, a widely-used watch face marketplace. Facer has been a popular platform for Android smartwatch users, providing a vast collection of watch faces with diverse features and designs. However, due to the recent changes in Wear OS, Facer is no longer compatible with the latest version.This new format aims to enhance battery life and reduce maintenance requirements by eliminating executable code within watch faces.

If you are using a Wear OS watch with Wear OS 4 or earlier, nothing changes and you will still be able to access the largest catalog of watch faces in the world. This remains true even if this watch is updated to Wear OS 5.If you decide to upgrade to the Pixel Watch 3, Galaxy Watch7, or Galaxy Watch Ultra, you will unfortunately no longer be able to use Facer, the watch faces you purchased on our platform, or access all 500,000 watch faces from our catalog via your Facer Premium subscription.

I have always appreciated the variety and customization options that Facer offers for my smartwatch. The limited selection of watch faces available on the Play Store pales in comparison to the vast library offered by Facer. I am hopeful that Google and Facer will eventually find a solution that allows for both functionality and compatibility, ensuring that users can continue to enjoy the diverse and creative watch faces that Facer provides.
