As of July 10, 2024, watch faces must use the Watch Face Format in order to be installed on new watches that launch with Wear OS 5 pre-installed. Learn more about the user-facing changes in this Help Center article.
Additionally, starting in early 2025 (specific date to be announced during Q4 2024), all new watch faces published on Google Play must use the Watch Face Format.
Self-tag watch faces
Stay organized with collections
Save and categorize content based on your preferences.
When submitting watch faces, choose tags from the available categories that best
describe your watch face. Tagging allows users to more readily discover your
watch face, as it places the watch face in the right context and associates it
with the right category. Accurate self-tagging provides a helpful experience to
users and improves your watch face discoverability.
After submitting your watch face, navigate to Settings and select
Manage Tags. Then, select the most suitable tags for your watch face from a
drop down list of categories. If suitable, you can choose multiple tags, as
shown in the following image.
If tags are missing or are inaccurate, the watch face publishing process might
be blocked or delayed until the issue is addressed. Please ensure accuracy in
your self-tagged information.
