I think that people should be able to use AI2 to create Wear OS apps.

Here is what MIT said several years ago https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/mitappinventortest/WMzgBp4KN5I/cWCdGW5ruccJ;context-place=categories/mitappinventortest  

If you want to design and build for Wear OS, then consider Android Studio.

Regards,
Steve

I don’t know how to code properly, that’s why I was asking. If I knew how to code, I would use Android Studio.

Here is how you can start learning Android Studio https://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/ .   ...and to develop your first Wear OS app https://www.androidauthority.com/develop-simple-android-wear-app-622043/  

Learn the basic coding concepts using App Inventor, then transition to Android Studio James.  

Here us how to can learn App Inventor :  Here are some resources to help you learn to use the AI2 tools  A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook   http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page.  The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.

There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro  and the aia files for the projects in the book are here:  http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles  

How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here:  http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling  .
