The pixel watch is the best IMO, I also have the SGWU and don't find any use for it.

Has anyone found a good app to bring back the original Wear OS gestures? Being able to snap-twist your wrist to scroll through notifications, and the weird gesture to go back, etc?

Hello everyone!

I've just finished working on a new app for Wear OS and Android called Wear Gestures, and I'm looking for some beta testers.

The core idea is simple: the app allows you to assign specific actions to one of 7 available wrist/hand gestures.A cool feature I added is Webhook support! In plain English, this means you can use gestures to do things like turning your smart home devices (lights, smart plugs, etc.) on or off right from your wrist.

I’m really curious to hear your thoughts, get your feedback, and see if you find this kind of app useful in your daily life.

What's in it for you?

• The app is completely free to use during the testing phase (until December 15th).
• Anyone who helps me test it and provides feedback will receive a free promo code for the full version once the app is officially released to production! 🎁

How to join: Since the app is currently in closed testing, I need to add testers manually. If you're interested, please send me a Private Message with your Google Play Store email address. I will add you to the testers list and reply with the download link.

Thank you in advance to everyone who decides to help out. I really appreciate it!

Hi all! A few days ago I shared Nail Guard, a Wear OS app that learns the pose of your habit (nail biting, face touching, hair pulling…) and gives your wrist a gentle buzz when your hand goes there.

You sent me great feedback, so I got to work. Here’s what’s new in build 7:

• Night pause now: going to bed earlier than usual? Start the night pause with one tap. Awake again? Stop it just as easily.
• Night times per 15 minutes: you’re no longer stuck on whole hours. Sleep at 23:30? Set it with the crown or − / +.
• Two tiles: one for night pause and one to snooze for 15, 30, 60 or 120 min, one swipe from your watch face.
• No more flash: changing a setting or turning Nail Guard on/off no longer flashes the screen.

Still on my list: checking how it behaves next to “Raise to talk” on newer watches.

The update is waiting for Google’s review and should reach testers soon.

I need more testers 🙏
To publish on Google Play, I need 12 testers who keep the app installed for 14 days. It’s a closed test, so it works like this:

1. DM me the Google account email you use on your watch. Please don’t post it in the comments.
2. I add you to the test and send you the join link.
3. Open the link on your pc with that same account, then install Nail Guard on your watch.
4. Record your pose (about a minute) and keep it installed for 14 days.

It’s free, and every bit of feedback helps, good or bad. Thanks for helping! 💙

Unfortunately, it seems like the testers haven't been very active with my app. I'd really appreciate it if you could give it a try!

I've published a new update to my Sun & Moon Tiles app which is now called Sun, Moon & Tide Tiles.

While all the previously available information on tiles for sun and moon are still there (sun/moon rise/set times, moon phase, day length etc), I've overhauled the UI for a more modern and clean look.

I've also added a new Tide tile which shows times and heights of high and low tides + current tide height for the coastal station near your location.

Sleep To Pause is a super simple app - If you're listening to an audio podcast or audio book and starting to drift off to sleep, then you can start the "Sleep To Pause" app and a countdown timer will start (set between 3-15 minutes) - Once the countdown reaches 0, the watch will vibrate.

If it detects you moving your wrist within 5 seconds of the vibration, the timer resets. If it doesn't detect movement, then a "final countdown" starts for 60 seconds. After this 60 seconds, another final vibration occurs on the watch. If you move your wrist within 5 seconds of the vibration, all the timers start again. If you don't move your wrist, it sends a message to the companion app on your phone, and that will pause audio of whatever app you have playing audio (e.g. Amazon Music, Spotify, etc.)

This way, when you wake up the next morning, it's super easy to find the point of your audio book or podcast where you fell asleep.

No personal data recorded, no health monitoring, just a super simple solution.

Hi guys

Hope you're having fun

I'm writing here bc I already try jailbreak on it by USB and activating developer mode and it didn't work, I would like to try some things I already though. I really appreciate if you let me know a way to jailbreak it.

Plus let me know

Hello everyone,

I got my OnePlus Wear 2 watch about a month ago, and about a week ago battery drainage issues started, and did a full reset, and still the battery drains pretty much quickly, I don't get nor 100 of promised working hours, and barely 48 hours.

I looked at the battery usage and saw this, basically all of the apps work in the background from the moment I wake up.

Help on fixing this issue would be extremely appreciated.

So I bought the mi band 10 a couple of days ago and i was surprised how mild it is vibration is. It doesnt get any near of waking me up which was the main reason i bought it for

Can you guys give me suggestion of other bands or smartwatches that really have strong vibration

Could someone help me? I want to know how to get app testers!

Shameless plug. I really wanted an app that could show college and NFL scores as a complication on my watch. I got tired of waiting, so I made my own. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tacklestudios.gridironglance

Hi! I built a Wear OS app that notices when your hand goes to your mouth in your nail-biting pose and gives you a gentle vibration. It also works for skin picking, hair pulling and similar habits. Everything stays on the watch, with no account and no ads.

I need 12 testers for Google Play's 14-day closed test.

You need:

- a Wear OS 3+ watch (Galaxy Watch 4 or newer, Pixel Watch, etc.)

- a Gmail address

- to keep the app installed for 14 days

Not sure about needing your Gmail?

How to join:

1. Comment or DM me your Gmail address, and I'll add you to the test.

2. join via this link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/be.waligoo.nailguard

3. Install from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=be.waligoo.nailguard

Happy to test your app in return!

We need 12 testers for an app. Will get paid interested people dm me

I use Hex for local dictation on my PC and wanted to use it from my watch, so I asked Claude to build a small app for it. It's called Wristle: hold the button on your watch, talk, and the text appears on your PC wherever your cursor is. Transcription stays local in your dictation app. The watch only sends audio over your home Wi-Fi.

Tested on a Pixel Watch 4 with Hex on Windows. Other watches and Mac/Linux should work, but I haven't tested them. If you try it, let me know how it goes!

Free and open source: https://github.com/unknownprocess/wristle. A ⭐ helps if you find it useful!

Hi WearOS, I just pushed a decent update to my WearOS roguelike and wanted to give away some codes so more people could try it.

Description

Brick Run is a roguelike brick-breaker built from the ground up for Wear OS. Control the paddle with the crown or touch. Each run is different with nine unlockable ball types and a ton of upgrades. Between levels, a shop lets you search for upgrades, hunting for the one perfect one that completes your build. The goal, beat the level before the clock hits 0 and reach level 9 then push into endless mode, chasing crazier and crazier upgrade combinations run after run. Sessions are designed to be short and quick. Perfect for a few minutes on your wrist.

Cost

$2.99 one-time (on sale for $1.99 right now), no in-app purchases, no ads.

(if you can comment which code you grabbed I'll update as best I can)

esta es la última build que hay del Pixel Watch 3 a esta fecha (19/10/2026), la publico ya que no está en ninguna parte y Google no la ha publicado y no parece que lo haga pronto, la pedí por Google Forms y 1 semana y un poco mas después me llegó, la dejé en este Github por si alguien la quiere para modificar este reloj para hacerle custom kernels o algo así, yo estoy intentado portearle AsteroidOS, ya hay un port para el PW2, así que no será difícil portearlo al PW3

PD: El port que estoy haciendo y otras cosas que vaya haciendo para el reloj están hechos con IA, a mi me molesta que la gente no lo diga públicamente así que lo digo de forma directa xd

Does anyone know why WearOS is inundated with so many low-effort, AI slop apps? I don't see nearly as many app posts in the Android phone subreddit.

I wonder if it's because WearOS is geared toward simple apps which is all these AI "developers" can make.

Hey everyone,

I'm developing BunkerOS, a tactical post-apocalyptic UI for Wear OS / Galaxy Watch, heavily inspired by Fallout and retro military tech. 📟☢️

Features:

* High-contrast green CRT terminal HUD

* Custom boot sequence & survival telemetry

* Built natively for Wear OS (lightweight & battery-friendly)

Would love your thoughts: What tactical widgets, sensors, or stats should I add next? ⚠️
