Yes. ATT sells the new Gear devices and is marketing them together with the Note 3 and the S5. Lots of ATT Note 3 users on the forum.

Hello. I use it as I did with my peeble... Just notifications. The "s health" part is a crap because instead of a cool version as the S5 users have, n3 users just have instead something called "fitness for gear" to connect the gear to the phone and the software is pointless and does not take the real advantage from the gear. N3 "s health" version does not recognise 80% of the gear functions and I cannot use it for tracking or anything else. I can introduce manually what I eat (?!). When I bought my gear I thought I could give up my endomondo software for tracking changing for something cool provided by Samsung with the bonus of hart rate sensor. Now, I can see that Samsung software for the gear on n3 sucks and despite of all requests from n3 community, Samsung is only focused on the S5 sselling.Now, my hope is turned to the endomondo, runkeeper and runstatic eventual support. Ironically, my hope for a efficient usage of the gear relies on those I intended to leave. Let's see what next month's will bring to the n3 users that bought gear 2 and neo as I.
Regards

Agreed 100%. Note 3 users are hosed with their fitness application integration. In a nutshell. there is none. Slap to the face for Note 3 owners that wanted to take advantage of the health/fitness benefits of the watch.

If you are rooted, you can get the shealth from the s5 on your note 3. Everything works but heart rate. I am using 3.1.00000039 I believe and it works great, also have the s sleep addon. Must be rooted and have kitkat on your note 3.

I am disappointed with the lack of integration of the Note 3/Gear 2 and S-Health. And I am even more worried if there ever will be. I know this is probably a canned response from Samsung support but it is a little discouraging.
