Galaxy Watch 7 users can now load watch faces originally designed for the Galaxy Watch Ultra, a advancement that has been met with enthusiasm for its potential to enhance software parity across Samsung’s wearable lineup. This move allows users to access premium watch face designs without needing to adapt hardware like bands, which are specific to the Ultra model.
The process of sideloading these watch faces, which involves pairing the watch to a phone via ADB and transferring APK files, can present initial challenges. Early attempts may involve difficulty in locating the correct pairing methods and identifying the necessary APKs. However, once these initial hurdles are overcome, the procedure becomes more straightforward.
Sideloading to a Galaxy Watch takes a little learning, but I’d do it over and over again.
with experience in sideloading watch faces, Galaxy Watch 7 owners may find themselves motivated to explore a wider variety of designs. This includes seeking out unofficial watch face clones or unique interpretations of existing Samsung designs from sources like APKMirror.The ability to customize the watch with these new faces offers a significant upgrade in personalization.
Users considering sideloading are advised to exercise caution, ensuring that downloaded APKs are from trusted sources. It is indeed also recommended to discontinue the use of any APK that causes performance issues or instability on the watch. The widespread adoption of sideloading by users coudl potentially encourage Samsung to officially expand its watch face library to include designs from its premium models in the future.
