Android wear packaging and distribution

I'm on my way to upgrade from Wear1.x to wear 2.x. Learnt that wear 2.x apps are no more embedded with companion phone app. So, I decided to generate a new apk for Android wear.

Now, I have to test this wear apk release version. We use hockey app for build distribution and I am wondering the way to distribute wear app. I couldn't find any documentation for wear distribution by hockey app.

I'm not only specifically looking for a solution around hockey app. I'm more interested what are the ways to distribute android wear builds before publishing it to play-store release channels. Can anyone please guide me?

Any insights much appreciated.

You might be interested in a new feature just released by Google Play (as of Google I/O 2018). It's called an "Internal Test channel"

It lets you send a new version of your app in seconds to up to 100 test users, using the same infrastructure as Google Play.

The common option would always be to create test users before release. Aside from your Hockey app, you can try distributing through email or releasing through a website.
