Flavors Smart Rings

Flavors Smart Rings

This is a simple, fun, modern smart watch face that has a ring around the edge that shows your calories, steps, floors, active minutes, or seconds and can automatically change colors. In my opinion, it has a great "Always On" mode. I made this watch face for everyone: men, women and kids.
