Classic

With a shortcut to the Fitbit app, Classic is a hardworking, attractive option.

The Classic Pixel Watch face is simply well, classic. An elevated, modern analog pick with customizable styles and colors, the watch face mirrors the sleek aesthetic of the device itself. It also offers room for four circular complications so you can add plenty of information to your screen. You can even opt to turn the second hand off if you want less movement.

Photos

Photos keeps all your favorite memories at-a-glance.

For a truly personal watch face, Photos supports up to 30 of your favorite snaps. This is a standard face available on most smartwatches, but that doesn’t make it any less appealing. It also allows for a single line-style complication. Just know that some photos tend to emphasize the device’s large bezels.

Concentric

Concentric highlights the round case shape of the device.

Arguably no design capitalizes more on the round form factor of the Pixel Watch than Concentric. With sections that turn independently of one another, the design is both mesmerizing and calming. This Pixel Watch face also allows room for three additional complications.

Shapes

A Google Pixel Watch displays the Shapes watch face.

An analog pick with a bit of quirky personality, Shapes is the most overtly “Google” native pick. The face is customizable by color scheme and can feature either 4 or 12 hours. Oddly, the shapes have nothing to do with the hours they represent (you might expect the three-sided triangle to be at the there spot, for example). Regardless, it is a fun, colorful watch face with room for one complication.

Prime

A modern font is the star of the Prime watch face.

Conversely, for those like words, Prime offers a unique, legible watch face. The oversized text in Google Sans makes an impression while also making the current time very obvious. It is minimalist, however, and the design only allows for only a single lin-style complication.

Track

The Track watch face displays a users daily step count.

One of our favorite Fitbit-forward picks, Track highlights your favorite health or fitness stat. Choose what data you want to keep an eye on and watch the “track” close throughout the day. The face offers an easy way to keep goals like step count at a glance. It also allows for one additional complication.

Pixel Watch faces from the Play Store

Beyond native picks, Google Pixel Watch users can also access thousands of third-party options through the Google Play Store.
