Your implementation of WearableListenerService will be invoked by the system when there is a message, data layer changes, etc for your app and it terminates relatively quickly when its job is done (shortly after you leave the scope) so the main advantage of using that is you don't have to have a long-running background service (which kills resources and battery) to listen to possible incoming data for your app.
