where can i get that watch face?

You should do a video on different launchers working on watches!! Um using touchwiz on my iqi i8.. I'm loving it
To Transfer Android Packages (APKs) to the watch the easiest way is to use Bluetooth and your don't need any third party software just go to your file manager select the app then click share then Bluetooth and click your watch name. And you don't need WiFi perfect for on the go!
My personal favorite way of installing apps on my watch is to, go to the google play store with the same account on the watch on my computer ,then select the app that i want and click install and then a bunch of names will pop up like for example
"Samsung Galaxy Note 9" and if you have the same account on your watch your watch name will pop up like "THOR 4 Plus" or "LEM X" and just tap it and it will automatically install on your watch! Try it for your self it works like magic!
At least it was informative so thats why I gave you a thumbs up
Your attitude is amazing!
Can't wait for this video to come out again in 2020
