Bring your Pebble watch to life, with your photos featured in a super customizable watch face!

:framed_picture: All-New Watch Face Design
Features a completely revamped watch face - cleaner, more flexible, and more customizable than ever.

:window: Corner Complications
Assign information or icons to all 4 corners of your watch face for an at-a-glance view of what matters most to you.

:eight_o_clock: 8 Independent Info Slots
Choose from dozens of display options and configure each of the 8 information slots completely independently. Put exactly what you want, where you want it.

:sun_behind_cloud: Weather Data
Live weather right on your wrist: current temperature, feels-like, humidity, wind, UV index, precipitation, sunrise/sunset times, and more.

:battery: Battery at a Glance
Monitor your phone battery, watch battery, and connected Bluetooth device (ex: headphones) battery all from your watch face.

:artist_palette: Fully Customizable
• Customize the Top, Middle and Bottom information sections: choose what information appears and where
• Set each section’s visibility behavior: Always, On Wrist Flick, or Never
• Display Pebble Health data including steps, distance, sleep, and active time
• Toggle between Metric and Imperial units
• Change date format
• Enable text shadow or background styling for improved readability

:world_map: Multi-Language Support
The watch face supports the same languages as Pebble OS (I will be working on translating the companion app over time)

:repeat_button: Automatic Image Rotation
Set the perfect interval for rotating photos. Choose sequential, random order, or no rotation (stay on one image).

:vibration_mode: Shake-to-Refresh on the Watch
Shake your Pebble to instantly request a new image and reset the rotation timer.

:free_button:Give it a try
When installing Face Boss, all customizations and information display options are available with the included sample images. Please enjoy it for as long as you’d like!

:gem_stone: Premium Features (Unlock Required)
To manage (drag-and-drop editor), send, reorder and use your own photos you can choose one of the unlock options:
• One time permanent unlock, or
• Ongoing Support in the Music Boss Deluxe app (a small monthly tip jar that unlocks all my apps) (musicboss.ca/ongoingsupport for details)

:watch: Watch Compatibility
Works with Pebble Time, Pebble Time Steel, Pebble Time Round, Pebble 2, Pebble 2 Duo, Pebble Time 2, and Pebble Round 2.

Paid for the premium version and created a custom watchface with Date, Time and my initials in the center. Easy to use.

Thanks for sharing your feedback! It makes me happy that you’ve found the app useful and easy to use. It’s pretty cool that others get to enjoy the things I create.

Now it would be great if when I enable Quiet Time, the Top Information would display QUIET TIME. Also, a loss of Bluetooth would display DISCONNECTED. Or whatever is easiest for you.

I’ll have to look into the ability to detect quiet time.

Good news about the connection status, there’s already a Bluetooth disconnected icon on the current build.

Yes, BT icon is displayed at the top, left. Forget what I suggested about displaying QUIET TIME. A simple, maybe red, icon could be displayed at the top, right.
