Back in 2014, Android Wear shipped a little gem called the Together watch face. You'd pair it with one other person — your partner, a close friend — and you could doodle, send an emoji, a sticker, or a quick note straight to each other's wrist. Two people, one shared watch face. It was simple and weirdly intimate.

Then in 2016 Google quietly killed it (https://www.pcmag.com/news/google-says-goodbye-to-android-wears-together-watch-face), and it's still referenced in old support docs like this (https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1013732/)). I always missed it, and nothing really replaced it.

So over the past few months I rebuilt it from scratch for modern Wear OS (and Android phones) and working on getting it cross-platform with Garmin and IOS. It's called Together again:

- ✏️ Draw a little doodle, 📷 send a photo, or 💬 send text/emoji — from your watch or phone.

- It shows up instantly as the other person's watch face background + on their phone.

- Works for couples or small groups, with a cute streak counter and a quick-reply tile.

- Custom Watch Face Format face with configurable complications.

I'd love some testers to help me shake out bugs before a wider release.

You'll need a paired Wear OS watch + Android phone to get the full experience. Feedback, bug reports, and "this reminds me of…" stories all very welcome. 🙏
