Android Wear Watch Face not being installed

I must be missing something simple. I have developed a watch face, but when I build the mobile apk it never makes it's way to the watch. If I build the wear apk, everything works as expected.

Things I have checked so far.

Permissions: I have set the permissions in both the wear and mobile AndroidManifest

<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.permission.PROVIDE_BACKGROUND" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

Gradle build: The wear app is referenced in the build.gradle of the mobile app.

wearApp project(':wear')

Things to note, The mobile app does nothing other than be a carrier for the wear app. It does not have any Activities.

You have to generate a signed APK and install it manually on your phone with the Android Wear companion app.
