Pixel Watch 2: Exclusive Google watch faces leak in advance of autumn release
Kamila Wojciechowska has revealed launch watch faces for the Pixel Watch 2, the rumoured follow-up for Google's long-awaited inaugural smartwatch. Writing on Android Authority, the leaker claims that these watch faces will be Pixel Watch 2 exclusives. However, there should be no reason why the watch faces embedded below could not be sideloaded, as has proven the case with those exclusive to the original Pixel Watch.
At any rate, Wojciechowska alleges that Google has added four new configurable options called Accessible, Analog Bold, Arc and Bold Digital. Google has also bundled multiple variants for each watch face, with over a dozen variants in total. For example, Arc can be configured with four complications, just the date in the upper part of the watch face or with numerals dominating the centre area.

Bold Digital
Meanwhile, Google has based Bold Digital on one of the new lock screen clocks it added to recent Android 14 Beta builds for Pixel smartphones. Please see the screenshots above and below for the full list of Pixel Watch 2 watch faces that Wojciechowska has leaked so far. The addition of dynamic theming within Wear OS 4 should further improve customisation options, with watch face colours applied consistently throughout the UI.
Currently, the Pixel Watch 2 is expected to debut this autumn alongside the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro. Purportedly, Google will switch to an aluminium housing for its second-generation smartwatch though, which should reduce its weight at the cost of durability. The Pixel Watch 2 is rumoured to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon-derived chipset too, reputedly to improve battery life and performance without changing the overall Pixel Watch design aesthetic.
