 So you have created an awesome watch with WatchMaker and you want to distribute through Google Play? Well, from WatchMaker 3.3.0 this is now possible!
+The watches you sell will be available for users with Android Wear, TicWatch2 or even Tizen watches (Samsung Gear S2/S3)!
 You can create "WatchMaker Watch Packs" with one or more watches inside. The APK will contain the Pack Name and will contain the embedded watch file(s) which in themselves, will contain embedded images and fonts.
+Take a look [[https://play.google.com/store/search?q=wmwatch&c=apps|here]] to see what WatchMaker designers have already built!
+Please note users who wish to use the exported APK require a premium version of WatchMaker to run the APK.

   * Make sure you are on the watch preview screen (hit back if you are already on the edit screen).
   * Hit Export / Share
+  * You can use protected watch files if needed
   * A watch file has now been created at BeautifulWatches/export, e.g. steel-green.watch
   * Send this file to your PC / MAC as you will need this in the next step below.
   * Please do not use any copyrighted watch designs or well known brands e.g. Disney / Marvel, otherwise Google will likely remove your apk's and possibly ban your developer account.

   * If you need to make changes to your apk, you can re-publish and WatchMaker will keep the watch up-to-date
   * If a user uninstalls your apk, it will be removed from "My Watches"
+==== Paid Watches ====
+  * Feel free to make paid watches - in fact many of the most popular APK examples are paid!
+  * You will not need to pay any commission / license fee to WatchMaker
+  * You will of course have to follow the normal Google Play distribution rules - i.e. one-time $25 payment to Google to get a developer license and 70/30% revenue split with Google.
