If your watch is still running Android Wear instead of Wear OS and is having trouble transferring the app or you are running a watch that does not allow the install of Play Store apps you can download the APK file here and side-load it. Keep in mind that using this method may not be able to contact the phone app as it relies on the latest version of Wear OS APIs. You can still use any third party FTP client however.
