A collection of official Google sample projects demonstrating best practices for building Wear OS apps and watch faces in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Each sample is a standalone Android Studio project covering topics like the data layer, OAuth, tiles, complications, and the Watch Face Format.
Use cases
- learn how to build a Wear OS app with Jetpack Compose
- create a custom watch face for Wear OS
- implement authentication on a smartwatch app without a companion mobile app
- communicate between a phone and watch via the data layer
- build Wear OS tiles and complications
- record and play audio on a wearable device
- test watch face complications against sample data sources
When to choose
- you are starting Wear OS development and want official, up-to-date example code
- you need reference implementations for tiles, complications, or Watch Face Format
- you want to see best practices for Compose on wearables
When to avoid
- you need a production-ready library or framework to drop into your app
- you are targeting platforms other than Wear OS
- you want a single unified app rather than many separate sample projects
