Exclusive: These are the new Pixel Watch 2 watch faces
I like them. They look pretty.
Some of these are decent, but if they really say "go fuck yourselves" to their first gen users who paid ~double what an equivalent Apple Watch costs then everyone should really think twice about buying a gen 2.
It's a basic watch app, there is zero excuse for not providing them to atleast all their direct customers, although it would be quite frankly much better for the ecosystem if they provided them to all Wear OS users.
While thats true. Im more annoyed that google paywalled features that the gw and apple watch provide for free.
Yeah seriously. The only reason i bought a PW is because I don't have a Samsung phone which was needed for some of the GW features like SPO2. I'm still not a fan of the size of the Pixel Watch but decided to give it a try. Having all of the stats locked behind a subscription is terrible.
I have a fossil gen 6 and looking at the next gen watches. What pw features are paywalled?
The original Pixel Watch faces are like, boringly good. They put so much effort into the design of the Utility watch face that it pretty much outshines anything else preinstalled to the point that I end up getting decision fatigue trying to pick anything else out.
Still don't really care about the new watch faces though given half of them are just analog clocks, and the other half is just the time, but really big.
Love that Arc face. Especially with the ring indices
Eh, I really dislike the Android 14+ skin. I was hoping it wouldn't stick around but looks like it's here to stay for now.
(it currently appears that they will remain exclusive to the second-gen watch)
All in a classic Google fashion to ignore original Pixel Watch buyers with software that could definitely run on it. Especially given the new watch face format with Wear OS 4.
wear os moment
The watches themselves are already ugly as hell though. The Samsung ones look better but from what I heard have massive software issues and require a Samsung phone to make use of all the features. Can't really say I see anything really alluring on the smartwatch market at the moment.
Not really a fan of these, but then my favourite at the moment is a terminal watch face so maybe I'm not their target
Yes, the watch face looks good. I can recommend you take a look at the WFA: Watch Face App, there are many designs that look similar. I've been using it for a while and there's also a free version with a really good design. If you still know watch faces that look good and look similar, feel free to send them. I find the standard designs really boring. Which smartwatch are you using? I've heard that there are some problems with Huawei watches?
