Android dress code: wear what you want

Deciding what to wear is a really personal thing�it�s one of the ways you show people what you�re about. Wearable technology is no different, so Android Wear offers a wide selection of apps and watches to suit your taste. It�s about expressing who you are, however you want, right on your wrist.

Today there�s even more ways to show your style with Android Wear, including dozens of new watch faces (powered by an official Watch Face API), a full collection of devices on Google Play, and lots of other improvements based on your feedback. So try �em on for size, and let us know what you think.

Watch faces for whatever you�re into
Starting today you can download watch faces from Google Play, just like you do with apps. We�ve got dozens of examples to get you started�from the unpredictable Minions in Despicable Me to the X-Ray artistry of Hugh Turvey. And because the new Watch Face API is available to all developers, you can expect even more choices in the weeks and months ahead.

We�ve also updated the Android Wear app on your phone to make browsing, downloading, and switching watch faces really easy. So pick the one you like the best, or pick a new one every day.

(Both updates are rolling out over the next week, so don�t worry if you don�t see them yet.)

Examples of Android Wear watch faces

A family of watches to choose from
In only a few short months, the Android Wear collection has grown to include six unique watches�the ASUS ZenWatch, the LG G Watch, the LG G Watch R, the Moto 360, the Samsung Gear Live, and the Sony SmartWatch 3. Some are circular, others are square. Some are traditional, others are sporty. And that�s exactly the point. With different shapes and styles, it�s really easy to make your watch your own.

So by all means: wear what you want.
