I just enabled USB debugging on my Google Pixel Watch and wanted to connect it to my laptop to deploy a sample wear OS app but I'm unable to get them to pair. I used the adb command (enabled Debug over Wifi) using the watch's IP and the 'Pair Devices using Wi-fi' flow from Android Studio but to no avail. Am I missing any key steps?

Did you follow one of the guides on developer.android.com?

[Ataul Munim]

There's a wear specific page

I'm following these steps https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/get-started/debugging

I'll take a look in the morning - there's a new way that doesn't require putting the IP address. The old version needs it, but they're both still available on the Pixel Watch I think which might be confusing.

Thank you, please keep me posted.

If you mean pairing devices over wifi using a 6 digit code shown on device, I've tried that several times but I always get an error.

And what happens when you try to connect with the ADB command?

[Susheel]

when I do that, I get a timeout exception

[Ataul Munim]

Are you on the same WiFi network as your computer? It doesn't work on our corporate network, we have to hotspot our computer/watch to our phone.

[Susheel]

Same network although I have my work VPN on my laptop, do you think that matters?

[Ataul Munim]

Yes I think it might matter

[Susheel]

I instantaneously saw the connection when I got off the vpn!

[Ataul Munim]

woohoo

Thank you! That was driving me nuts!
