Installing a Wear OS watch face on your Pixel Watch can be done either through the watch itself or using the Google Play Store on your phone.

Once installed, the new face may not automatically become the active one. On the watch, touch and hold the watch face, then swipe left or right to browse your available faces.

On the phone, open the Watch faces section, select the face, and tap Use on watch or Edit to make any necessary changes.
To customize the watch face, simply touch and hold the face and tap Edit. Scroll through the available styles and complication layouts, which may vary depending on the watch face. If you need to update your watch faces and apps, go to the Play Store on your watch and navigate to Manage apps, then tap Update All. Alternatively, swipe down from the top of the Play Store screen on your phone to view any available updates.
To remove a watch face you no longer want, head to the Play Store on your watch, swipe down, and tap My Apps. Select the face or app you wish to uninstall, scroll to the bottom, and tap Uninstall. Make sure to check your software version by navigating to Settings, System, About, and Versions.
