You can rename apk files to an easier one to make the process easy. It is because you will have to type the name or drag-drop the files, so if you choose to enter the name manually it will take long.
- Navigate to the platforms folders where your apks are located and open CMD from there. You can type CMD in the address and press enter to open CMD from that location.
- Enter the below command on Command Window and tap Allow if you see a prompt on your Watch. If you are seeing an error on CMD regarding being unable to connect, make sure your watch and PC are connected to the same Network, also try turning off the Bluetooth but WiFi enabled during the process.
adb connect ‘IP Address’(eg. adb connect 192.168.1.1:2050)
- Once the watch is connected to the PC over WiFi enter the below command to install third party app.
adb -s "IP address" install filename.apk(eg. adb -s 192.168.1.1:2050 install abc.apk)
- It will take some time to install the watchface to Galaxy Watch 5/4 over WiFi. So wait for the success message. Repeat the installation command for the other three watchface apks.
- Now you can access new watchfaces on your Galaxy Watch 5 or Watch 4.
- To disconnect the adb connection enter the below command.

Once the need for adb debugging is completed, make sure to turn off the adb debugging in developer options to save battery life.
