Planets Watchface Android Wear for Android
Disabling the animations is an absolute must to save battery, but once that's done its a really cool watch face. I never noticed, but the planets and moons are in their real positions. You can see where our moon is too
This watch face is quite nice, but like everyone said, the animation takes too long. Also, can you try improving the fps when a watch first wakes up? It's laggy at first
Like a few other users, I turned off the animation so that it didn't waste time spinning every time the face turned on. However, after a few weeks I noticed this prevented the planets from changing place at all!!! It would be nice if you could turn off the lengthy animation AND still have the positions update regularly.
It's a great watch face, very clean and pretty, especially when you turn off the animation. However, it has been crashing quite often... I'm not sure but i think it has to do with the animation of the plants. When it crashes and I reboot it, the planets animate even though I turned that feature off.
Can you give options to hide the planets in Ambient Mode? Also since the previous update, battery drain slightly increased...
Watch faces like this are why I wanted a Wear device. It's simple and elegant, but with a ponderous feature that appeals to the science minded as well as the casual dreamer.
And thanks for the quick reply from the developer explaining that you can turn off animations from the settings menu through the Android Wear program.
I've been using this face for a few months now. It's been great to me. While the battery life has been a little shorter than usual, it looks fantastic and I can still make it through the day on one charge
the app installed but there's no option to open it. it is not found in my watch faces, and I just read it's because android wear 5.0 update didn't get to me yet :'( will re review once I get the update.
Will the planets still rotate but they will not do the big rotation when the screen lights up?
Astronomy enthusiasts will get a kick out of it. Well designed!
Hands down the best watch face, no ridiculous logo like most paid watch faces and lovely lightweight animations! Would happily pay £2.99 for this.
It looks awful on a square clock :(
I love that it displays the current position of the planet. I wish there was a more mature and polished version of this watch face. Would gladly pay for it.
Looks great but still not available after updating to wear 5
It's a nice idea, not as interactive as others (no option for battery percentage etc).
Fun watch face. One of my faves!
By far the only watch face I use, and I'm usually a digital clock face guy. Love the animations, haven't noticed a hit on battery.
It does drain your battery a bit faster. JUST CHARGE IT!
I guess this is the cutest watchface.. I really like the small details like moon by earth and comet as a second hand.. Unfortunately, it really drains battery faster.. Minus? I really miss pluto!!! Back in my days, pluto was still a planet... :) anyway you can add the date? In a fancy galaxy font? In one of the paths?
Requires a bit of thinking when first utilized. Would have liked more interactions and/or settings..
Great concept but the frame rate gets destroyed since the planets have to swirl around to refresh every time you wake the watch up. Pretty to look at but wasteful in resources
Battery drainer for sure but very nice for show, I leave it installed though I don't often use it

It's beautiful but lacking features.

Great app, wish I could set it as my screen saver.
It doesn't provide any info, or options for more info. If I'm going to have an expensive electronic device attached to my arm, then it had better tell me everything I want to know time related at a glance. Thanks.
Really cool! Animations are neat! One request, add the option to have the date and put the date somewhere in the middle because too many watch faces are dumb and have the date at the bottom of the screen which gets covered up by notifications
Great design! Not too great for my battery though lol

I love this watch face. Has been my default for a couple weeks now. I have the LG G watch R and haven't noticed significant battery draining. I found out how turn off the animation when the watch wakes up through the wear app on my phone (A gear icon appears over the watch face). Great job!
Simple and amazing to look at all the planets in our solar system. Only thing that would compliment the watch face would be the ability to add the date on screen.
i like it very much. this it simple but cool.

Its awesome. Animation is too long but its cool... The battery runs out quickly though..
Minimalist and beautiful for it. If there was a matching LWP for this, I'd love it.
This is a very good I love it only one problem... It absolutely destroys the batteries more than other watch faces
After tapping watch to wake up the planets animate into their positions. Cool effect, but by the time the animation finishes, the screen has already dimmed again! Needs option to speed up/disable animation or, preferably, stay active for about 5x longer.

Worked at first but now the app doesn't show up anywhere on my phone besides in the settings to uninstall. Tried reinstalling but didn't work. App doesn't open. No error message or anything. On my Samsung Galaxy 5
