Can I upload my app to my device without publishing?

I just started with Connect ID SDK. I want to upload my own app to my watch for testing, and I do not want to publish it.
Is it possible just upload my app to my garmin watch directly without connect IQ store. I want to test my application first or even I do not want to publish my application and use it only by myself.

I tried to find answer in forum and through documentation, but I could not :(

    Basically when you have built a .prg for your device, copy the .prg file to garmin/apps on the device. You see the device as a drive when it's in the charging base. Take it out of the charger, and your CIQ app is there.

    And where will a watchface prg go?

    Thank you for your answers. I will try.
    Will it work with watch faces as well or it will work only with applications?

    I tried, watch faces work as well. I just uploaded *.prg file to the GARMIN/APPS/ folder (near all other apps) and it works!
    Thank you very much to all for answers.
