I don’t have an Android wear project, but I had the same problem when I wanted to upgrade the Support Library version for an existing project to 26.0.0. Since 26.0.0 the support libraries are available through Google’s Maven repository. So I had to add the repository to my build. gradle file.
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
}
}
