One of the easiest things to customize about a smartwatch is the watch face, which can switch from something akin to an analog display, to something a bit more creative courtesy of colorful pictures.

Despite the fact that Goole launched Android Wear in 2014, it’s taken the company quite some time to launch its own watch face, leaving that particular work up to manufacturers and third-parties. That changes today, though, as the company has officially launched its first Android Wear watch face, entitled “Street Art.” The imagery therein was put together from dozens of artists within the Google Art Project, but there isn’t a lot of configuration options for some settings.

There are three watch face options to choose from when it comes to displaying the time, from minimal, digital and analog. The minimal style simply uses small circles to display the time utilizing an analog layout, while the digital option simply displays the time quite simply at the bottom of the watch face. As far as configurable options, it looks like users can choose to either show or hide the date, and that’s about it.

The Street Art watch face is available now in the Google Play Store as a free download.
