One of the coolest things about Android Wear is the ability to load just about any watch face imaginable. However, sometimes you don’t want a bunch of faces showing up on the watch because it’s kind of a pain swiping through all of them. The pre-installed ones are generally the ones that you are most likely to never use so it would be cool if you can simply hide them from your watch making it a lot easier to find your favorite faces. Well there is a way, and you won’t believe how simple it is to do.

1) Open the Android Wear app on your phone.

2) You will notice that the three most recently used watch faces are showing on the main page of the app. Tap the More button to show you all the watch faces that are pre-installed and that you downloaded from Google Play.

3) To hide any of them, just tap on the three dot menu at the top right of any of the watch face cards and select Hide on watch.

4) You will now notice that watch face is grayed out and it will no longer appear on your smartwatch. You can do this to as many watch faces as you want.
