A New Chapter for Pujie Watch Faces: Ready for Wear OS 6 and Beyond!

Change is never easy, but it's often the gateway to something better. As Wear OS evolves, so must we — and we're excited to share what that means for Pujie Watch Faces.

What has changed?

With Wear OS 5 and 6, Google is introducing a new, stricter system for watch faces called the Watch Face Format (WFF). It's a completely different approach that reshapes how watch faces are built and what they can do. Embracing this new standard has required us to rethink, redesign, and reengineer large parts of our app.

From January 2026, Google will no longer allow the old style of watch faces to coexist with new WFF faces in the same app. To meet this requirement — and to serve all our users in the best possible way — we're splitting Pujie into two apps:

1. Pujie Watch Faces - Wear OS 6+.
   One for Wear OS 6+ watches, using the new Watch Face Format.
   Currently compatible with the Galaxy Watch 8 and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, but we expect the Galaxy Watch 7/Ultra and the Pixel Watch 3 to update to Wear OS 6 soon.

2. Pujie Watch Faces - Wear OS 4-.
   One for older Wear OS devices, which will continue to support legacy watches for the foreseable future*.

We've put in the work to ensure Pujie stays ahead of the curve — ready for the future of Wear OS, without compromising the creative freedom that makes our platform special. To help ease the transition — and to soften the impact of any potential double purchases — both versions of the app are currently available at a very attractive price.

*) After January 2026, Google does not allow any updates to apps containing legacy watch faces anymore.

What's Different — and What's Still Possible?

We won't pretend this transition comes without some changes. The Watch Face Format has certain limitations compared to what was possible in our old system. As a result, we had to reimagine parts of the designer and the overall experience.

Because Pujie Watch Faces now uses the Watch Face Format, we have access to the same quality fitness and weather data available to all official Wear OS watch faces — and that’s definitely a step up. On top of that, WFF is designed for efficiency, which means your watch faces now run in a way that’s more battery-friendly, helping your watch last longer throughout the day.

Some features, like additional views, extra time zones, certain data tags, tap automation, Tasker variables and parts of our JavaScript functionality, are no longer supported due to the new format’s restrictions. We know these were popular, and we wish we could keep them all — but we’re making the best of what’s possible.

The Best of Pujie, Still Intact

On the bright side, much of what you love about Pujie remains. Despite the changes introduced by the Watch Face Format, we’ve worked hard to preserve the core features that define the Pujie experience

In our new version you can still find the following features:

• An advanced, element-based design tool with vector graphic precision.

• An open community of watch face enthousiasts sharing their designs in our watch face library.

• Powerful coding with JavaScript (variables, global data, expressions)*

• SVGs, Images & Icons.

• Start Tasker tasks right from your wrist.

• Many build in tap actions, to keep your watch faces interactive.

• Flexible color automation.

• And more, check out the full change log here

*) The Watch Face Format, only supports general arithmetic operations by itself. In Pujie we managed to keep our JavaScript engine for automation. You can still use variables, and use many build in JavaScript methods, and the code is automatically converted to WFF expressions. Read more about this here.

Watch face conversion

Plus, our new app will automatically convert your existing watch faces to the new format. Some manual tweaks may be needed, but the app will guide you every step of the way, highlighting which elements need attention and how to fix them.

Looking Ahead?

This is a big shift, but we see it as an opportunity to build a stronger foundation for the future — one that keeps Pujie Watch Faces vibrant, relevant, and compatible with the next generation of smartwatches.

Stay tuned, stay inspired, and thank you for being part of our journey!
