How To Get Watch Faces From Google Pixel Watch On Any Wear OS 3 smartwatch

Last Updated on November 7, 2022 by Asif Iqbal Shaik

The Google Pixel Watch has been one of Google’s most sought-after hardware products. While there have been rumours of a Pixel Watch since 2017, Google has waited five years to release a Wear OS-powered watch. Along with the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro smartphones, Google also released the Pixel Watch, although only in a few countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Taiwan, the UK, and the US. Unfortunately, if you live outside of these countries and want to get a taste of the new Wear OS, you will have to opt for a smartwatch from another manufacturer.

Google supplied eighteen distinct watch faces, ranging from simple ones that only display the time to more intricate ones that display numerous parameters for tracking one’s health and fitness. Naturally, your first inclination will be to use your Wear OS 3 smartwatch to test out those watch faces. For this, we have you covered. The step-by-step instructions in the tutorial below will allow you to easily install these Pixel Watch-only watch faces on any Wear OS 3 smartwatch, such as the Galaxy Watch 4 or the Galaxy Watch 5.

Pixel Watch’s watch faces have been extracted and combined into an APK file that has to be installed on your Wear OS 3 smartwatch. Either the ADB approach or WiFi debugging can be used to install an APK. The ADB approach is the more time-consuming one and includes several commands that you must be cautious with. On the other hand, the wireless debugging approach is straightforward and requires little effort; and we will use it in this article.

Install Google Pixel Watch Watch Faces On Any Wear OS 3 Smartwatch

Two APK files are required before we can proceed: the first is the Pixel Watch watch faces APK, and the second is a wireless debugging app like Bugjaeger. Both files are free to download and can be downloaded from the link below.

1. Download the Pixel Watch watch faces APK

Follow the steps below to get the Pixel Watch watch faces on any Wear OS 3 smartwatch.

Step 6: Now make sure that your smartphone and the smartwatch are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 7: The next couple of steps are to be performed on your smartphone.

Step 8: On your phone, fire up the Bugjaeger app, and from there, connect the watch to your phone. For this, you need to enter the IP address being shown on the ADB settings of the Watch onto the Connect device option on the Bugjaeger app.
