This article presents a systematic review and design space for visualizations on smartwatch faces. A smartwatch face serves as a small data dashboard, displaying a variety of data in a compact form. However, the usage context and form factor of smartwatch faces pose unique design challenges. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of visualization designs for popular premium smartwatch faces, deriving a design space that can guide new data displays for smartwatch faces and other small displays. It concludes with a research agenda for smartwatch visualization design.
