Here’s how you can get Pixel Watch 5’s exclusive watch faces on your Pixel Watch 4

Google recently introduced the Pixel Watch 5, which brings several enhancements such as an extended battery life, a more powerful processor, double the storage, and additional features. The new Pixel Watch 5 also includes two new watch faces, namely Weave and Chronograph, along with the capability to design custom watch faces. However, if you own a Pixel Watch 4 and find yourself missing out on these new watch faces, there is a workaround available.

A Reddit user, m0rr0ng0, revealed that you can install the Pixel Watch 5 watch faces on your Pixel Watch 4 by downloading the latest version of the Pixel Watch Faces app and sideloading it using GeminiMan (or similar sideloading methods). This means that users of the Pixel Watch 4 will be able to access the exclusive Weave, Chronograph, Steph Curry-edition, Multicolor Reveal, and Multicolor Modular watch faces, which were initially introduced with the Pixel Watch 5.

It is essential to note that this sideloading method is only applicable to the Pixel Watch 4, and older models like the Pixel Watch 1, 2, and 3 are not supported.
