Okay, you may have noticed that it has been quite a while since the last Android Wear Roundup. The good news is that I am here to take the reins and get this thing going again. Since it has been such a long while, there are quite a few items to go through. This is why I have split the post into two separate pages, as it was way too long for a single page. Rest assured, I will be making sure this Roundup has more of a regular schedule in the future. But hey, enough of that nonsense, let's dig into a super long list of Android Wear apps and faces!

Wear Apps

Google Slides

Android Police coverage: Google Slides now supports using Android Wear to control presentations [APK Download]

Since September of last year, Google Slides has allowed Android Wear control of presentations. This means you no longer have to rely on using your phone or laptop in order to control your presentation easily. Just load up Google Slides on you Android Wear, and you can switch to your next slide with ease.

Wear dialer (by HuskyDEV)

Android Police coverage: Wear Dialer for Android Wear lets you place calls from your wrist

Wear dialer is a nifty little tool that not only allows you to make calls with your Android Wear watch, (as long as a speaker and microphone are built in) but you also have access to a dialer, recent call list, and your contacts. While these are features that are integrated with Wear devices that contain the proper hardware, those that do not will have Wear dialer as an option.

Weather for Android Wear

Weather for Android Wear is a minimal looking weather app from appfour. While it looks a lot like the weather forecasts provided in Google News & Weather for your phone, it actually offers a lot more information and just so happens to work on your watch. So if you are looking for a new weather app for Android Wear that contains a lot of detailed information, Weather for Android Wear is a solid choice.

Aqualert:Water Tracker Intake&Reminder Google Fit

Drinking the correct amount of water daily can often be a challenge for some people. That is why Aqualert:Water Tracker Intake Reminder Google Fit is a pretty good idea for those that often fall short of their mark. This way you will have a constant reminder on your wrist to alert you of when you need to drink your next glass.

Watch Faces

TIMECRAFT - Watch Face

Android Police coverage: Timecraft is a cool Minecraft-inspired Android Wear watch face by Tha PHLASH

There is no arguing with the popularity of Minecraft. It has taken hold of our youth, and there appears to be no stopping it. So why not embrace the game and theme your watch with TIMECRAFT - Watch Face to suit your new desire? Sure, the pixel graphics may not be to everyone's liking, but the support for Android Wear 2.0 features and its widget-like complications is a nice addition.

Dinosaur Watch Faces

I know that Dinosaur Watch Faces is Corbin's favorite Wear face, but I also happen to enjoy the design of this face as well. Sure, it may not contain any Android Wear 2.0 features, but it is free, and there are no in-app purchases. So why not take it out for a test run, as you will be hard pressed to find any other dinosaur faces that will easily match your dinosaur bed sheets.

Looks Android Wear Watch Faces

Looks Android Wear Watch Faces offers quite a few stylish faces that all support Android Wear 2.0 features. Considering that there are numerous designs in this package, no matter your taste, there should be something here that appeals to you. And better yet, Looks Android Wear Watch Faces is completely free and supports both square and round faces seamlessly.

Fall Fashion Watch Faces

Before you know it, Fall is going to be right around the corner. So why not try out Fall Fashion Watch Faces in order to see if they are to your liking. While these faces do not support Android Wear 2.0 features, they are free and do not contain any in-app purchases. In total you have five different faces to choose from in this collection, so there should be something that appeals to most people.

Funky Machine Watch Face

If you are looking for a face that looks a bit different from the rest, Funky Machine Watch Face may just be what you are looking for. It supports all Android Wear watches out right now, which means it will fit on both square and round faces. Sadly there is no support for Android Wear 2.0 features, but the face collection is completely free, so it does have that going for it.

Glow by Stephanie Carls

Glow by Stephanie Carls is a pretty simple watch face, but it does have some subtle style to it. You can control the colors of the face as well as the text that tells you the time through a complimentary smartphone app. Something to keep in mind is that there are advertisements contained within this smartphone app, and they can not be removed as there are no in-app purchases. There is also no support for Android Wear 2.0 features.

Half Watch Face

Half Watch Face supports both square and round watch faces, and looks good doing it. While it does not have Android Wear 2.0 feature support (though it does work on both Wear 1.0 and 2.0), the minimal look of the face lends itself well to no clutter. You can grab Half Watch Face for $0.99, and there are no advertisements or in-app purchases included with the download.

Native Ink - Tattoo Watch Face

Tattoos have become a cultural norm, at least in the West. So why not add a tattoo to your watch face with Native Ink - Tattoo Watch Face. You have two designs to choose from, a butterfly and a pierced heart. Each design will allow you to customize its background color. If that sounds good to you, then you can install Native Ink - Tattoo Watch Face for the low price of $1.49. While it does not support Android Wear 2.0 features, there are no advertisements or in-app purchases included with the download.

Magnum Watch Face

First I would like to point out that Magnum Watch Face does not support square watch faces. The good news is that this does support Android 2.0 features. It is also worth pointing out that the clock face numbers can be difficult to read, as they are pretty small. Luckily there is a digital readout of the time included in the face, so it should not be too much of an issue. Magnum Watch Face is available for $1.49, and there are no advertisements or in-app purchases.

Spin the Bottle - Watch Face

Sure, it may be a little early to think about the holiday season, but who cares when Spin the Bottle - Watch Face looks so festive. Essentially the face has three themes, one with a present, one with a bottle of champagne, and one with a Christmas stocking. It supports both round and square watch faces as well as Android Wear 2.0 features. You can pick up Spin the Bottle - Watch Face for $1.49, and there are no advertisements or in-app purchases included with that acquisition.

Chromatic Watch Face

Chromatic Watch Face looks like your everyday diver face design, but it has a few tricks up its sleeve with support for weather forecasts, Google Fit stats, and a full ambient mode. You even have four different colors to choose from for your face's hands. It also has support for Google Wear 2.0 features so that you can customize it to your liking. Thankfully there are no advertisements or in-app purchases included with Chromatic Watch Face as you can buy it outright for $1.49.

2Elegant Watch Face

If you are a fan of how Citizen watch faces look, then you should enjoy 2Elegant Watch Face. It includes support for Android Wear 2.0 features and fits on both square and round faces. You can also customize the color of the face to you liking, as there is a color chooser in the settings of the external application. You can grab 2Elegant Watch Face for $1.49, and there are no advertisements or in-app purchases included with that purchase.

WONDER - Watch Face

With the recent release and widely acclaimed reception of the Wonder Woman movieWONDER - Watch Face should be a pretty popular choice. While it does not support any Android Wear 2.0 features, it does have a slick design and supports both square and round faces. WONDER - Watch Face is available for $1.99, and the download does not include any supervillainous advertisements or in-app purchases.

Nature Gradients Watch Face

Nature Gradients Watch Face gives you exactly what the name implies, gradient watch faces. There are over 25 gradients to choose from, and the face includes support for Android Wear 2.0 features. If you are looking for something simple yet customizable, Nature Gradients Watch Face should work for you pretty well. Just keep in mind that it does cost $1.99. Luckily there are no advertisements or in-app purchases included with that cost.

FORGIVEN - Watch Face

Anyone familiar with the Marvel character Punisher should recognize the symbol used in the FORGIVEN - Watch Face. There is no support for Android Wear 2.0 features, but the face will fit on both round and square watches. There are also a few options available, such as customizing the color in three different places as well as an option to turn numbers on and off. The FORGIVEN - Watch Face is available for $1.99, and there are no advertisements or in-app purchases.

Label 2 - Delicate Watch Face

The Label 2 - Delicate Watch Face is an elegant looking face with a very minimal design. It works on both square and round faces, but there is no support for Google Wear 2.0 features. It does, however, support a battery life indicator and a step counter. If you are looking for something simple, then Label 2 - Delicate Watch Face is a solid choice that costs $1.99 and has no advertisements or in-app purchases included with the download.

Transformers The Last Watch Face

If you are into Transformers and are looking for a flashy design with a really neat wake animation, then Transformers The Last Watch Face is a perfect choice. While it has not been updated to support any Google Wear 2.0 features, it does fit on both square and round watch faces. There are 5 themes total, with 2 Autobot, 2 Decepticon, and 1 Dinobot theme, each with their own wake animation. Transformers The Last Watch Face is available for $1.99, and there are no advertisements or in-app purchases included.

Tha INTERNATIONAL - Watch face

INTERNATIONAL - Watch face is a modern looking face that has both analog and digital readouts for the time. It works with Android Wear 2.0 features but does not support anything below 2.0. This means you will need a watch that is fully up to date in order to use it. You can purchase INTERNATIONAL - Watch face for $1.99, and there are no advertisements or in-app purchases.

I CHING - Watch Face

The I CHING - Watch Face has an attractive design that uses hexagons on its outer edge and gives you the ability to change colors of the face's background. While it does not support Android Wear 2.0 features, it does support both square and round watch faces. You can pick up the I CHING - Watch Face for $1.99, and it does not include any advertisements or in-app purchases.

I have to admit, the NAVI2 - Watch face & Icon Pack is something a bit different. While the watch face itself supports Android Wear 2.0 features and is pretty customizable, the draw for me is the fact that this also contains an icon pack for your phone or tablet. Why these two things are combined into one package, I am unsure, but it is a nifty idea all the same. The NAVI2 - Watch face & Icon Pack is available for $1.99, but it also contains in-app purchases that range up to $0.99 per item.

RWRK Watch Face

For a minimal design, the RWRK Watch Face looks pretty slick. It comes with three separate themes, with the light theme standing out with its two-tone look. And if you do not like the forced label at the top of the face, you can customize the word listed to your liking. While there is no support for Android Wear 2.0 features, it does support square and round faces. You can pick up the RWRK Watch Face for $1.99, though there are in-app purchases that range up to $0.99 per item.

Delta Watch Face

If you like a lot of data on your screen, then you should love the Delta Watch Face. Not only can you customize the colors of the face's accents, but you can also customize the layout to your liking thanks to the Android Wear 2.0 feature support. If that sounds good to you, then you can grab the Delta Watch Face for $1.99. Just keep in mind that there are advertisements in the companion app as well as in-app purchases that range up to $1.49 per item.

SmartDrive Watch Face

The SmartDrive Watch Face is a unique looking face that has animated time movements on both sides of the watch. The left will move along with hours, while the right will move for seconds. This gives the face a cool look that is different from the majority of faces available on the Play Store. While it does not support any Android Wear 2.0 features, it does fit on both square and round faces. Sadly there are advertisements included with the companion app as well as in-app purchases that range up to $1.49 per item.

Digital Vision Watch Face

When I first saw the Digital Vision Watch Face, I immediately thought of an old Timex watch I used to have. The entire display of this watch is designed to look like an old school digital watch, and it is pretty convincing. It includes Android Wear 2.0 feature support as well as fits on both square and round faces. You can grab the Digital Vision Watch Face for $1.99, but keep in mind that there are advertisements in the companion app as well as in-app purchases that range up to $1.49 per item.

Fury Watch Face

The Fury Watch Face is a good mix of digital and analog looks that keeps everything appearing as though it is a very modern design. If I had to compare it to anything, I would say it is similar to some Nixon designs I have owned. It supports Android Wear 2.0 features as well as square and round faces. The good news is that you can download this face for free, though it does contain advertisements and in-app purchases that range up to $1.49 per item.

N-touch Watch Face

The N-touch Watch Face is another familiar design that mixes both analog and digital designs. It allows for some customizations to color and has support for Android Wear 2.0 features. While the look is nothing that jumps out at you, you can easily try the face out for free thanks to it being free to use. Just keep in mind that there are advertisements in the companion app as well as in-app purchases that range up to $1.49 per item.

Guardian Watch Face

Here we go, this Guardian Watch Face has all the elegant looks you could ever need. There are 30 backgrounds to choose from, giving the user plenty of customization options. It does support Android Wear 2.0 features as well as square and round faces. While many of the features are locked behind in-app purchases that range up to $9.99 per item, you can easily try the Guardian Watch Face for free, in order to see if it is to your liking.

Info Watch Face

I am guessing that the Info Watch Face was a lot more useful before Android Wear 2.0 came out, as it has a built-in app launcher in the face of the watch. The good thing is that it can still be useful, as you can just tap on the icon instead of swiping into your Wear 2.0 drawer. Thankfully it does support Wear 2.0 features as well as square and round faces. You can grab the Info Watch Face for free, though there are advertisements in the companion app along with in-app purchases that range up to $9.99 per item.

Master Watch Face

The Master Watch Face has a very distinctive look thanks to the bar that travels across the screen that holds your date, weather, and time. It is compatible with Android Wear 2.0 features and works with both square and round faces. You also have a few color combinations that allow you some customization in the looks department. While the Master Watch Face is available for free, the companion app does contain advertisements, and there are in-app purchases that range up to $9.99 per item.

Photo Watch Face by HuskyDEV

I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone made a face that allowed you to import your own photos to the face background. Honestly, it is an excellent idea and the Photo Watch Face by HuskyDEV has implemented it perfectly. It does support Android Wear 2.0 and all of its features, so that does mean it will fit on both square and round faces. Just keep in mind that this is a freemium app that contains advertisements and locks many of its features behind in-app purchases that range up to $9.99 per item.

Racing Watch Face

I am guessing that the Racing Watch Face is named this way thanks to the font used for the time. You can choose the colors of your design, and there is support for Android Wear 2.0 and all of its features. If you are looking for something that looks simple but packs a lot of features, then the Racing Watch Face is a pretty good option. Sadly it does contain in-app purchases that range up to $9.99 per item, which will be used to unlock many of those features.

Octane Watch Face

The Octane Watch Face uses a simple design of analog and digital. It allows for color customization for both the backgrounds of the digital and analog areas. Luckily it supports Android Wear 2.0 features and customizing the three areas where complications go, as well as square and round faces. While many of the features are locked behind in-app purchases that range up to $9.99 per item, you can easily try the Octane Watch Face for free, in order to see if it is to your liking.

Swift Watch Face

Last but not least we have the Swift Watch Face. It has a sports watch look to it that has three complications areas on the left side of the screen. That, of course, means it supports Android Wear 2.0 features, as well as square and round faces. You even have a few color combinations to choose from, though many options will be locked behind a paywall thanks to this being a freemium app. If you do want to unlock some features, just remember that there are in-app purchases that range up to $9.99 per item.
