EDIT: Turned out a tutorial wasn't needed, but DonManfred gave me all the clues needed to continue with the project myself. Got him a couple of beers...
I've been searching to find a way to make a Wear OS app + mobile app for the best part of a week now, but don't seem to find a way to get it working. I've got some pointers from Erel, but it is not easy to puzzle all snippets together to one complete 'tutorial'. Some stuff said in some post may have worked at a certain time, but don't work anymore now.
I admit it has been a couple of years since I've used B4A (I'm fully invested in B4J) and there seems to have changed quite a lot in how stuff works in B4A now. I'm familiar with creating java libraries for B4A but e.g. the whole .aar thing has been very confusing for me.
The closest I got, was trying to use the 'Wearable Datalayer' library from @barx https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/wearable-datalayer.49968/ (he gracefully released the source code of his library and a couple of examples and I went trough his source codes).
However, when I load his library, I get this strange error:
From what I understand, with the latest SDKs a lot of old stuff like android-support-v4 and google-play-services doesn't exist anymore so this error may have to do with that. The solution to solve this error may be easy, but as I told, I'm a bit out of touch with the latest developments in B4A.
These are some of the posts I have read and tried to understand and I'm sure each of them is important to succeed:

Looking at some Android Studio examples on the net (which look very simple actually), I find it hard to believe B4A couldn't make it simpler to make Wear OS apps.
I can already give you a million thanks in advance!
