Requirements

Windows O.S.

Have the ADB drivers installed. Here is the link to download them. During installation, make sure to enable the "Add to System Path Environment" option. Here you have more information about ADB drivers. Since v10, if you don't have ADB drivers installed, they are automatically downloaded and installed as soon as you open Wear OS Tools. [new]

Connect the watch and the phone to the same Wi-Fi network.

Enable debugging over Wi-Fi on the watch. On the watch, go to Settings > system > About and tap "Build Number" several times until you see a message that says "you are now a developer". Then go to Settings > developer options and enable "ADB debugging" and "Debugging over Wi-Fi".

If you want to connect the watch to the phone via Bluetooth or Cable USB, follow the steps detailed on the tool.

Considerations

The tool is available in English (EN) and Spanish (ES)..

Tested on TWP3 and TWP5, please give feedback on other watches.

To find out the IP address of the watch, just go to "Debugging over Wi-Fi" in Settings > developer options. Under that option, you will see the IP. You can also see it in Settings > Connectivity > Wi-Fi > "Your Wi-Fi network".

You can connect the watch by USB cable, by bluetooth or by Wi-Fi network.

Wear OS watches are a bit unstable to stay connected to the Wi-Fi network especially if it is connected by Bluetooth with the phone, to make sure it connects smoothly when using the tool enable the "Enable Wi-Fi automatically when charging" option in Settings > developer options, and plug the watch to the charger. Another trick is to momentarily deactivate Bluetooth in the watch, the Wi-Fi network will be activated in a few seconds.

Since v10 you can use the tool in multitasking mode, i.e. you can for example backup watch apps while you are applying custom configurations. [new]

When you have finished, turn off "ADB debugging" on the watch, otherwise it will drain your watch battery...

Where to download?

Wear OS Tool v10​

Method

Download and unzip in a folder the file from the "Where to download" section.

Make sure you meet all the points in the "requirements" section.

Locate the IP address of the watch as explained in the "considerations" section.

Run Wear OS Tools and enter the IP address.

If your watch is Wear OS 2 enter 5555 or nothing in the port number, and skip to step 7.

If your watch is Wear OS 3, enter the port number, which will be different from 5555

.

Select "Pair new device" or "Wireless debugging" (This step is only performed the first time) and enter the IP, port and pairing code, then re-enter the IP and port number as in the previous step

.

A notification will probably appear on the watch asking "Allow debugging?", select "Always allow from this computer".

In the tool, choose a function to run and follow the instructions on the screen.

Clarification on the new pairing procedure in Pixel Watch.

In the update in March 2023 for Pixel Watch, Google has implemented the new adb pairing procedure that had already been for some time on Android 11 and higher phones. It should be remembered that Wear OS 3 is based on Android 11, that is, watches like Pixel Watch, Galaxy Watch 5 or Fossil Gen 6. For now, this procedure is only implemented on Pixel Watch, but probably in the coming months it will be implemented on the other Wear OS 3 watches.​

The process is that you must first pair the watch with a device such as a PC or smartphone, entering a random pairing code and a random port number (only the first time you pair to the device) and then the connection is made through the IP address as it was done so far, but with the difference that the port number is random (it is not 5555 as before) and you will have to consult it on the watch every time you connect the watch in developer mode.

Wear OS 2 watches, and for now Wear OS 3 watches (except Pixel Watch) connect the watch as usual and with fixed port number, i.e. 5555.
