Help AndroidWear 2: are notifications full screen only now?

I have just upgraded my Huawei Watch to Android Wear 2.

With the previous version of the OS, notifications would show up by taking up a small portion of the screen at the bottom.

What happens now is different and, IMHO, not functional at all: the notification takes the whole screen, but stays there for a few seconds only. If I check my watch after the notification has already disappeared, I have no way to tell if there is any new notification or not - other than by swiping from the bottom to the top.

Is there any way to bring back the old functionality? Anything that would allow me to understand, with just a quick glance, whether I have new notifications or not would be great.

Thanks!
