[KNA008] COMBINE

Review by eFreeware

Most watch faces decide for you what sits on the dial. KNA008 COMBINE takes the opposite route: five complication slots that you fill with whatever data you care about, from weather and world clocks to sunrise, sunset and a barometer. That flexibility is the distinctive part, and it is what makes this face interesting to anyone who owns a Wear OS watch and has grown tired of designs that show the same three numbers forever.

It is a paid download at $1.49, with no ads and no in-app purchases attached to it. The developer, KNA TH Watch Faces, lists it under Art & Design, and it requires Wear OS 5 or newer, so older watches are out of the running before anything else matters. If your watch runs that version, the question becomes whether the customization on offer matches the way you actually use your wrist.

What you get on the dial

The face covers the basics you would expect and a few you might not. Time can be shown in either twelve or twenty-four hour format, and the dial carries the date along with the day of the week and the month. There is a moon phase circle for anyone who likes that sort of detail, and the developer describes the weather forecast as realistic, which is a claim worth taking as marketing rather than a guarantee of accuracy.

The more useful part is the tracking. Steps, heart rate, battery level, calories and distance in either miles or kilometers can all appear on the face, alongside a next event field, an unread message count, and sunrise and sunset times. None of this is unusual for a modern watch face, but having them all available at once, arranged to your taste, is the appeal here.

The developer warns that certain watches may not support every feature. That is worth keeping in mind.

Ten styles and nine colors to arrange

Customization runs through two menus: touch and hold the display, then tap the customize option. From there you can pick among nine colors and ten styles, which together give a fair range of looks without turning the process into a project. Ten styles is enough to shift the character of the dial noticeably, and nine colors is a reasonable palette rather than an overwhelming one.

The five complication slots are where the real personalization sits. The developer's example is choosing weather, a world clock, sunrise and sunset, or a barometer for those slots. In practice that means the same face can lean toward travel information on one watch and fitness data on another, depending on what you assign.

Setting it up takes a deliberate step

One thing the developer is explicit about: a watch face does not apply itself after installation. You have to set it on the watch screen manually. The instructions here are direct about it.

Installation is meant to happen through the Wear OS watch, and the developer provides an alternative route for cases where installing from a phone does not work. Two older Samsung models, the Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Active, run a different platform and are therefore unsupported. Checking that your watch meets the Wear OS 5 requirement before buying is the sensible first move.

A face for people who like to tinker

This is built for Wear OS 5 watch owners who treat the dial as something to configure rather than something to accept. If you want your steps, heart rate and battery visible alongside the date and a weather reading, and you enjoy deciding which slot holds what, the five editable complications are the reason to consider it.

The moon phase circle and the sunrise and sunset fields point to a slightly different audience too: people who like their watch to reflect the day outside as well as their own activity. Between the two, there is a fair amount of information on offer for a single dial.

It is less obviously suited to someone who wants a face that works immediately without any arrangement, or who prefers a design where every element is fixed and balanced by the designer. The customization here is the point, and it asks a little of you in return.

How it has fared so far

The face arrived on March 21, 2024, and was updated on August 30, 2026, which suggests the developer is still tending to it. It has passed 10,000 installs and holds a 3.9 average from 98 ratings. That is a decent score rather than a glowing one, and with a relatively small number of ratings behind it, I would treat it as a rough signal rather than a settled verdict.

For a paid watch face, a score in that region is not alarming, but it does mean the design will not please everyone. The screenshots and the feature breakdown are what you have to go on.

A configurable dial for Wear OS 5 watches

KNA008 COMBINE makes sense if you own a Wear OS 5 watch and want a face you can reshape around the data you actually check. Five editable complications, ten styles, nine colors, a moon phase circle and the usual fitness and battery readouts add up to a dial that can be arranged to suit several different habits.

The requirements are the real filter: Wear OS 5 or newer, installation through the watch, and a manual step to apply it once it is there. If your watch meets those conditions and you enjoy setting up your own layout, this is a reasonable candidate. If you would rather the designer made those choices for you, the appeal is thinner.
