Steps how to install a watchface manually

To interact with emulator system inside you should use adb command, provided in pack

1. Validate a list of installed watchfaces

adb shell ls -l /data/app/watchface/market

2. Create a dir for new watchface

adb shell mkdir /data/app/watchface/market/362700xxx

where should be ID of watchface, make it unique to avoid conflicts

3. Upload a watchface file

adb push d:\faces\resource.bin /data/app/watchface/market/362700xxx

you have to change it in watchface file header too, in any hex editor ID,
or take it from admin panel with ready ID
