Roman Nurik’s “FORM” Watchface mashes APKs together for customizable watchface
July 08, 2025
While the Android watchface scene is as old as the Android Wear platform itself, it wasn’t until late last year that theofficial Android Wear watchface API was launched. Since then, we’ve seen the AW watchface market explode with options, and now you can add one more to the list. FORM is a new WatchFace by none other than Roman Nurik, the man best known for the creation of theMuzei Live Wallpaper app.
While Muzei itself already contained support for Android Wear, providing a basic watchface, the new FORM WatchFace takes things a step forward. At first glance, it is an ordinary watch face utilizing a new (ironically somewhat hard to read…) typeface created for the FORM 2014 conference, but underneath lies Meizu integration that can mash together five different APKs to create a customizable watchface experience.
What does that mean exactly? In short, the code behind FORM lets a watch show off whatever wallpaper is currently on the phone, all while using a custom watch face that sits on top of the wallpaper — provided the watch face developer adds Muzei support. Here’s a rundown of the five apps/APKs involved in the process, for those looking for a bit more detail:
For developers interested in bringing similar capability to their own watchfaces, the source code canbe found on GitHub.If you simply want to try out the watchface, you’ll want to head over to Google Play.
