    How to put it on your watch
    1. A Wear OS watch (Galaxy Watch 4 or newer, Pixel Watch…) paired with your phone, and MusicX8 1.3.9 on the phone.
    2. On the watch: Settings → About watch → Software → tap Software version 7 times.
    3. Settings → Developer options: turn on ADB debugging and Wireless debugging, then Pair new device (it shows an address and a code).
    4. On the phone, install Wear Installer 2 from the Play Store, enter the watch's address and code, pick this file and install. (Or from a computer: adb pair, then adb install.)
    5. MusicX8 is now in the watch's apps. Add its tile: swipe to the tiles, tap +, choose MusicX8. Developer options can be turned off again.
