Wear OS 5 killed Facer watchfaces, but Wear OS 6 will bring them back to life
- Facer announced it will be returning to Wear OS devices this fall.
- Wear OS 6 will support compatibility with the app’s custom watch faces in Watch Face Format.
- The updated Facer experience will include more than 500,000 faces, instant syncing, and a versatile pricing structure.
In the wake of Google I/O 2025, long-running watch face customization platform Facer has announced a major update. With a revamped app, Facer watch faces will make a full return to Wear OS smartwatches. Alongside Wear OS 6, the app’s update aims to resolve compatibility issues introduced by Google’s Watch Face Format transition in 2024.
When Google launched Wear OS 5 and made Watch Face Format mandatory, it left users without access to long-favored custom watch face apps like Facer, WatchMaker, and many more. As of today, users can expect the return of at least one of these apps: Wear OS 6 will offer expanded support for third-party watch faces, including a full Facer experience.
