			= ADB =

			Some watches have a known issue with the SSH implementation that prevents a working SSH connection. On these devices, ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is the only available shell access method.

			ADB can also be used as a straightforward alternative to SSH on any supported watch, and provides equivalent root shell access.

			== Enabling ADB ==

			ADB and SSH are both enabled and disabled individually in '''Settings > USB'''. Selecting '''Charging only''' disables both. The toggle takes effect immediately without a restart.

			== Connecting ==

			With ADB enabled and the watch connected over USB, open a shell with:

			<pre>adb shell</pre>

			This gives you a root shell equivalent to <code>ssh root@192.168.2.15</code>.

			== Multiple watches ==

			When more than one watch is connected, ADB assigns each device a port. List all connected devices and their ports with:

			<pre>adb devices</pre>

			Connect to a specific watch by passing its port with the <code>-s</code> flag:

			<pre>adb -s <port> shell</pre>

By default, you can get a remote shell on you smartwatch with SSH over RNDIS. On some smartwatches, it is also possible to use SSH with Wi-Fi.
