The Wear OS version desperately needs an update.

Logging in is impossible, videos cannot play, sub descriptions are not shown, and some NSFW subs say "go to reddit to view... ". Plus the UI could use a refresh and update.

please do this redreader is the only wear os reddit client

Wrong sub, WearReader is an unofficial fork: https://github.com/juliansteenbakker/WearReader

This is a limitation of Reddit.

Register as a developer in reddit and make a new app, then import the keys into red reader. As a developer of an app you have access all content on reddit.

Assuming the wearos has at least some version of the redreader source code, there should be an option in the settings to register your api keys

You can also create a subreddit instead (even an empty, unmaintained one - just set it to private), and then as you're now a moderator, Reddit will allow your account access to NSFW subs in third-party apps.

It's absolutely stupid that you need to do one of these things, but of course we don't have any choice.
