I see that you found a solution to your problem, but here is my version that combines build configs with flavors and application suffixes in case you might need that in the future. Could also be relevant information for those who end up googling their way into this post.

app/build.gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.3'

    signingConfigs {
        debug { ... }
        release { ... }
    }

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.sample.myapp"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionName "3.0.1"
        versionCode 301
    }

    buildTypes {
        debug {
            applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
            embedMicroApp = true
            minifyEnabled false
            debuggable true
        }
        release {
            embedMicroApp = true
            minifyEnabled true
            zipAlignEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }

    productFlavors {
        trial {
            applicationIdSuffix ".trial"
        }
        full {
            applicationIdSuffix ".pro"
        }
    }
}

configurations {
    trialDebugWearApp
    fullDebugWearApp
    trialReleaseWearApp
    fullReleaseWearApp
}

dependencies {
    ...

    trialDebugWearApp project(path: ':myWearApp', configuration: 'trialDebug')
    fullDebugWearApp project(path: ':myWearApp', configuration: 'fullDebug')
    trialReleaseWearApp project(path: ':myWearApp', configuration: 'trialRelease')
    fullReleaseWearApp project(path: ':myWearApp', configuration: 'fullRelease')
}

wear/build.gradle:

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion '23.0.3'

    publishNonDefault true

    signingConfigs {
        debug { ... }
        release { ... }
    }

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.sample.myapp"
        minSdkVersion 20
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionName "3.0.1"
        versionCode 301
    }

    buildTypes {
        debug {
            applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
            minifyEnabled false
            debuggable true
        }
        release {
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }

    productFlavors {
        trial {
            applicationIdSuffix ".trial"
        }
        full {
            applicationIdSuffix ".pro"
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        ...
    }
