About Wear brightness control
This simple application is primarily for using with HuskyDev watch faces.
It was created as a consequence of changes in the permission model on devices running Android 6.0.
Beginning in Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app.
For adjusting of the screen brightness user must grant special permission "MANAGE WRITE SETTINGS". There is a special system UI for this request on the phone, but on the watches, this system UI is missing. Android Wear platform doesn't implement the system UI required for the user to grant these "super-permissions".
Solution for this issue is create new standalone application targeting older version of Android, so no need to request permission while app is running.

Has no functionality, opening app does nothing, pressing on the watch face image in the app has no effect. It's easier to use the built-in function on watch, swipe down, press brightness button and select level you want. Seems silly to pull out phone and open an app to adjust brightness when it's much easier on phone.

This app is great. The built in settings in my LG G Watch R does not dim well, even at level 1 it's too bright. So this lets me dim it more. Hope this helps save battery as well. Thanks

I downloaded it but all it does is advertise other products. There is no way to actually use the app. The watch face is nice, once you buy all the bells and whistles but I cannot get any sense out of this. How the Hell do you install it. The phone does nothing.

It is an excellent supplement to the Black Classic Watch Face, to control the brightness of the screen of your phone through the Watch interface.

Can't get past all the "download new watch faces" ads to purchase additional apps to actually be able to change the brightness on the app I have already paid for.

This app does nothing more than the built in function of Android Wear 2.0 is already able to do. I would suggest you to add extra functions, such as creating pre-defined brightness levels 1-2-3 for different occasions, that can be selected/activated with a single tap. Now that would be awesome!
