AsteroidOS is a Linux-based platform that may be the Wear OS alternative you were looking for

Firstpost  

A Linux-based smartwatch platform that could function as an alternative to Android Wear OS is now finally available for download. Called AsteroidOS, the OS can display notifications, show weather-related data, calendar entries, set alarms and timers and also control music playback. AsteroidOS has also thrown in a Software Development Kit into the mix for developers who love to tinker around with watch faces and also for those are interested in creating custom applications for smartwatches. As per the report, the OS is currently supported by the LG G Watch, LG G Watch Urbane, LG G Watch R, Asus Zenwatch 1, Asus Zenwatch 2, Asus Zenwatch 3 and Sony Smartwatch 3. To help you through the installation process and also since installing custom operating systems on a smartwatch is not an everyday thing, the AsteriodOS team has put together a tutorial video.
