How to enable developer options and USB debugging on your Android Wear device.

What would an Android device be without the ability to enable Developer Options. Today i’ll be showing you how to enable developer option and USB debugging on your Android Wear device. Once you have ADB debugging setup you can do things like unlock the bootloader, think about rooting your Android Wear watch and anything else you can think of… like a custom ROM (YES. There are actually ROMs for your Android Wear watch.)

1. Say “OK, Google” to your watch, then “settings” to bring up the settings menu.

2. Scroll down to ‘About’, and tap on it.

3. Find the ‘build number’ and tap on it multiple times.

4. A countdown will tell you that you are becoming a developer.
