Built for modern Wear OS smartwatches
Optimized for ultra-sharp AMOLED and OLED displays, this watch face is engineered for the latest Wear OS 5+ hardware — including the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic, Galaxy Watch 5 and 5 Pro, and Google's Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 2.
Every complication, gradient and always-on layer is tuned for high-PPI round displays, so text stays crisp and colors stay true whether your screen is at full brightness or in low-power always-on display (AOD) mode. Battery-friendly rendering keeps the always-on state efficient without sacrificing detail.
If your watch runs Wear OS 3, 4 or 5 with a circular AMOLED display, you're good to go — install it straight from the Google Play Store and apply it in seconds from the Watch Faces gallery on your wrist.
Compatibility & device support
It's optimized for Wear OS 5+ devices with AMOLED displays, including the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, Galaxy Watch 7, Galaxy Watch 6 / 6 Classic, Galaxy Watch 5 / 5 Pro, and the Google Pixel Watch 3 and Pixel Watch 2. It also runs on most Wear OS 3 and 4 watches with a round display.
Yes. The face includes a dedicated low-power always-on layout that keeps the time and key complications readable around the clock while minimizing battery drain on AMOLED and OLED screens.
Absolutely. Every element is rendered for high-PPI round displays like the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Pixel Watch 3, so edges stay crisp and gradients stay smooth at any brightness.

What wearers say
I'm a fan of minimal watch faces and this one really ticks all the boxes for me. Lots of spots for optional complications, as well as a lot of color scheme and divider options. I've found a new default watch face.
