To cancel a watch faces subscription, go to the app store that processes the payment — Apple, Google Play, or Samsung Galaxy Store — and cancel from your account’s subscription settings. Deleting the watch face app from your phone or watch does nothing to stop billing. The subscription agreement lives in your app store account, not inside the app itself, so the charges continue until you cancel through the right settings screen.
Deleting the App Will Not Stop the Charges
This is the mistake that costs people the most money. You can remove a watch face app from your phone, factory-reset your watch, or switch to a new device entirely, and the recurring charge keeps hitting your card on schedule. The subscription is tied to your Apple, Google, or Samsung account. Until you open that account’s subscription list and cancel, the app store treats you as an active subscriber.
Find Out Which Platform Is Billing You
Check your bank or credit card statement for the merchant name. Apple charges typically show as “apple.com/bill.” Google charges appear as “GOOGLE*” followed by the app or service name.1Apple Support.

Your original confirmation email is the fastest way to identify the app, the renewal date, and the price. If you can’t find it, the subscription management screen on each platform lists every active subscription tied to your account.

Pausing Instead of Canceling

Getting a Refund for Past Charges
Cancellation stops future billing but doesn’t reverse a charge you’ve already paid. Each platform runs its own refund process.
Apple
Go to reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in. Find the charge in your purchase history, select “I’d like to,” then choose “Request a refund.” Pick a reason and submit.6Apple Support. Request a Refund for Apps or Content That You Bought From Apple Apple typically responds in 24 to 48 hours. Eligibility varies, and Apple doesn’t publish a specific window during which refunds are guaranteed. Approved refunds go back to the original payment method.
Google Play

Learn About Google Play Refund Policies For standard refund requests on subscriptions you no longer want, Google reviews the request and emails a decision.
Disputing the Charge With Your Bank
If the app store denies your refund or you keep getting charged after canceling, you can file a dispute (a chargeback) with your credit or debit card issuer. Log in to your card’s online account or call the number on the back of the card.8Federal Trade Commission. How to Stop Subscriptions You Never Ordered
Treat this as a last resort. Chargebacks can get your account flagged, and some app stores suspend future purchases if they see repeated disputes. Exhaust the platform’s own refund process first.
Your Rights if the App Blocks Cancellation

A watch face app that buries its subscription terms, makes cancellation intentionally hard, or fails to tell you clearly that a free trial will convert to a paid subscription is violating federal law. You can file a complaint with the FTC at ftc.gov. The FTC has pursued enforcement actions against companies that hide automatic renewal terms.
