Wear OS Tools v4.0 - ADB Utility
It's a tool for use with any Wear OS watch. I am releasing today an improved and optimized version with several new features. With this tool, you can migrate your old watch apps to Pixel Watch.
What does it do?
It is an All-in-One tool for Windows that makes it easy to do certain things with the watch, such as:
Send files to the watch such as MP3s, images, PDFs, or download files contained in the watch.
Install applications (Sideload).
Uninstall apps on the watch.
Extract all the apps you have installed on the watch and mass restore them when necessary (Backup/Restore).
Change the ringtone, notification sound, and alarm sound of the watch.
Use the computer keyboard to type on the watch.
Change screen density
Change the font size.
Force pairing the watch with Bluetooth without resetting to factory defaults.
Take screenshots of the watch screen, and send them directly to the PC (Screenshot).
Record the watch screen, and send it directly to the PC in MP4 format (Screen record).

How To Use?
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.
- Choose a function to run and follow the instructions on the screen.
I share this tool for free, to code the tool as it is now has taken me quite some time, I just ask for some feedback for the one who downloads it and tries it.
If you are going to use it, please comment on what you think or what bugs you see, or what new features you suggest. Any opinion is interesting.
Considerations
Actually, it is a simple batch script file that I coded and then converted to an executable file,
I have passed it through VirusTotal, and it has given me false positives in some 60 antiviruses that there are, fortunately, they are unknown antivirus, I do not know why this happens. I was reading about it, and I believe that it is for the type of compression that is made when going from bat to EXE and some rare antivirus detects it as Trojan.
The tool is available in English (EN) and Spanish (ES).
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 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.
When you have finished, turn off "ADB debugging" on the watch, otherwise, it will drain your watch battery...
