Google on Wednesday confirmed that Android 5.0 will be coming to Android Wear over the next week. As part of the update, users can expect to look for a whole new world of custom watch faces. Additionally, Android Wear owners will see smarter navigation, new modes (theater, sunlight), and more. And, because Google is Google, developers have access to a APIs which allow for so many other cool watch faces.
Starting today you can download watch faces from Google Play, just like you do with apps. We’ve got dozens of examples to get you started—from the unpredictable Minions in Despicable Me to the X-Ray artistry of Hugh Turvey. And because the new Watch Face API is available to all developers, you can expect even more choices in the weeks and months ahead.
Those of you who own an Android Wear watch and want to get in on the new faces already rolling out, head to the Google Play Store today! Note, you won’t be able to “view” them on your watch until the Android Wear update hits you.
Check out a gallery of some of the watch faces here today or coming soon!
