Instead of hiding it by swiping it down, try dismissing it by swiping it to the right.
You can also try turning off preview cards in the android wear settings. Then you just swipe up to see your notifications.

I updated earlier to 4.4w.2 and it went smoothly but I noticed that my cards don't show up on my watch face when I bring my wrist up to look at them. It pretty much shows just my watch face. I was under the impression that with the new update the cards show up and I can swipe them down for later not not show up at all which isn't good for me cause then Im not sure what I just got at a glance.
Is that how the update makes the watch behave now or did mine get a little screwed?
Try restarting your watch. Worked for me..
I'll give it a go
Mine's been the same way since the update; but I'm not sure either if it's supposed to be that way or if its a bug. I was under the same impression as the OP, that they'd appear by default and you could hide them when needed.
I had issues with no cards and no notifications, and none of the apps would launch. I rebooted my phone and after it came up, then rebooted my watch and now everything is working. The only thing i'm having issues with, it that it keeps putting itself on silent. I'll set it to vibrate and about 2 hours later i'll look down at my watch and see that I had a notification. I go to check the volume and it had put itself on silent. Kind of annoying. Did it both with the 4.4w.1 and the newest update.
Okay I think I figured out a solution to the issue; in my case I just didn't understand what a certain setting in the Android Wear app actually meant. The one that says "Show Cards When Display is Dimmed", has two options: Always Show and Always Hide. Previously, I always chose "Always Hide", and cards would pop up as normal on the home screen clock; but now that's not how it works. Choosing "Always Hide" means cards will never show up on your homescreen clock (and you won't have the option to swipe them up). Choosing "Always Show" on the other hand, gives you the option: a card will pop up on the clock screen as usual, but you can swipe it down to hide it and swipe back up to bring it back. The card will also be reflected when the ambient screen comes on, unless you swipe it down to hide it. Anyway, figuring this out helped my issue so I thought it might be worth mentioning.
Every morning, and sometimes throughout the day, I get this notification telling me how many minutes to work. I haven't set a work location, and I have all settings turned off that I can see in Google, so I'm wondering how I can actually disable this annoying and useless feature.
Anybody know?
You can try and clear the data for Google now and reactivate it. Do you have a home location set?
I'd like to turn off Google now cards showing up on my watch because when I swipe away the weather, I lose card on my phone.

Sounds like there is an update that is coming with Lollipop that will allow you to bring back cards you swiped away. For now, instead of swiping away cards just swipe down to hide them.

Thanks!
View the card in google now on your phone, you can click the 3 dots in the corner of the card to enter the notification option for that particular card and permanently dismiss it.
You can also turn off card preview in android wear settings.
Ok, thanks for the advice. I had already turned the notifications off for that particular card in Google, but for some reason it kept showing. I just clicked it again, so I'll see if it sticks this time.
Android wear 5.o coming soon to solve this issue

So when I have my watch and phone in priority only, I keep getting cards that pop up on my 360. They go away when I set my phone to silent, or, "none." Is there any way to make it so I can put my watch and phone in priority (so I still get alarms) but it won't show cards? I don't want to uncheck show cards in the wear app, because I'd have to re-enable it when turning the volume back up. I don't want cards showing on the face when at work. I want it to just be a watch that i can swipe up to see cards. But when I leave work and the volume is turned up (tasker triggered by location) the cards will display on watch. Thanks for any help!
Anyone? Hate to pry, but I'm fast approaching my return date and if this cant be done, it's going back.
I'm using the Airfighter watchface and it permanently displays Google Now notifications at the bottom of the watchface (obscuring the step counter which is also displayed there). I can open each notification and swipe it away, but then it just gets replaced with the next Google Now card. How can I configure this so that Google Now cards are only displayed if I swipe down on the watchface?

In the Wear app on the phone, tap the gear icon to get to Settings, then tap "ASUS ZenWatch" under Device settings. Turn off "Card previews". I think that will do what you're asking.
Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that there was an option to keep the notifications on the watch, but not to have them automatically appear on the watchface - i.e. I only want to see them when I swipe up. I guess this isn't possible.
I just tried it, and turning off card preview does that. They appear full-screen when they arrive, but otherwise not unless you swipe up.
Edit...I just reread what you wrote, and I guess you mean you don't want them to appear at all until you swipe up. You're right, I think there's not a way to do that, at least not built in.
Google Fit seems to always have a notification on my watch of how long I've walked thus far in a day. How do I make that not take over 1/4 the screen but just be available when I swipe up instead?

It's in the android wear app on your phone. Click on the gear/settings icon and then your 360 and turn off card previews. Though that turns off all card previews.
So I can't just have it available when I swipe and not take up 1/3 of my screen? Will taking away card previews make my Google Now cards not appear when I swipe up?

All your notifications will still be there if you swipe up it just won't pop them up on the bottom of your main watch face to tell you they are there.

Oh so turning off card previews just turns off the little 1/3 popup on the bottom of the watch face?

I still get the vibration notifications when I get emails and stuff if I disable that right? I use those.
You get all notifications they just won't pop up when viewing the watch face. If your phone is set to vibrate on a specific notification your watch will vibrate and show it. Turn the setting off and test it by sending yourself an email or something.
