The latest version of Android Wear is here and now many of the platform’s existing apps are updating to take advantage of its features. Prior to today’s arrival of the Watch Face API, Facer was (and still is) the go-to for custom watch faces. The Watch Face API actually allows Facer to be more powerful while using less battery because it does not have to perform any workarounds. Everything it needs is directly accessible. The Facer app has been overhauled to sport Material Design and it is absolutely beautiful. To celebrate the update, Facer is giving all users a free watch face called “Smooth Sailing” that proves what can be done with the new version of Android Wear.
We should tell you that the update will not be of any use if your Android Wear device does not have the latest version; therefore, refrain from updating Facer until then. I updated Facer this morning, not realizing what would happen, and now the app has disappeared from my LG G Watch. Now I must wait until the G Watch gets the Android Wear update.
