I have no personal experience on how to get the G7 app to your Apple Watch. But I found this article:

The Apple Watch itself has accessibility options that may be helpful. Open the Watch app on your iPhone then scroll down to Accessibility. There, you can explore options that may be helpful. Also, depending on your level of blindness, on the Watch itself, you can press the crown then select Accessibility to do some of the following:

  • Reduce Transparency - to improve contrast
  • Grayscale - to increase contrast even more
  • Voice Over - to have the watch speak items on the screen that you select with a single or double tap.
  • Braille
  • Speak on Wrist Raise
  • Hand gestures.

If you find some of this helpful … or discover other tips … please post them in replies here. They may be useful to others.
