Post custom watch faces for Apple Watch [Merged]

Some mock ups we have worked on and posting on one of our websites.

We HOPE/BEG/DEMAND that Apple allows 3rd party watch dial / faces like Android has. Honestly the one big BIG thing missing....

Ok, question about this photo. Anyone know what watch band this is?
ONE thing I love about the watch..swap a band, the watch has a complete new "personality"

As for watch faces..11 months on the market I would have thought there would be so many out by now. A few new faces..basically animated cities and a photo album from the 2.0 update...thats it. The face shown above, I'd buy it for $1.99 if Apple would let us!

Well I hope for new faces sometime soon, faces that can be purchased from the App store. I don't know..MAYBE these will be available by the next Apple Watch release in Q4.
 
It's the Bracelet from HyperLink. Personally I think it is the best current bracelet option.

On the watch faces I agree with you 1000000000%. Apple is really missing the boat with their customers. The only real complaint I hear from EVERYONE I know who has an Apple Watch is the lack of custom face/dial option like the Android smart watches have...

I decided I'd had enough of waiting for Apple to add seconds to the digital faces, so I whipped up a quick app.

A friend requested this one so I created it. Here is the Apple Watch Face file and some pics of it in action.

I don't even own an Apple Watch!

But I was playing with the math/ratios of a 4:5 display, and how circles intersect with it, and happened to come up with a Watch face design anyway!

This image is designed to make the brain see a circle LARGER than the actual display, using the black margin of the device. Other than that... just a simple color so the time is nice and readable in the corner. Other colors? Just ask. (Would be nice with an analog display too, but... not yet possible.)

I'd be curious to see how it works on an actual watch.

Received my 3rd party purple sport band today and did a Prince tribute watch face with some favorite pics for my watch. I like that the "Watch photos" album automatically rotates through them. Haven't played with this feature much. Kind of fun feature. Here's a few from watch currently:

I'm not a big PS guy but if someone is willing and able to do a mockup of the IWC Portuguese with the gray face I'd love it.

TIA

What apps are the apple logo and the steps counter?
Click to expand...
The Apple logo is through the Monogram app & the one that shows the steps is HealthView. I used Pedometer++ before but it would only show the steps in the largest complication and I like to have the weather on that one.

My step count doesn't seem to automatically update once HealthView is added, seems to be stuck on 357. Strange!

I think it only updates every 15 minutes or so. Still counts in the background, but there's a limit to the frequency that complications can update themselves (battery concerns should a 3rd party complication go rogue, I presume).
