Face-Off Studio / Wear OS

Make a Wear OS watch face

Design a face for a compatible Galaxy Watch or Pixel Watch in your browser. Start from an editable analog face, create a separate always-on layout, and prepare your project for native Wear OS testing.

Open the editor See the tested starter

Start designing and save a portable project without an account. Sign in for native exports and development APK builds.

Build the dial and always-on scene

  1. Download the editable starter below and choose Open in the editor. To begin a new design, choose File → New project → Analog starter or Blank canvas.
  2. Select the dial or a hand in Layers. Edit its color, position, size or pivot in Properties. Preview at several times to check that the hands move around the right point.
  3. Switch to always-on mode and review the time at a glance. The starter’s always-on scene shows a simple 24-hour clock while the analog dial and seconds hand stay hidden.
  4. Save your .faceoff.json master before exporting so you can return to the editable layers.

These 454 × 454 captures show the same starter running in a Wear OS API 33 emulator. The Normal capture shows its dial, date and moving seconds hand. The always-on capture shows the emulator in Doze with the 24-hour clock.

Download editable starter

The download opens in Face-Off Studio. To install a face on a watch, export and build for that watch’s Wear OS and Watch Face Format versions.

Export for your watch and test the build

  1. Check your watch’s Wear OS version and the Watch Face Format versions supported by Android. This workflow is for compatible Wear OS devices, including Galaxy Watch4 and newer Wear OS Galaxy Watch models and Pixel Watch.
  2. Sign in, reopen your master, and choose Export .wff for native Wear OS resources or Export .wfs to continue in Samsung Watch Face Studio. Reopen and check WFS exports in Samsung’s editor. WFF can retain supported vectors while WFS export converts them to per-layer images.
  3. Use Build for a development APK when the Face-Off builder is available. Install the test APK with ADB and verify the exact package’s Normal and always-on scenes on your device or emulator.
