Face Chime™ adds a delightful, expressive touch to your smartwatch by playing a custom sound at the top of every hour, uniquely designed for the watch face you’re wearing. It’s a fun, hands-free way to stay aware of time while giving your watch even more personality.
Face Chime is currently available on Wear OS 6 with more platforms are coming soon.
How to try Face Chime
When you sync a watch face that includes Face Chime, you’ll automatically be prompted the first time to enable chimes. This makes the feature simple to activate without digging through settings.
