> If you own a Pixel Watch 4, you no longer need a sideloading workaround for the Watch 5's faces, but the update is reaching owners in waves.

A Reddit user with a [Pixel Watch 4](https://idevice.com/smart-watches/google-pixel-watch/roadmap/watch-4) LTE was among the first to get version 4.2.12 of the Pixel Watch Faces app straight from the Play Store, [Android Authority reported](https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-watch-5-faces-older-watch-4-3721113/). It unlocks Weave, Chronograph, Multicolor Modular and Multicolor Reveal, the faces that debuted on the [Pixel Watch 5](https://idevice.com/smart-watches/google-pixel-watch/roadmap), plus the Stephen Curry face that first shipped only on the special-edition Watch 5. Google's AI face maker comes along too. You describe a design by text or voice, and it builds the colors, patterns and digits, though it can't change the layout or make an analog face.

Until now, getting these faces on a Watch 4 meant sideloading, which takes ADB, a developer tool, and wireless debugging. The update is arriving gradually, and some owners still can't see it. Older Pixel Watches aren't getting the faces so far. If you have a Watch 4, check the Play Store for a Pixel Watch Faces update, then open the face editor in the Watch app on your phone.
