Where has the Wear OS face gone? 😢 I used to have this on my MK Smartwatch but I can't seem to find the watch one anymore in the Play Store. Dev can you help? Thank you.

Very nice neatly minimalistic clocks with a bit of basic customisation. Text outline feature is a bit crude though - lacking the "rounding" to it since it causes the "spikes" around some letters when it's thick enough. Otherwise, a pretty little widget.

About this app

Approxitock is a ‘humanized’ word clock which gives the approximate time in a conversational manner, reminiscent of a time when people would ask for the time from passers-by. This playful way of communicating the time can be used as a widget, a screensaver, and a watch face for Android Wear devices.

• Range of pre-set colors for background, text, and text outline
• Colors available: white; black; red; orange; pink; green; yellow; blue; transparent
• Android Wear watch face
• Screensaver(Daydream) when your device is plugged in or docked (Android versions 4.2+)

Paid features – Approxitock Pro - Available through a single In-app purchase

• Full access to layout options, including alignment and rounded edges
• Show the time in French and German (more languages coming soon)

This clock widget was inspired by an art installation at the Lumiere festival in Durham, UK.

Some devices may need rebooting to allow Approxitock to appear in the widget menu.

Please ensure that Approxitock is exempt from any task-killers you have installed, as this will interfere with the widget updating.
