Detailed Review

Casual Watchface AKM by Akchim Watchfaces presents a minimalist digital interface for Wear OS smartwatches, positioning itself in the crowded market of functional yet aesthetically simple watchfaces. The design emphasizes readability with large digital time display, date information, and multiple complication slots while maintaining a clean, uncluttered layout that avoids visual distractions. The watchface offers both standard and customizable versions, with the latter accessible through the developer's companion app or portfolio. Core functionality includes battery percentage indicators, step counters, and interactive elements like toggleable arrows. Testing has primarily focused on Samsung Watch 4 Classic and Watch 5 Pro models, though compatibility extends to all Wear OS 3+ devices including Pixel Watch series. The interface supports touch interactions for configuration directly on the watch rather than through paired smartphones. User experience reveals some platform-specific considerations. Pixel Watch users have reported initial battery indicator synchronization issues that require switching watchfaces and returning to resolve. Configuration must be performed directly on the watch device rather than through phone-based companion apps, which may create initial confusion but ensures proper functionality once established. The clean design proves particularly effective for quick time checks and basic activity tracking during daily wear. User feedback indicates generally positive reception with some technical notes. Steve Sherwood (June 5, 2024) noted the 'clean and clear' design but initially encountered battery display issues on Pixel Watch 1, though later found a workaround. Brandon D. Brooks (May 19, 2025) praised the aesthetic while initially struggling with complication customization before discovering the need for on-watch configuration. These experiences suggest minor usability hurdles that are resolvable but may frustrate less technical users. The watchface excels in delivering a distraction-free experience with reliable core functionality on supported devices, though cross-platform consistency requires attention. Its minimalist approach suits users prioritizing readability over feature density, while the customization options provide flexibility for personalization. Ideal for daily wear scenarios where quick information glanceability matters more than extensive data visualization.

Is there a way to change the complications? Thanks, I just bought it. When I tried to toggle Arrow ON/OFF, nothing happened. Any suggestions ? I'm on Pixel watch 3 45mm. I really like this watch face a lot. Thanks for making this. You're right. I was doing it from the phone, which doesn't work. But it works doing it from the watch. Thanks.

Clean and clear but the remaining battery is always shown as 100% on pixel watch 1 so I need to find another watch face. Update: battery issue seen when you reconfigure the watch options. If you choose a different watch face and then switch back the battery indicator then seems to work. (Stars updated)
