I just updated my Galaxy 6 Classic to the latest software (Version 8?) The update took quite a long time but did finish OK. I had to power the watch off and on to get Facer and my Facer face to load - but they did.
Later I put the watch on it’s charger and charged it to 100%. WHen it came back Facer was gone, along with all Facer faces. Instead I got the default green & white face. So now I have to go throught the whole Facer reload and then reload my faces.
Grrrrrr.
Here is the result of a Google/AI search on how to recover:

To enable Facer on your Galaxy Watch 6 with One UI 8 Watch (based on Wear OS 6), ensure your watch has received the stable One UI 8 Watch update, which is now rolling out globally. Once updated, follow these steps:
- Install the Facer app on your paired smartphone from the Google Play Store.
- On your Galaxy Watch 6, go to Settings > About > Software and tap “Software version” seven times to enable Developer Mode.
- Install the Facer app directly on your watch by opening the Galaxy Store on your watch and searching for Facer, or by using the Facer companion link on your phone.
- After installation, ensure the Facer logo face is set as your current watch face by long-pressing the watch face and selecting Facer from the list.
- With the Facer face active, sync your desired watch faces from the Facer app on your phone. The Watch Face Push API in Wear OS 6 allows approved third-party apps like Facer to push a single face to your watch’s favorites menu.
This failed at step #4 because the Facer app (or the Facer default face) never showed up on the list of available faces.
I am quite disturbed…
