Fan-made Stardew Valley smart watch face is excellent

If you adore Stardew Valley and sport a WearOS watch, consider yourself fortunate today! A user named brueqqe posted a snapshot on the Stardew Valley subreddit showcasing their custom-made WearOS face, designed with inspiration from the game itself. Stardew Valley has gained massive popularity over the past decade, largely thanks to its solo developer. Yet, the fanbase’s enthusiasm hasn’t waned, as they continue producing unique content and add-ons for the game – like a recent mod inspired by Baldur’s Gate 3.

Fan-made Stardew Valley custom WearOS watch face is absolutely perfect

If you’re not acquainted with WearOS, it refers to Google’s operating system designed specifically for smartwatches, excluding Apple Watches. I apologize to all Apple Watch users, this content doesn’t cater to your needs. Essentially, WearOS enables developers to create apps suitable for multiple digital watches. The custom face comes equipped with standard watch features like time display, along with an icon indicating the current season, adjustable day and night backgrounds, a step counter, progress tracker, and more. You can download this personalized face at no cost.

Brueqque, the designer, incorporated some clever elements into the design, such as depicting the battery levels like health and energy bars familiar to Stardew Valley players. As these bars deplete, they change color and display an exhaustion icon when below 15%. Instead of gold, the counter tracks steps. When there’s a calendar event, a journal icon appears and serves as a shortcut to open the calendar app on your watch.

In the comments section, there’s a lot of excitement among fans. Many are expressing a desire to have this face on their watches, including Apple Watch users and it seems Garmin wearers too. However, the post is generally receiving only positive feedback. At the moment, it has more than eighteen thousand upvotes and over two hundred comments. One user wrote: “I don’t own a smartwatch. I don’t need a smartwatch. I don’t want a smartwatch. But when I see the Stardew Valley faces, I suddenly feel like I must have one.

It’s astonishing to see such a vibrant fan base for Stardew Valley, a game released in 2016. Remarkably, the developer continues to release updates rather than moving on to new projects. Few games of its age (nine years old) can boast such dedication from their fans, who spend their free time creating custom content unrelated to gameplay. This isn’t surprising though, as Stardew Valley is not your typical game.
