Detailed Review

WatchMaker Watch Faces stands as a comprehensive customization platform for Wear OS devices, offering users unprecedented control over their smartwatch appearance and functionality. With over 140,000 available watch faces spanning free and premium categories, the application positions itself as the market's most extensive repository for wearable personalization, including collaborations with major brands and independent creators. The application's core functionality revolves around its massive watch face library, search and filtering system, and creation tools. Users can browse designs by category, popularity, or newest additions, while the built-in editor enables custom watch face creation with layers, complications, and animations. Recent updates have expanded compatibility to include Samsung's latest Galaxy Watch models (Ultra, Watch8, and Watch8 Classic), though this has come at the cost of discontinued support for older Tizen-based devices like the Gear S3. User experience varies significantly based on device compatibility and version stability. The interface presents a grid-based browsing system with preview functionality, though some users report performance issues following updates. Real-world usage patterns show most users spending initial setup time exploring the extensive library before settling on preferred faces, with power users leveraging the creation tools for personalized designs. The VIP membership unlocks premium faces and additional editing features. User feedback reveals a pattern of satisfaction punctuated by compatibility concerns. Multiple reviewers (Isaac Sommers, September 2025; Nathan Mutti, August 2025) reported needing to downgrade to version 8.4.5 to maintain functionality on older devices, while Shawn Thomas (July 2025) noted restored functionality following developer intervention. Positive reviews consistently highlight the superior experience compared to competitors like Facer, with Joseph Griffin (August 2025) specifically praising the larger selection and smoother operation. The application demonstrates clear strengths in selection breadth and customization depth, though these advantages are tempered by compatibility limitations and update instability. WatchMaker serves best as a solution for users with supported modern devices seeking extensive personalization options, while those with older hardware may encounter functionality barriers that require version management or alternative solutions.

This is just terrible, NO support, will not act right on samsung Watch 8 classic, and my purchase of the premium is gone. Also, when making my own face, they want payment for premium(already paid once) or VIP. Wrote email, but, of course, no answer!!!

Awesome watch face app. a true shame Google artificially blocked their app on newer Android watches. EDIT: The newer versions of the app removed support for the Samsung Gear S3 and other Tizen watches. I had to downgrade to 8.4.5 to be able to use it with my Gear S3. look it up on APK Mirror if needed.

EDIT: Back up to five stars! Full functionality is back. Furthermore, Devs managed to demonstrate their support and commitment with multiple responses and a fairly quick fix. Fantastic app! ORIGINAL: I love this watch app. However, with today's update (25 July), it is now no longer functional on my pixel watch 2. It's no longer available as a watch face and I cannot set any permissions to allow it to work. Any help would be appreciated!

Almost 3 years after my initial review and I am still really enjoying this app! I'm constantly finding the most interesting faces that work with my watch. Very cool! I still highly recommend this app! :: :: Original Review - October 2022 >> I'm really enjoying this app! I've purchased several really cool watchfaces. I've also made many of my own watchfaces as well. They offer so much to choose from. This is now the only app I use for my Samsung watch! I highly recommend this app!
