Watch Faces
Nautilus Watchface
I have been using the Nautilus Watchface for a little while now I must say I am impressed with how it looks. The center of the face is spiraled like a nautilus shell, and it has plenty of different color combos that you can choose from to customize it to your liking. It's a minimal face, so there aren't any Complication zones. But overall it is a sleek looking face that is great for a night out on the town.

Watchface inspired by the sheer beauty of a nautilus shell. Browse through multiple presets to find the one that matches your style best or create your own. Every visual element is customizable - fine tune colors and shading as desired.
Terminal Watch Face
Terminal Watch Face is probably my favorite face in the list today thanks to its old-school text-based terminal look. What's nice is that you are not limited to just a terminal design as there are a plethora of other themes to choose from including faces that mimic the colors of dos, console, and powershell. If you are looking for a minimal watch face with some nerd credibility behind it, Terminal Watch Face is a perfect choice.
Monetization: $0.99 / no ads / no IAPs | Android Wear 2.0: yes
Terminal Watch Face will transform your smartwatch to the console part of your PC. Very nerdy look for your smartwatch. Ambient mode supported. Round and square watches supported. Different themes included:
- terminal
Flat Watch Face
The Flat Watch Face uses a very stylish design that not only looks original but offers a hidden battery level that appears when you tap on the face. There doesn't appear to be any areas for Complications, but this seems more like a minimal face than something that is useful for a ton of information.
Monetization: $0.99 / no ads / no IAPs | Android Wear 2.0: yes
This is very simple and beautiful watch face for your android wear smartwatch. Watch face supports round and square watches. Build in ambient mode. Tap on the screen will show you smartwatch battery level. Themes included.
Elegant Watchface
If you are looking for a basic analog face for your smartwatch, then you may want to take a look at the Elegant Watchface. It has a black background, white hands and number notches and a red second hand. You can't get more basic than this, which is why I appreciate the face. It's a no frills no nonsense face that actually looks pretty appealing. Too bad it doesn't support AW 2.0.
Monetization: $0.99 / no ads / no IAPs | Android Wear 2.0: no
The watch face was inspired by modern watch faces. A date is provided elegantly, and it still saves battery. There is nothing left to say. Enjoy this simple, modern, elegant watch face.
Paper Watch Face
Paper Watch Face uses a simple design of crudely drawn numbers and hands superimposed on top of what looks like a crumpled piece of paper. Sadly it only supports a few of the earlier Wear watches, so it has limited compatibility. If you happen to own a watch that supports the face the design is minimal and stays out of the way, which gets the job done if you only need your face to tell you the time.
Monetization: $0.99 / no ads / no IAPs | Android Wear 2.0: no
Handmade analog watch face with vintage-looking animation. Graphic design by Bartosz Matynia. Supported smartwatches: LG G Watch R, LG G Watch, Motorola Moto 360, Sony SmartWatch 3, Asus ZenWatch, Samsung Gear Live.
Snowfall Watch Face
The Snowfall Watch Face is obviously designed around a wintery Christmas theme. You can choose from a digital face as well as analog hands, which is nice. It can also be changed from a daytime background to nighttime, and you can even set how much snow falls in the background.
Monetization: $0.99 / no ads / no IAPs | Android Wear 2.0: yes
Dress up your Wear device with a wintertime watch face featuring gently falling snow. Watch the light change based on the current time, and adjust settings to control the quantity and behavior of the snow. See the northern lights in the sky. Enable Christmas Lights to celebrate the season, and watch for the occasional Santa Clause.
Material Style Watchface
The Material Style Watchface is perfect for those of you looking for a face that matches with the material design used in the apps on your phone. It is simple in design with 3 styles of faces to choose from and 3 Complication zones that sit along the bottom edge. Oh, and there are 15 colors to choose from that should match a variety of Material Design colors.

WatchPipBoy
In the Fallout series of games a Pip-Boy is worn on the arm, and so too is a watch in real life. So theming a watch to look like a Pip-Boy makes a lot of sense. That is why it's no surprise to see WatchPipBoy available on the Play Store. There are a few different themes to choose from, each with their own color styling. Plus you can switch from a digital face to analog hands, depending on your personal preference.

Hæsh Watch Face Supreme Dashboard System
The Hæsh Watch Face is like the Swiss Army knife of watch faces. Not only can you track your calendar events and the weather, but you can also keep tabs on current cryptocurrency prices. There are two themes to choose from, light and dark, and you can also add a shortcut to a Complication of your choosing. When you consider that most of the features you would use your Complications for are already built in, the limited Complication area isn't really all that much of a deterrent.

The NFL Watch Face is just that, an NFL-themed watch face for Android Wear. It supports all 32 NFL franchises, so you shouldn't have any trouble theming your face with your favorite team's logo. This will sadly come at a cost because the face is priced at $11.99, which seems to be a bit much just to wear some brand on your wrist.

Royal Steel Watch Face
To me, the Royal Steel Watch Face looks a little cluttered. With 3 different dials covering the face it can be difficult to read, especially with hands that are the same color as those dials. The theme is similar to a divers watch, and it has a few different accent colors you can choose from. Oh, and reviews have mentioned that the step counter isn't working, so make sure to consider that before you unlock all of the features through an in-app purchase.

SKAGEN Watch Faces
Just like the above face, the SKAGEN Watch Faces release is only intended for a specific device. This seems to be par for the course when it comes to any brand tied to Fossil. While it is convenient that the face is on the Play Store guaranteeing easy updates, it still kind of sucks that it can't be used on any other device.
