Android Wear 5.0 is finally out on all devices, and that means developers are playing a little catch-up. Not only are there new system features to take advantage of, we finally have full support for custom watch faces. Many of the previously released ones have been updated for Android 5.0, but we're focusing here mostly on newly added apps and watch faces.
A lot of the new Android Wear watch faces are cool, and a surprising number of them are free. The settings also tie into the Android Wear app, so make sure to head there as you try all the stuff on this list. Speaking of, the bulk of this post will be watch faces â€" there were a ton ready to go when Google announced Lollipop for Wear, and the number has only grown since then.
Wear Apps
Coffee - SMS on Android Wear
Android Wear is built mostly around voice interaction for messaging, but Coffee is an SMS app that lets you shoot off messages without talking to your wrist, which isn't always possible. It comes with some quilt-in messages, but you can add your own custom ones too.
Note, this is SMS, not Hangouts. There is still no way to send a new Hangouts message from Android Wear. You can only reply and canned responses are limited. At least with Coffee, you can say what you want without using your voice.
--
Coffee is a polished SMS app for Android wear that lets you both send SMS and reply to SMS without talking to your Android Wear watch in awkward situations.
Coffee plays nicely with the SMS app on your phone and only replaces the Android Wear experience.
Highlights:
★ Navigate 100’s of messages with a few swipes in our unique UI
★ Fast and easy -- just flick your wrist to launch Coffee and send an SMS.
★ Customize your own messages that can be sent with two taps
★ Customize vibrations patterns for your favorite contacts so you instantly know who’s trying to reach you
★ Lots of settings
Â
Coffee is the first messenger app built ground up for Android Wear.
Â
Â
Wizz - Vibrations messenger
The unfortunately named Wizz is basically a take on Apple's Taptic feedback messaging then. It's like a virtual tap on the shoulder with different patterns for different people and statements. It's free if you wanna give it a shot.
--
Share your feelings through the vibrations.
Want to say hello ? Hello Wizz .
Want to go for a beer ? Beer Wizz .
No particular reason ? Just wizz .
So many possibilities...
Make your friends phones vibrate with a simple touch on your screen.
One word, one wizz, one emotion.

Watch Faces
ustwo Smart Watch Faces
You may know ustwo as the developer of Monument Valley. They were also ready to go with an official Android Wear 5.0 watch face pack to coincide with the announcement. It's free and a few of them are neat.
--
Our smart watch faces integrate calendar and weather information so you can see at a glance when your next appointment is, how busy/free you are today, or just what the weather will be later.
ALBUMEN
An abstract calendar face showing a constant 12 hour overview of your day. Large blobs indicate when you're busy. Fun fact: Albumen is the white of an egg.
NEXT
If you have a busy calendar and check the time just to work out when you're busy next then this watch face is for you.
EPISODE
Doesn't get more glanceable than this. See what the weather is now. See what the weather will be next.
RUNWAY
Rainy? Sunny? Foggy? Don't worry. We got you. This face gives you a constant 12 hour weather forecast.
PAC-MAN Watch Face
If you have a dollar to blow, why not have PAC-Man eating ghosts on your wrist? Perhaps this will help take care of Artem's haunted wrists. It makes more sense on a square watch than a round one, if you want to be canonical, but it works on both.
--
Bring retro cool & hi-tech to your wrist with the iconic new PAC-MAN Watch Face. Bend time as PAC-MAN races around the dial, devouring power-pellets, ghosts and fruit. Clock watching was never this much fun.
Download the new Android Wear now, the fashionable way to crunch time.
It’s time to download the PAC-MAN Watch Face now.
Rebecca Minkoff Watch Face
If you need a big, shiny gold watch face, here you go. Apparently this is "utterly chic and of the moment." Whatever. Fashion, psh.
--
The modern, minimalist design of Rebecca Minkoff’s Android Wear watch face is utterly chic and of the moment. The metallic gold screen features the brand's signature pyramid studding and logo.
The Hundreds Watch Face
This is a digital watch face that takes advantage of the accelerometer to animate the patterns so they look like they're floating around the clock. There are a ton of different patterns that shuffle each time you wake up the watch. It's a neat one, and free.
--
Bring The Hundreds' lifestyle to your new Android wearable, customizable with dozens of graphic themes from the brand portfolio.
The Hundreds is a global apparel and media brand, recognized for its prolific design and unique graphic patterns. Now your new Android wearable can reflect The Hundreds lifestyle, customizable with dozens of graphic themes from the brand portfolio. The time is told in Bobby Hundreds' handwriting while dynamic effects bring the watch face to life as you tilt your wrist.
The Hundreds is Huge.
If you don't see the watch face appearing on your watch, hang tight. The watch face requires the latest version of Android Wear, which should be automatically updated on your watch over the next week.
Un Petit Monde Watch Face
The Un Petit Monde Watch Face is an animated watch face with miniatures in real world environments. It's fun, but the font is a little too messy for my tastes.
--
The Un Petit Monde (A Small World) watch face transforms Moses’ unique visual style into a series of daily timelapses. Combining miniature toy figures with real-world environments, Moses creates striking scenarios that tell open-ended tales. Layered with travel-inspired interfaces sketched by MediaMonks, each of Moses’ shots are composed and captured specifically for Android Wear.
Raw Vegan Blonde Watch Face
Do you want, like, vegetables and stuff on your wrist? Well, here you go.
--
Stylize your watch face with Amber Locke’s carefully crafted ‘veg art’ themed designs â€" inspired by the beauty of natural foods. With an elegant pattern for every day of the week and a fruitful feature that switches the face into an ambient state, this watch face is ripe and ready for your Android Wear.
Despicable Watch Face
This is another paid watch face that launched with the 5.0 update, but this one has Minions from the Despicable Me films. Different ones show up throughout the day, doing different Minion things. Is it worth a buck? Maybe.
--
NOTE: Please make sure your watch is running Android Wear 5.0. The update is rolling out now but may take a few days. Thank you for your patience.
From Illumination and Universal Pictures, the team that brought you the DESPICABLE ME franchise and the upcoming film MINIONS, comes a Despicable new way to wear a watch. Now, you can experience the subversive Minions on your wrist and get an exclusive glimpse into their world:
• Check the time & find out your Minion's mood. Some are confused, others happy but they're always mischievous
• Brand new style & unique Minion animations from the acclaimed Illumination team
HOW DOES IT WORK?
You’ll see different Minions throughout the day as you check the time, some angry, some sad, some happy but all mischievous. Every once in a while, you’ll actually catch the Minions moving around causing trouble on your watch.
Xogram Watch Face
The Xogram Watch Face is basically kaleidoscope flowers with a clock. It actually looks quite nice, though, and adapts to round or square devices. There are 24 different images to choose from and the animations are smooth. Pretty cool for free.
--
This watch face brings Hugh Turvey's unique X-ray imagery to your Wear watch in the form of beautiful, abstract kaleidoscopes.
Hugh Turvey creates X-ray art, or Xograms, of the unusual and every day. His work touches on science, graphic design and art while always delivering a striking aesthetic.
The Xogram Watch Face displays a unique visual for every moment of the day, based on 24 of Hugh Turvey's X-ray images. Looking at these sources through a kaleidoscopic lens gives new variations and movement to the pieces that spring to life whenever you activate the screen.
Choose between analog and digital displays, 12 or 24 hour, pick your favorite image or cycle them all throughout the day.
If you don't see the watch face appearing on your watch, hang tight. The watch face requires the latest version of Android Wear, which should be automatically updated on your watch over the next week.
Nails By Mei Watch Face
I honestly have no idea what I'm looking at. Just read the description.
--
Animated creations adapted from hand-drawn illustrations created by Japanese celebrity nail artist Mei Kawajiri (also known as "CiaoManhattan2012"). A series of 12 unique vignettes adds unexpected, playful style to your ordinary Android Wear watch.
BE@RBRICK WATCH FACE
This is a different take on the watch face. The colored bars indicate the potition of the hands, but there's a digital face in the center too. The entire shape moves around in response to the accelerometer, and you can check the date by shaking your wrist. That causes BE@RBRICK to pop up with the date. it's weird.
--
This watch face lights up with the familiar "at sign", making for a playful and bright design.
BE@RBRICK has collaborated with various artists, brands, companies, characters, etc...
and has gained many fans in the "Art Toy" world.
・3D/ Parallax effect
・Select time display from 12 hours/ 24 hours
・BE@RBRICK pops up to tell you the date with the shake-you-wrist date notification gimmick
If you don't see the watch face appearing on your watch, hang tight. The watch face requires the latest version of Android Wear, which should be automatically updated on your watch over the next week.
ustwo Watch Faces
This is ustwo's second pack of watch faces, which are also free. I actually like these ones a lot more than the "smart" faces. They have some killer design like the Invert face or Rift. Parallel is neat too, but kind of hard to read. Still, great stuff.
--
Download a huge collection of beautiful watch faces for free. While some faces might look familiar, others make you feel differently about time. Some even let you personalize to your style. There's sure to be something for everyone in this stunning watch face collection for Android Wear.

Plants vs. Zombiesâ„¢ Watch Face
I think this might be the only app EA has released that doesn't include in-app purchases or an up-front price. It's the proper kind of free. It's a simple Plants vs. Zombies analog watch like those Mickey Mouse ones from Disney, but with a zombie.
--
Whether you're time traveling through zombie-infested worlds in Plants vs. Zombies™, or just tending your garden of battle-ready plants, you'll know when it's “go†time with the Plants vs. Zombies Watch Face companion on your Android Wear device. There are no settings, though.

Shadow Clock Watch Face
I like this watch face in theory, but in practice it's really dim. The shadows don't provide enough definition to be easily read. Just my opinion, though.
--
Typographer and designer Craig Ward's unique Wear watch face uses shadows, light and tone along with custom designed numerals to reveal the time.
Taking inspiration from sundials, the face transitions from day into night with light and shadows shifting over the course of 24 hours.
Craig Ward, Creative Director of Fatale, is globally known for his pioneering typographic work under the Words Are Pictures moniker. This watch face is an experiment in taking his process-driven style into a brand new digital medium.
If you don't see the watch face appearing on your watch, hang tight. The watch face requires the latest version of Android Wear, which should be automatically updated on your watch over the next week.
