### 5/5 — Love it

*2020-03-09, version 1.0.1*

It’s the simplicity of these watches faces that I love. With the Oled screen they really stand out.

### 4/5 — Really cool and simplistic

*2019-03-08, version 1.0.1*

Great for colour matching with my bands and the oled screen on the watch blends the patterns into the watch. If you select a bunch of them into one watchface you get a new pattern every Time you raise your wrist! Really cool and a great way to show off to friends lol. Rated 4/5 because we could do with more patterns!

### 4/5 — Really good

*2019-01-21, version 1.0.1*

Took a bit of a punt on this as not many reviews but actually really good.   I like the wallpapers and it's very smooth and easy to customise!

Hopefully this app can be expanded on.
