Hi - I am new to Wear OS (just got a Watch 5 Pro). Is there an easy way to find the watch faces on the Google Play Store? I noticed that there are no separate categories for watch faces (other than just tiny ones). I do a search for watch faces but I don't think I'm getting a list of all that are available. Thanks in advance for any help!
Hi, Play store has categories. When I start Play Store on watch, there are about 8 categories, one of them is "Watch faces recommended for you" (but I have Ticwatch Pro 3 Ultra LTE based on Wear OS 2 watch, Wear OS 3 on Samsung is heavily customized by Samsung, so these categories may not be available and it may show just faces compatible with your watch). When accessing Play store on computer, there is category "Watch faces" and I can istall watch faces to phone and watch directly. But I believe most watch faces can't be found on Play store, but in some App/website and then installed to watch (similar way as installing apps from unknown sources on Android phone, enable adb and then connect over WiFi to youe watch and install apk witch watch faces).
PS: there is a list of apps on computer Play store:
Watch apps - Android Apps on Google Play
Enjoy millions of the latest Android apps, games, music, movies, TV, books, magazines & more. Anytime, anywhere, across your devices.
play.google.com
Not many (but it's more watch, than computer;-) and apps are also filtered by Wear OS version/country, but this link should give you overvies of available Wear OS apps.
PS2: There is way how to install nearly any Android app to Wear OS watch, but I use it as pedometer and for basic notifications and don't need to run unoptimized games/apps on it.
Thank you for the suggestions. I don't remember seeing a watch face category when looking at the Google Play Store on my computer. I must have missed it. Thanks again.
For tizenOs was more free watch faces.
I am making watch faces for Wear OS. I also cannot find any of my watch faces when I search, unless I search for my developer name (MURADIUM). Nobody around the world would just receive a revelation and search for my name. They don't...

Anyone know if there is an app for Gear S3 that is compatible with watchmaker watch faces? Or any similar app with a vibrant google+ community of watch faces?
Watchland might be an option but I don't think it's Gear S3 compatible? At least I can't seem to find the app in the Samsung App Store.
WatchMaster on Google Play (I assume also on Samsung Store) however in my limited use I haven't designed any watches. Not sure if you can make your own or just download pre-made watch faces made by others. There are also a lot of paid watch faces, but still plenty of nice free ones, as well. I too am looking for a customization watch face maker app for the Gear S3 and haven't found one yet.
I'm interested in the Huawei Watch 2 Sport, but reading reviews and comments I found this one:
"BEWARE! International users that do not have access to Google Play Music shall avoid this watch (and all other Android Wear 2.0 devices) at all cost if you want to play music on the watch. This is because to load music onto the watch, you will need access to Play Music which is region locked."
Can anyone confirm this? The main usage for me would be running, so I need GPS + Play Music.
I will buy it on USA and use it abroad.
Why you have no access to google play music?
Fyi, YouTube Music has joined the wear os party including our Galaxy Watch 4!
YouTube Music finally makes its way to select Wear OS 2 watches
Select Wear OS 2 watches, including the Fossil Gen 6, join the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 with access to the new YouTube Music app.

Great! they can make apps work everywhere but can't fix the shuffle problem
I am on beta 5 UI. For some reason wear installer does not show up in the wear play store for me. I need to sideload an app to my galaxy watch. Can I use ADB to sideload the apk? What commands would it be?
See for approach

How? If the app does not show up in wear play store app. It only shows in phone play store.

Hello, like how you can sideload the Pixel watch APK to get the pixel watch faces on any other Wear OS watch, does anyone have the links to any other watch APKs? Specifically after the APKs for the standard watches on other Wear OS smart watches.
Fossil, Huawei, TAG APKs etc. I remember there were some around for the Asus watch years ago but I've lost them
I have the Fossil ones.. I am looking for a copy of Pandora for wear os. It use to be on the playstore but Google took it off because Pandora stopped supporting it. So if you have it on your watch or have a way to get it from a friend or online somewhere let me know been looking high and low for it.
