Details on “Premium Deal” for Wear OS 5 users waiting for Wear OS 6

Facer announced a great deal during the launch of its Wear OS 6 support that will help many Wear OS 5 users (who anticipate their device updating to Wear OS 6) start getting access to premium Facer faces asap as part of an annual subscription plan.

The overview of the deal provided the following info:

Limited-Time Launch Promo

  • Facer Premium first year at $14.99 — unlimited faces for less.
    Regularly $39.99/yr with a $19.99 first year introductory price.
  • 50% off watch bands for new annual subscribers.
  • Special Wear OS 5 Offer: If you have a Wear OS watch that launched with Wear OS 5, where you have been unable to get Facer Premium, we’re expecting Wear OS 6 updates to land on your watch in the coming weeks or months. Subscribe before September 30, 2025, via our website, and get promo codes for 2 Facer faces on Google Play so you can start enjoying premium faces now while you wait for your Wear OS 6 update.

Overall, this is a great price with some great extras included and a great way to start using Facer today even if you are currently stuck on a watch with Wear OS 5 that may not get the update for another few weeks or months from this original post date.

We are tentatively set to run this promotion through the end of September but could end this sooner based on various factors. So, check out this post to understand if this makes sense for you and if it does, sign up before the deal is gone!

A few things to note

First, Facer does not control when or which devices will get the Wear OS 6 update. That is up to the original manufacturers (i.e. Google Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, Oppo, Mobvoi TicWatch, etc.). We do anticipate that older watches which originally shipped out of the box at launch with Wear OS 5 will update to Wear OS 6, but again, we cannot know for sure. We recommend that consumers reach out to their watch’s support team to ask and check out those company’s forums to find more information.

As we do hear about older Wear OS watches getting the Wear OS 6 update or some form of a Wear OS 6 release in a Beta or developer version, we will note them here when we get a chance! Here is the current list of watches that have seen some form of support for Wear OS 6 that we think are therefore very likely to get Wear OS 6 sooner than later if not already:

  1. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 (shipping with Wear OS 6 to consumers July 25, 2025)
  2. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic (shipping with Wear OS 6 to consumers July 25, 2025)
  3. Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Ultra (reports of a consumer Wear OS 6 release on July 22, 2025)
  4. Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 Classic (limited Wear OS 6 Beta released by Samsung in June 2025)
  5. Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (limited Wear OS 6 Beta released by Samsung in June 2025)
  6. Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 series (reports of Wear OS 6 test as seen in June, 2025)
  7. Google Pixel Watch 3 (reports of Wear OS 6 available for developers shown in May 2025)
  8. Google Pixel Watch 1 & 2 (report indicated confirmed future support for Wear OS 6)
  9. OnePlus Watch 2, 2R, 3 (report indicated OnePlus confirmed eventual Wear OS 6 support with no timing details)
  10. Oppo Watch X2 (no reports yet, only Google AI Search analysis that it will likely come)

If your watch is not listed here with reliable sources of information indicating a Wear OS 6 update on its way, again, check the forums from your manufacturer and ask their support team but it might be wiser for you to hold off on signing up for our Facer Premium Deal at this time!

How do I get the 50% off watch bands?

All users who sign up for an annual subscription will receive a code that will enable them to purchase watch bands at store.facer.io at the discount. Doesn’t matter if you are on a Wear OS 5 or 6 watch or even an Apple watch. Anyone signing up now for the annual will get this!

How do I get the promo codes for 2 Facer faces?

3 Easy Steps!

First, make sure you sign up for an annual Premium subscription via our website! This deal is not available if you purchase a plan via Google Play.

Second, email our customer support team (support@facer.io) with the subject: “Wear OS 5 face codes” and tell them which 2 Facer faces you want that are available on Google Play. Note, Facer has directly published a number of top faces directly in Google Play that can be individually downloaded as separate apps for your watch - make sure you pick from these faces!

Our customer support team will check the following to confirm your eligibility:

  1. You have indeed subscribed for the annual plan
  2. You have a Wear OS 5 watch linked to your account that does not yet have a Wear OS 6 update available for it (make sure you finish onboarding in the Facer app first!)
  3. You haven’t already gotten codes

Third, once our customer support team confirms your eligibility, they will email you a promo code for each face requested (2 codes maximum) that you can use in the Google Play store by October 15, 2025, to get those Facer watch faces without being charged separately.

What happens when my watch updates to Wear OS 6?

If and when your watch does finally update to Wear OS 6, you will need to change your device in the left menu in the Facer phone app to switch over to a Wear OS 6 version of your watch. That will kick off a new setup process that will involve installing our new Facer watch app (on your watch) that can communicate with our phone app to sync faces.

To check to see if your watch has updated, go into the watch settings, about watch, software information, and scroll down until you see “Wear OS version” - if that is 6.0 or higher, you have it. Don’t be confused though by other software versions in there like OneUI or other OEM system software which may run version numbers like 6 or even higher but on older versions of Wear OS!

Anything else I should know?

We’re super excited to be back on Wear OS with full support for all of Facer’s great offerings from subscriptions, to “a la carte” purchases and tons of free faces — all from within our Facer app! As of the time of this writing, most of our full catalog now works on Wear OS 6 watches!

We also encourage you to write up positive reviews on Google Play about Facer after a year-long bout lacking real support for the latest Wear OS! We’re back and better than ever!

If more questions arise about this deal, we will update this post with more answers!
