is mainly due to me using a custom stock rom(nameless ROM). It is very much debloated of most Samsung stuff.
Can anyone please enlighten me what is required for a Samsung phone to be paired with gear S? I want to find out what is lacking so that I may install it. I have also consulted the Rom dev for advice as well.
I think only gear manager and a Sammy rom
Gear Manager Assistant have you tried that? it's on Black Market if you don't wanna pay for it AND test it out first to see if it works correctly and then buy it...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gear_installer It's the second one down but here's some others in the related tab bar. Then there's Gear Manager for All https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gearconnector it's only a $1.90, I can say for certain Gear Manager Assistant downloads and grabs all the needed files for ya.
Oh and here's official Gear Manager maybe it'll install all the needed files: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager

I believe you are referring to this thread (porting full Android and/or Android Wear - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/development/dev-gear-s-android-port-t3177740) or this thread (making it work with non-Samsung devices - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/general/tutorial-install-gear-manager-connect-t2934307). When it comes to porting a product to a system that wasn't readily designed for it (especially most Samsung devices) - there isn't anything simple about it.

Like it says in the first thread I pointed to, users do not need to edit their build.prop to install Gear Manager from the Play Store.

I do not speak English well so I try to explain better ... if I buy the gear s2 I can install the gearmanager and all software from playstore and everything works !!! so if I modify the gear s to look like the gear s2 (with a method similar to that of build.prop on the phone) I can follow the normal procedure and install gearmanager and all the software and everything works.
Now, as gear s is very similar to the gear s2, is possible to change gear s to look like to gear s2?
I have a spare Moto X Style which is not my daily driver. I also have a Samsung Gear VR but alas it is only compatible with recent Samsung phones. Can I flash a Samsung ROM (eg Note 5, S6 or S7) to my Moto X Style so it will be recognised my Gear VR and I can run the Gear VR apps? I don't want to have to buy a Samsung compatible phone.
I have tried installing the Occulus and Gear VR system files to some degree of success but I still cannot get any apps to install as I can't get Gear VR services to run as am missing the Samsung CSC feature files. So I think it would be easier to just clone the whole Samsung ROM to my Moto. Is this doable?
Any advice please?

Simple answer is no. Long answer is each rom is built for that device. Drivers, libs, partitions, os, etc are all device dependent.
