Matchstick Time

Every digit is built from wooden matchsticks, each with one red head, laid out on a warm cream background. Hours sit on top, minutes below, the date above them and the watch battery at the bottom. A small table-top puzzle for round Wear OS watches.

A puzzle you can read

Four digits in two rows: hours on top, minutes below. Every segment is a wooden match with a red head, and leading zeros stay in place, so 08:05 looks exactly as it would laid out on a table.

Date and battery, nothing else

The date sits at the top in English or Russian, with AM/PM in 12-hour mode; the watch battery sits at the bottom. Both can be switched off. No seconds, sensors, permissions or network connection.

Outlined always-on

Always-on draws pale match outlines on black and hides the battery. The layout moves by a pixel each minute.

Device compatibility

Round watches running Wear OS 4 or later. These are examples that meet the platform requirements, not a list of physically tested devices.

Matchstick Time is still in preview: tested on Wear OS 4 and 6 emulators. Compatibility with individual watches has not yet been confirmed; final availability will appear on Google Play.

Install the latest available system update first, especially on Galaxy Watch4, Watch5 and the original Pixel Watch. The installed Wear OS version matters, not just the model name.

Other Wear OS watches

Other round watches may meet the requirements if they run Wear OS 4 or later. They are not confirmed here; check the exact device in Google Play when the face is released. On dual-system watches, this face is intended for Wear OS mode.

Not compatible

Garmin Connect IQ, Apple Watch, older Samsung watches running Tizen, and watches still running Wear OS 3 or earlier cannot install this edition. A similar model name does not imply the same operating system.
