To get a list of apps installed on an android wear, type:
adb -s localhost:4444 shell pm list packages
now to uninstall an app, type:
adb -s localhost:4444 uninstall [-k] <insert package name here>
OR adb -s localhost:4444 uninstall <insert package name here>
The "[-k]" means "keep data and cache directories", should you want to save them. But, this is optional (personally, I used the latter).

To add to this:

These instructions still work great in 2023, and are the top result on google, but the latest WearOS does have some extra steps now to get adb connected first, which can be found here https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/z31ny0/psa_adb_to_wear_os_3_requires_extra_steps/jx1o5st/

I ended up using

adb shell
