I want to connect a 3rd party bluetooth device to my Android Wear watch (Samsung Gear Live). I am trying to find documentation on how to do this but I am not having any luck. All the searches I do seem to think I want to attach to a phone.
Does anyone know of a good example that shows how to connect, for example, a bluetooth heart rate monitor (or other device) to the Android Wear so I can keep a history when the phone isn't present? Is this even possible? Would it be the same protocols as doing it from a phone/tablet?

Yes You can. I have Mi Band 4 and I am using a sony bluetooth headset. Now I can connect that two device simultaneously and I can even control the music by Mi Band 4.
Reset your device connection On your phone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and Forget the pairing with your watch. Go to Settings > Apps > Android Wear > Storage > Clear data. Go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Services > Storage > Manage space > Clear all data. Reboot.
Pairing an Android Wear smartwatch with an Android phoneInstall the "Wear OS by Google Smartwatch" app on your phone, available on the Google Play Store. On your watch, turn on Bluetooth. Open the Wear OS app on your phone and follow the initial setup. Tap on "I agree".
@Ryan Tensmeyer, I think @Wayne Pieksarki's answer is now out-dated. I was able to create and run a stand-alone app that used BLE to connect to a third-party bluetooth device, namely, a wireless thermometer. I used a library called SweetBlue and tested the stand-alone app on an Android Wear Moto 360. It worked great -- no phone required!
