Coming Soon to Wear OS

Simple Watch Face is currently in active development. The features listed below represent the planned scope.

Planned Features

  • Show large system-aware 12/24-hour digital time on an AMOLED-black background
  • Provide optional day/date, six accent colors, and an optional outer accent ring
  • Expose three customizable circular complication slots with step count, unread notifications, and watch battery defaults where supported
  • Support SHORT_TEXT, MONOCHROMATIC_IMAGE, and EMPTY complication states
  • Use an aggressively simplified ambient mode and no runtime permissions, networking, or app-owned background work
  • Follow a resource-only Watch Face Format package model with minSdk 33, targetSdk 35, compileSdk 36, AGP 9.3.1, Gradle 9.7.0, and JDK 17+
  • Current repository guidance still requires WFF XML/memory validation, debug/release bundle verification, and small/large round Wear OS testing before the rebuilt version is treated as release-qualified

Frequently asked questions

Does Simple Watch Face need network or runtime permissions?

No. The current repository describes a resource-only Watch Face Format application with no runtime permissions, networking, or app-owned background work.

What can I customize?

The current design includes optional date, six accent colors, an optional outer accent ring, and three user-configurable complication slots.

Why is this page marked in development?

The repository preserves an existing package identity, but current source still documents WFF validation, release-bundle, and device-test gates. The site therefore does not claim that this rebuilt version is currently rolled out on Google Play.
