Binary 0.4.0 adds native heart rate and makes room for Wear OS activity indicators while keeping the binary time centered and prominent.

Changes

• Show native heart rate beside battery, with decimal, hexadecimal, and binary readouts
• Place both readouts above the lower complications
• Reserve bottom-center space for the notification dot and ongoing-activity indicator
• Balance the two-, three-, and four-complication layouts while preserving complication assignments
• Keep the established time position and size

The layout was verified on a physical Pixel Watch with a running stopwatch in active and always-on modes. Automated clearance checks guard the reserved area against future regressions.

Install

Join the tester group, then opt in to the Google Play closed beta for Play-managed installation and updates. The Play update becomes available after Google approves it.

For manual installation, download binary-watch-face.apk and binary-watch-face.apk.sha256 below. This universal APK was exported from Google Play and carries its app-signing certificate.

shasum -a 256 -c binary-watch-face.apk.sha256
adb install -r binary-watch-face.apk

Install on the watch. See the installation guide for Wi-Fi setup and replacing a locally signed debug build.

Requires Wear OS 7 (API level 37) and Watch Face Format 5. This is a beta release; GitHub publication does not enroll downloaders as Play testers.

Binary 0.1.0 beta 1 is the first public preview of the configurable binary watch face for Wear OS 7.

Install

Eligible testers can join the Google Play internal test for Play-managed installation and updates.

For manual installation, download binary-watch-face.apk and binary-watch-face.apk.sha256 below. This universal APK was exported from Google Play and carries the same app-signing certificate as Play-installed builds.

shasum -a 256 -c binary-watch-face.apk.sha256
adb install binary-watch-face.apk

Install the APK directly on the watch, not on its paired phone. See the README for USB and Wi-Fi setup, updates, and debug-build replacement.
