The popular customization platform wants your watch face to be heard as well as seen
Facer has officially launched Face Chime, a new feature that adds a custom audio layer to its massive library of smartwatch faces.
Available from today on Wear OS 6 watches, the feature lets watch faces play a bespoke sound at the top of the hour. Rather than a generic system beep, designers can now integrate branded audio effects that align with the visual design’s theme.
To showcase the new capabilities, Facer has also released Pip-Boy 3.0, an officially licensed update to its popular ‘Fallout’ watch face.
The new version features custom hourly chimes, improved animations, and expanded customization options. Facer also quietly dropped an Apple Watch Ultra version of the Pip-Boy face alongside the update.
Facer has confirmed that Face Chime is also opt-in and adheres to your watch’s system settings. So, if your device is in Do Not Disturb, Theater Mode, or Sleep Mode, the chimes will remain silent. Handy.

This rollout follows a significant rebuilding period for the platform. Last year, Facer announced a major overhaul to align with Wear OS 6 and Google’s new ‘Watch Face Push’ capability, following compatibility hurdles introduced by earlier platform updates.
With those foundational issues resolved, the company appears to be shifting its focus back to creative features. And we’d expect more to arrive throughout 2026.
Again, Face Chime is available now for Facer users on Wear OS 6, with support for additional platforms expected soon.
