Ever wished changing your smartwatch’s look was less complicated?

A hidden gem in the Play Store code suggests Google is about to make it easier than ever to switch up your style.

Currently, Wear OS users have to jump through a few hoops to change their watch faces, either directly on the watch or via a companion app. While the Play Store already allows new watch faces to activate upon installation, the process isn’t exactly smooth.

But now, a newly discovered feature promises to change all that.

Hidden in the Play Store code is a new "Set as watch face" button that makes managing designs simple and intuitive.

Want to save multiple designs for different moods or occasions? No problem.

With this feature, you’ll be able to store and manually activate watch faces whenever it suits you—no clunky workarounds required.

This update isn’t just about convenience—it’s about putting control back in the hands of users.

Here’s what it means:

  • Ultimate Flexibility: Save your favorite designs and switch them up later without hassle.

  • Effortless Planning: Choose your look for the day even if your smartwatch is on the charger.

  • Streamlined Experience: Experiment with styles without the frustration of fiddling with settings.

This was reported by the media outlet Giga.

When Will It Be Available?

While Google hasn’t officially announced the feature, its presence in the Play Store code hints it’s on the way.

The exact launch date remains a mystery, but the update is a clear sign of Google’s commitment to enhancing the Wear OS experience.
