Google is finally letting you put your AI-generated digital twin right on your wrist. In a new report, the Androidify app now uses the power of Gemini to turn your selfies into custom watch faces with a single tap.
Your Android bot selfie is now a watch face
The Androidify app has been around in various forms for ages, but the latest update brings it firmly into the modern era. Instead of just picking colors and hats manually, the app now leans on Gemini and Imagen AI to transform a photo of you into a unique Android bot character. Once your digital avatar is ready, you can push that design directly to your Wear OS watch face in a matter of seconds.

Syncing your custom bot to Wear OS
Grab the latest Androidify update from the Play Store.
Snap a selfie and let the AI build your unique bot.
Use the integrated push tool to sync the design to your watch.
This entire process is powered by a new Watch Face Push API, which is a fancy way of saying Google is making it much easier for developers to send designs from your phone to your wrist.

Why this matters for your wrist

Once upon a time, customizing a Wear OS watch felt like a bit of a mess compared to the competition. If you look at the Apple Watch, they’ve had Memoji faces for years that animate and react to your touch. Samsung has also played around with AR Emojis, but they often feel a bit stiff and disconnected from the rest of the UI.
This update shows Google is finally catching up in the personality department. It’s a great entry point for anyone who wants a watch face that feels unique without having to dive into an existing library of watch faces

AI can actually be fun
I’ll be honest: I usually roll my eyes at "AI for everything," but this is genuinely fun. It’s a low-stakes, playful way to use generative technology, but it makes the hardware feel more like yours. If you have a Pixel Watch or a Galaxy Watch, give it a spin—it’s the kind of fun customization that’s been missing for a while.
