Ahead of the official release of the Google Pixel Watch 3 next month, you can now customize your current Wear OS smartwatch to resemble it using a sideloading APK. The upcoming Pixel Watch 3 is set to feature a larger display, improved components, and new watch faces.
To get started, download the latest Google Pixel Watch Faces APK (v3.0.119.647124927) from APKMirror. Install the APK on your watch, not your phone, as explained by Android Police.
Feedback on Reddit confirms the APK works, allowing users to enjoy the new watch faces on existing watches like the OnePlus Watch 2R and earlier Pixel Watches. If you prefer to wait, Google will eventually release the new watch faces to the public, similar to their timeline with the Pixel Watch 2 last year.
The Pixel Watch 3 is available for preorder now, with an official release date of September 10. It was announced at the recent Made by Google event alongside other new Pixel devices.
The APK is compatible with both Wear OS 4 and Wear OS 5 watches, regardless of the fact that the Pixel Watch 3 runs on Wear OS 5. For guidance on sideloading the watch faces, refer to this guide.
