It’s all too common to see negativity about Google’s Wear OS platform out there, in quite a lot of cases for good reason. If there’s one thing Google got right, though, it’s the watchfaces that have grown to a huge library over the years. Now, the popular Facer app which has its own catalog of watchfaces is coming pre-loaded on Fossil smartwatches.

Facer has been around for a few years at this point and, in that time, amassed over 100,000 watchfaces that work on Wear OS smartwatches and Samsung’s Galaxy watches as well. It’s a popular service, and now it’s being added as a standard part of Fossil’s latest watches.

In a blog post this week, Facer confirmed the partnership with Fossil that sees the app pre-loaded on all Fossil Gen 5 and Gen 5E smartwatches. The app comes with a 30-day trial to Facer Premium and, of course, access to the app’s thousands of watchfaces. Fossil is also assisting with a special section of the Facer store which highlights faces that are ideal for Gen 5/Gen 5E devices.

We are excited to share that starting this week Facer will come pre-installed on all new Fossil Gen 5 and Gen 5E smartwatches!

As part of this partnership, Fossil Gen 5 smartwatch users will get the following benefits:

Direct access to Facer and its catalog of over 100,000 watch faces. You are ready to go as soon as you unbox your device! There is no need to install a separate app.

Thousands of fresh new watch faces added and available every month.

A regularly updated selection of watch faces curated by the Fossil and Facer teams that are ideal for the Fossil Gen 5 devices.

30 day free trial to Facer Premium, giving users instant access to all premium faces in our catalog, including amazing designs with Star Trek, NASA, US Air Force, Garfield, and more!

… and all the other features of the Facer platform, including access to the Facer Creator to design and publish your own faces, top charts, follow your favorite designers, and more!
