Advent Wreath Watch Face

Advent Wreath puts a wreath of leaves and berries around your watch. Inside it are the date, the time and four Advent candles around a white centre candle, and the candles light themselves as Advent goes on.

HOW THE CANDLES WORK
The first candle lights on the first Sunday of Advent, the second a week later, and so on: one new candle on each of the four Sundays before Christmas. In 2026 that is 29 November, then 6, 13 and 20 December. On Christmas Day (25 December) the white centre candle lights as well. All the flames go out on 1 January, and from then until the next Advent the candles stay unlit. It is worked out from your watch's own date, so there is nothing to set and it never needs updating. It follows the Western Christian calendar (the four Sundays before 25 December), not the Orthodox one.

THREE THEMES
Choose in the face editor: Classic (purple candles and a rose one, on deep green), Crimson (red candles with a gold one) and Frost (blues and silver). Every text colour in every theme has a contrast ratio of at least 7:1 against its background.

Always-on mode keeps the date and the time, dimmed, on a black screen. The wreath and candles are shown while the screen is awake.

Advent Wreath has no complication slots: the wreath fills the dial. It shows the time and date only.

No ads, no in-app purchases, no data collected and no permissions. This is a Watch Face Format face: it contains no code.

To use it, touch and hold the current watch face, swipe to Advent Wreath, then tap the pencil to choose a theme. Requires a round Wear OS 4 or newer watch.

Good to know: the weekday and month wording uses your watch's language. Screenshots show sample dates (14 December, with three candles lit; the extra screenshots show the first Sunday of Advent and Christmas Day).
