You cannot install Video Player Separately, it comes pre-installed. You can flash a different firmware which comes with Video Player, but it is risky as you may brick your watch.

Video Player comes preinstalled with DZ09. If it is not installed on your watch then there is no way other than installing the suitable firmware with Video Player on your watch.
