Hi Guys,
Since my watch has developed a problem (http://ift.tt/1LpauUJ) I have figured out an on-the-fly return mechanism with the help of TWRP.
* This requires TWRP flashed.
** Your Facer and Watchmaker collection should be existed there (/sdcard/Facer & /sdcard/BeautifulWatches directories) already.
Since factory reset won't delete your directories in /sdcard/ ; they will stay, survive.
0- Create a new directory "app" in /sdcard/ directory. (It will be: /sdcard/app/)
1- Copy of facer & watchmaker wearable APKs and any other micro APKs you wish (SWApp, etc.) into /sdcard/app.
2- Once you have completed your factory reset & paired your phone.
3-
3.A) Press and hold power button until reset, Huawei logo pops and you will feel a long vibration.
3.B) Upon feeling the vibration, release the power button then a short press (Press/Release) quickly.
3.C) It will take you to the bootloader, go to Recovery (TWRP must be installed)
4- Once you are in TWRP, head to Advanced -> File Manager
5- Go to /sdcard/app directory, and click on "Select" button below. It will show you options (what you want to do with /sdcard/app directory) and Copy It under /data/ folder. It will overwrite your /data/app/ folder.
6- Reboot to System. You will see all apps you have kept are installed.
Now you will find Facer & Watchmaker among your watchfaces.
I also keep Swapp wearable app there as backup, and copying it either along with many other watch faces.
So you don't need to install apps one by one, /sdcard/app directory contains all apps you want to install, just copy & overwrite /data/app/ folder, all apps installed ;).
Your watch is ready, from Factory Reset confirmation to this stage takes about 5-6 mins. Really on-the-fly.
I wish it will help.
Thanks for reading

Edit: I have originally posted this thread on Huawei Watch forum, but I think it is valid for all Android Wear. Also revised some parts of text (after experiencing it several times). Transferred the thread here.
