Android Wear 5.1 update will also have adjustable font size and pop-up notifications

Yesterday Google announced an update to Android Wear, that brings with it many new features, such as a new launcher for apps, always on apps, wrist gestures, and ability to draw emoji, You can read all about these from here but there are a couple of other features that Google missed out on.

Here are the relevant parts of Sony's rundown of the 5.1 update. These are only the new items not mentioned by Google.
  • Much like your Android smartphone, the new Android Wear update will bring pop up notifications (even when you’re looking at something else), meaning you’ll never miss anything important
  • New adjustable font sizes… will let you can see more or less of the text on-screen
Sony Says Upcoming Android Wear 5.1 Update Will Also Include Adjustable Font Size And 'Pop-Up Notifications'

The adjustable font sizes are self-explanatory, but pop-up notifications? It sounds like this might be the equivalent of heads-up on Android phones and tablets.

Sony post is referencing the Smartwatch 3, but it's safe to say these items apply to all Wear devices. There haven't been any software feature differences between the various watches as of yet.
