Using Data API changes to update watch face UI

Question

While having separate service could definitely fit the bill, I was researching for possibly having just one service for both CanvasWatchFaceService and being registered for Data Layers API, and seems the DigitalWatchFaceService in the Google sample/android-WatchFace provide an example of this.
