🏆 Announcing the winners of the 2025 Facer Awards

The Facer Awards celebrate the creativity, talent, and passion of our global designer community. Throughout 2025, designers pushed the boundaries of watch face design while navigating major platform changes, new technical limitations, and evolving formats, all while continuing to create expressive, innovative, and highly distinctive work.

From adapting to Wear OS 6 and the new WFF requirements, to working within the strict constraints of Apple Watch’s official watch face formats, designers found creative ways to innovate, develop signature styles, and release outstanding designs at an incredible pace. For many, this meant building a creative career entirely devoted to watch face design.

This year’s awards honor the most outstanding work of 2025, celebrating the designers and watch faces that stood out across Apple Watch and Wear OS.
