TL;DR
Facer has rolled out a major redesign of its watch face store on Android and iOS.
The updated storefront sorts faces into easy-to-find categories, with distinct visuals.
Facer is also onboarding new franchise partners, including Timex, Sonic, and Angry Birds.
According to Facer, the updated interface makes it much easier to access popular watch faces and find the ones that suit you best. It adds new tabs at the top to access faces curated for you, those made through official brand partnerships, and those separated by activity or sport. Another section is dedicated to watch faces created by independent designers, grouped under “Facer Originals.” However, to qualify, creators must apply to a specific program and refrain from making their designs available through other sources, such as the Play Store.

Older UI (left most) vs. new UI
The redesigned interface also adds a dedicated Entertainment page with options for popular franchises such as Pac-Man, Fallout, Star Wars, Tetris, and more. Along with that, Facer will add new dials to its existing collection inspired by popular watchmakers. While it already offers a slew of options from brands such as Formex, Thomas Earnshaw, Tockr, and several others, Facer will soon add the more household brand Timex, with a range of faces resembling icons such as Marlin, Expedition, and T80.
In addition, it has announced new partnerships with Angry Birds and Sonic, and will bring watch faces from these IPs soon. It has set fall as the season to release watch faces from Timex and these mentioned properties, but that’s as specific as it gets.
