Best place to look for watch faces?

I have been trying out the various popular android wear watch face apps. Most of them don't recognize the 2015 model yet as a selection, meaning the 360 v1 is the selectable option. This generally means that most of the nicer looking watch faces are fairly blurry on this new higher res screen.

On popular apps such as facer or watchmaker, the faces don't fit right at all.

Sometimes I may get lucky but this has overwhelmingly been an exercise in frustration. The main issue seems to be that many artists use textures/images for their art, rather than scalable graphics. These are made in mind for lower res 360 v1.

TLDR: Is there some central place I can look for v2 2015 compatible higher res watch faces?

I bought the pro version of WatchMaker and have been having a blast with them and my 360 Gen2. Everyone has worked perfect. Maybe try a few more. I just wish they watch would sleep less so I can look at them longer. lol

Strange. I purchased WatchMaker Pro and it never synced with my 360 Gen 2. I waited an hour to see if it would pop up and it never did so I rebooted my phone and my watch. Never showed so I got a refund.

I have literally changed my watch face at least 100 times in the last day trying to figure out what look I like the best. I've downloaded WatchMaker Pro and downloading faces at facerepo.com they have a ton of awesome faces.

That's a big part of the fun and appeal (for me) of these watches. There are very few for my Samsung Gear S....and most of them look like child's work.

My favorite thing to do when people ask "Is that an Apple watch?"...I like to tell them, "No; it's not. Apple doesn't allow you to choose from thousands of watch faces like this..."...then show them my 4 color-changing Breitling using Watchmaker Premium, then switch to Facer and show them an Omega Speedmaster, etc.

Can't wait to get my watch tomorrow and start playing with it! Sounds like Watchmaker pro is the way to go, although there's plenty of other good choices too.

Time to go to sleep is configurable. Settings->Watch->Time to Stay Awake

Where is this? I'm looking in the Android Wear app and in the settings on my watch and not finding it.

It is in the watchmaker app and you have to be using a watchmaker watch face for it to work properly.

I 100% agree with using watchmaker, www.facerepo.com is a good spot to hunt for new, interesting watch faces to go with watchmaker as well.

Also, don't forget two things.

You can only send one watchmaker face at a time.

Most of the faces I have seen may look great when the watch is on, but the ambient faces look awful or worse, they don't show the updated time at all.

The black and white ambient version is just as important depending on how you use your watch!

You can easily change what is displayed while dimmed and how it looks in the customization in WatchMaker. You can add color and even have the hand move to keep the correct time. Just go to display and change from "bright" to "alway" and it will be displayed while dimmed, then you can select the color you want while dimmed.


Edit: here's a video showing how to customize.

I downloaded watchmaker pro from amazon and been busy downloading watch faces from facerepo. I love the different designs available.
