Why is app incompatible with my device?

Why This Error Occurs on Android. The error appears when the Play Store thinks your device isn't compatible with the app you're trying to download. This doesn't mean that there's an issue with your device. The error means the app developer hasn't chosen your device for their app (for their own reasons).

Since Android Wear application are only in sync with a handheld device, it needs to have a corresponding application in the handheld device.

Let me make it little more clear: To install anything on Android Wear, you need to have corresponding application for mobile, which will sync up its corresponding wear part and install the same on wear.

So go ahead develop a dummy kind of an application for handheld.

According to the official documentation, in order to publish a wearable app without a phone app component, you need to raise your minimum target SDK version to 2.0.
