Google is gearing up to unveil the Pixel Watch 2 this year, and it promises to bring significant improvements to its smartwatch line-up. Among the exciting updates are the new watch faces that have been leaked by Android Authority, offering a sneak peek into what’s in store.
Accessible Watch Face
The first watch face, aptly named Accessible focuses on simplicity and readability. While it shares design elements with existing faces, it adopts a minimalistic approach.
There will be four variants to choose from, each offering a different layout:
- Circular: Displays a single-line digital time above a circular complication slot.
- Linear: Shows a single-line digital time with the date above it.
- Stacked Time: This watch face displays the time digitally, with the hours stacked above the minutes, and has a single complication on the side.
- Just Time: Presents a simple stacked digital time.
Arc Watch Face
The Arc watch face draws inspiration from the Apple Watch’s aesthetics and functionality. It allows up to four complications, along with additional information around the ring.
Users can opt for an optional seconds hand, and there will be six total variants available. This watch face promises to offer greater flexibility compared to others.
Bold Digital and Analog Bold Watch Faces
Bold Digital and Analog Bold watch faces embody styles similar to Android 14’s lock screen. The digital version supports up to three complications, similar to existing Pixel Watch faces. On the other hand, the analog face includes select complications and additional options around the ring.
Customization Options
According to the report, the Pixel Watch 2 will come with various watch face colors to choose from. And it seems like the new watch faces are only compatible with the Pixel Watch 2 and not with the older model. Additionally, Google will add even more customization options.
The watch will also feature dynamic theming with Wear OS 4, which can extract colors from the active watch face and apply them to the UI. The boot animation will also use these dynamic colors, similar to Google Pixel phones.
