01extreme-geometry-wired-design
__Left:__ [Refract](https://github.com/dmnd/illusion) — Equal parts op art, [dazzle camouflage](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazzle_camouflage), and *Magic Eye* poster, this watch face displays the time in a dramatic way — If you can read it at all. __Right:__ [Squared](https://github.com/lastfuture/Pebble-Watchface---Squared) — Wearing a computer on your wrist is pretty darn futuristic, so why not adorn it with an appropriately modern looking typeface?
02pixel-pebble-wired-design
__Left:__ [Pixel Array](http://www.reddit.com/r/pebble/comments/1ca9eh/new_watchface_pixel/) — The de rigueur pixel-based watch face is a must have for any dorky dandies. __Right:__ [Tix](https://github.com/Pitoo67/Pebble-Tix-Clock) — This watch face looks like something that would be used by a more evolved, intergalactic species, but it's actually really easy to understand. There are four quadrants and you just need to count the number in each; this watch face reads 16:46, 4:46PM for American audiences.

__Left:__ [Holiday Countdown](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/view?fID=1752&aName=stvsan&pageTitle=Holiday+Countdown&auID=855) — The respectable resolution of the Pebble makes displaying text possible. This face uses the real estate to alert it's owner to the next big holiday on the horizon. Other variations simply tell you whether it's "[Beer O'Clock](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/?query=beer+)" or not. __Right:__ [Hobbit Time](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/view?fID=1237&aName=kchuffle&pageTitle=Hobbit+Time&auID=1379) — If Hobbit society ever modernized to the point where they were interested in electromechanical devices, this is the watch they would wear. It displays all the key Hobbit timeframes: elevenses, second-breakfast, and almost supper.
04games-pebble-wired-design
__Left:__ [Mario](https://github.com/shadone/pebble-mario) — Porting old video games onto new platforms has become a right of passage (and yes there is a [*Doom*-themed](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/view?fID=2250&aName=metroidmen&pageTitle=DOOM&auID=901) watch face) and this homage to Mario shows the Pebble will continue the tradition. __Right:__ [Pebblis](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/?query=pebblis) — Dwight Schrute has nothing on the office worker who loads up this watch face — using the buttons on the Pebble one can actually play a full game of Tetris.

__Left:__ [Nyan Watch](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/view?fID=1529&aName=jpitchell&pageTitle=Nyan+Watch&auID=1790) — GIFs are fun; thankfully for coworkers, however, the trademark song is not playable on the watch. __Right:__ [RickRoll](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/view?fID=1745&aName=dezign999&pageTitle=Rick+Roll&auID=714) — In the modern day there is nowhere to hide from the Rick Roll — Astley never gives up.
06space-pebble-wired-design
__Left:__ [Trekkie](https://github.com/remixz/trekkie) — Want to feel like your living in the 24th century? This *Star Trek: The Next Generation* themed watch can make it so. __Right:__ [Targeting](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/view?fID=1391&aName=GGCrew&pageTitle=Targeting+%28Animated%29&auID=1047) — In a feat of sci-fi bigamy that was previously only available to J.J. Abrams, now geeks can load a Star Trek and Star Wars themed watch face onto the Pebble.

__Left:__ [BlockSlide Date](ttp://www.mypebblefaces.com/view?fID=1667&aName=Jnm&pageTitle=Blockslide-Date+%28US+Date%29&auID=609) — The number on this face are blocky as can be, but the transition between numbers are smoothly animated for great effect. __Right:__ [Bold Hour](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/view?fID=700&aName=yanatan16&pageTitle=Bold+Hour+%28White%29&auID=598) — This design perfectly splits the difference between hipster and geriatric. It's big and bold enough for a Baby Boomer with bad eyesight to read, but also would be a great conversation starter at a bar in Bushwick.
08pebble-linear-wired-design
__Left:__ [Progress](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/view?fID=585&aName=igorfv&pageTitle=Progress+Watch&auID=689) — For the first time, geeks can wear a semi-fashionable computer on their wrist. Why not use the opportunity to track time a la progress bar? __Right:__ [Bar Graph](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/view?fID=1558&aName=SterlingEly&pageTitle=Bar+Graph&auID=838) — Fans of spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations can track the time with handy bar charts.
09classical-pebble-wired-design
__Left:__ [Gatekeeper](https://github.com/alex-humphreys/Gatekeeper) — Apple may be killing skeuomorphism in iOS7, but Pebble owners can't seem to get enough of it. __Right:__ [Fancy](https://github.com/zalewszczak/pebble/tree/master/fancy) — Styles range from the sedate to the swirly as evidenced by this homage to an antique timepiece.
10geometry-pebble-wired-design
__Left:__ [Isometric](http://www.mypebblefaces.com/?auID=130&aName=pzich&pageTitle=Faces%20by%20pzich) — Pebble customers are early adopters so a geek chic selection of watch faces makes perfect sense. __Right:__ [Fez](https://github.com/exe44/pebble-fez) — Whether your tastes run bold and bright or more subdued, there are many options to choose from.
