Facer is one of the largest watch face platforms for Apple Watch, Wear OS, and Tizen-based smartwatches, developed by Los Angeles-based Little Labs, Inc.[1][2][3] It allows users to select from over 500,000 premade watch faces or create custom designs through its web-based editor.[2]
Overview
[edit]Facer was launched in 2015 as a platform for Android and Wear OS smartwatches.[4] In March 2016, the platform expanded to support iOS and Apple Watch.[5][6] The service gained popularity for providing users with a large selection of watch faces, both from independent designers and branded partnerships. Facer has licensing agreements with brands, such as Star Trek, Fallout, US Air Force, Atari, Barbie, DOOM, Dungeons and Dragons, U.S. Space Force, Tetris, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more.[7][8]
The platform supports all major smartwatches, including Wear OS, watchOS and Tizen.[9] Facer hosts a library of over 500,000 watch faces designed by more than 50,000 creators.[1] The platform allows users to browse and download a wide variety of designs themed around various genres and styles.[10][11] Users can access the platform for free, though some premium watch faces require in-app purchases.[12][10][3] Facer also allows users interested in designing to create their own watch faces through its web-based editor, Facer Creator.[5][10][10]
