As a creator myself, I’m always drawn to faces with a strong design idea. I really like when classic inspiration, retro LCD details, old electronics, or instrument style layouts are translated into something modern, fresh and clever.
For me, the best faces are clear and useful first, but they also need atmosphere. Good readability, smart information, subtle light, depth, and a bit of nostalgia can make a design feel special.
That mix of function, creativity, and character is what I enjoy most.
The watch faces that cost me the most time and brain work, is my 7-segment series. The math was not that simple and I had to let it rest now and again. It took me a month to build (can be built mechanically), and it is really my all time favorite:
Second in line would have to be my triaxial series. Not any less complicated!
Please don’t go - we, who know very little, need people/designers like you to learn from.
Please dont say never ever - if you must take a break please do but please pop back here now and then.
You and a few others are the only reason I’m here!
Sorry I can not define one sole all-time favorite face. There are way too many I like and some others I change now and then depending on mood or situation.
Lets mention insted of all time favorite an old times favorite. Is from creator B# as example of his unmatched realistic look combined with the on demand data (which is no longer supported) and his signature hypnotic glow mode, all thematically arranged incorporating non-watch genere.
hey I just saw this now. Much appreciated! to be honest, it’s a lot easier to make/publish a premium face now that we have lost the ability for so many interactive features, but I do miss the smart watch experience of pre-WFF. I loved being able to make essentially an analog design, but still have one tap access to all the info. That was the best of both worlds to me. Google really took a huge step backwards with WFF imo. …I say that even though it makes my work easier.
You’re very welcome! I’ll explain my choice a little more, as others on the forum might find it interesting too.
I’m still relatively new to Facer compared with many long-time creators, but you were one of the designers who immediately stood out to me. There are others too, of course What I especially like is the authenticity and creativity in your work.
Your animations and effects are often quite complex and calculated in real time, and I really appreciate that. It is relatively easy in Facer to import an animation sequence (splitting a GIF), but creating beautiful animations and effects in real time is a completely different level. That is one of the things I like most about your faces. Keep up the great work!
