Bits
You've got plenty to like in the Bits watch face, which puts complications (or widgets) front and centre: the digital hands telling the time are actually a complication as well. It's up to you which ones you have on display, how you arrange them, and the colours you use.

The A/D watch face sticks to the basics, but its minimal aesthetic is so well designed that we feel compelled to include it here. Just about every aspect of the design can be configured as well – the fonts, the colours, the numerals, the complications, and more.

Ranger Military Watch Face
This is a really nifty analog face option for Wear OS watch owners that makes room to show additional data with sub-dials and is optimised for circular and square watches.

If you're after something a bit more elegant – though light on information – this one's a great look, particularly when used with a gold or rose gold case. Particularly well suited to Kate Spade or other female-focused Wear OS smartwatches, this is free via Facer – and certainly gets the nod from us.
Free, Facer
Not a free watch face but a gorgeously well designed one, with letters, numbers and icons carefully sketched out by its creators. There are light and dark modes, as well as circular and rectangular designs, with the option to have the seconds shown as a series of dots.
$0.99/£0.89, Google Play
For something a little bit different on your wrist, check out Timr, which shows the time and the date – and that's about it. You can customize it to suit your own tastes, though, with a choice of 11 different main colors and three background colors to pick from.
This face also prefers to use words over numbers, but does so in a more creative way by "layering" different colored blocks (or maybe that's meant to be paper) on top of each other. We also like Citrus, a similar face by the same maker.
Free, Facer
You have to pay for this one, but once you do you'll receive access to thousands of different watch face options – it's an Aladdin's cave of attractive designs, from digital to analogue and back again, and they can all be customized to suit your personal preferences.

A simple but versatile face, the Classic Light is an official creation from watch maker Vaer. So close to resembling Vaer's physical watches, it even has the 100m water resistant marker in the middle – just remember that it isn't actually going to make your Wear watch any more waterproof. We like the dark blue version too.

Developed for both round and square watch faces, Radii takes its inspiration from the planets. It displays the date, time and battery life in what looks like an echo of our own planetary system.
You've got the day and date all the way over on the left, while in the center you've got the hour with the minutes next to it, almost like a moon. And then on the right you've got a little red meter checking on the battery life. Reach for the stars, indeed.
We love this retro-tastic watch face, inspired by the Casio classics of the 1980s. As well as telling you the time and prompting feelings of nostalgia, it keeps you updated with the battery status of your wearable.
Just a great-looking watch face, full stop, with a choice of different color and theme combinations (some of which you have to pay for). You can see weather and fitness data right on the face itself, and tap on-screen shortcuts to jump to specific watch apps.
An information-heavy, weather-based app that gives you a wealth of real-time weather data, with satellite images so you can see when rain is expected, and some nice forecast home screens too. There's lots of fun for free, but you do have to pay for some premium features. Also, check that your location supports some of the more impressive features like the useful weather radar.
This collection of watch faces has a simple goal: it just wants to be modern and minimalistic. You'll get a total of seven different watch faces, which work on both round and square watches. They run the gamut of watch styles, from simple and utility to chronograph, modular and sport. It's also got support for complications, with date and date-of-week complications being built right in.
If you're the proud owner of a Google Pixel , or if you're just particularly cut up about the continued absence of a real Pixel Watch, this face could be a useful answer. It'll brand your watch like a Pixel product, so you can kid your friends and, just maybe, yourself.
