Post custom watch faces for Apple Watch [Merged]

[archrider]

1. On your Iphone open the Apple watch App.

2. Hit the face gallery icon at the bottom.

3. Under Infogragh the second choice has a white circle with small circular complications in it.

4. Choose complications for that face that are mostly orange and white (the various world time complications fit the bill.)

5. Hit add and set it as your face.

Thank you so much, I should have seen that. So basically use a bunch of useless complications like four world clock complications to get this effect. I think Apple should work out a better way to do this since it's shown in their material.

They have done this in WatchOS 6 - it's now possible to make it two-tone entirely with different colours.

My album collection. I still wish Apple would let us choose the font and color of the date and time but oh well.

very nice indeed! unfortunately this should be a smartwatch, not a panel just showing a time and a date. even my former smartwatch was capable much more on 2012...

I totally agree. I have stopped using photo faces because of the lack of complications on them.

Quite happy with this one.
Stock apple apps are well known.
Subdial bottom is Waterminder, subdialtop is Obtain and corner slot right top is Cheatsheet.

I just now set mine to that face. So many things on it that I can use with a quick touch.

I use infograph modular and I didn't realize that regular infograph has a sunrise/sunset complication.

I love that watch face and would use it if I didn’t have a Series 3 watch 😞

I had that one last week and decided at the last minute to get the S5.

I wish I had the money to!

With a batch of new faces, this year a battle rages on my wrist for watch face supremacy. I actually like the options on WatchOS 6, unlike some understandable critics out there. Here are my latest configs. My daily driver is the new Solar Dial (still battling between analog or digital on that one) with Infograph Analog coming in second place and gets used most often if I‘m streaming content or messaging more often. California and the classic Solar Graph (not pictured) get honorable mentions. The Solar Graph on the Series Zero is one of the biggest reasons why I got the watch in the first place.

My California config strikes me as the heir to the Utility Face that never had its complications updated for the larger screens.

Which faces do you like this year?

Do you like the analog or digital better on the new Solar Dial face?
Been using the Digital more as it’s easier to read and looks good, but the Analog looks sharp too yet is harder to read against the backdrop of the 24-hour solar analog dial. A double analog whammy on the eyes.

My rule for complications is that it mostly shouldn’t be a static shortcut to an app. The Dock, Siri or the App Layout screen are best for that. A complication should reveal dynamic, useful data giving me timely information at a glance. My philosophy. Further, I think these faces excel when they are NOT trying to mimick physical/mechanical faces too closely. Why Solar Dial/Graph will always be my favorites.

I love these watch faces too. Shame I only have a S3 watch

I can’t see the reason why Apple won’t allow third party watch faces, that are compatible with complications

 

[CarlJ]

I can’t see the reason why Apple won’t allow third party watch faces, that are compatible with complications

Likely three reasons:
One, watch faces are hard to get right - it doesn't just have to handle all the various complications, it has to do everything while sipping as little power as possible under all circumstances.
Two, if they open a watch face store, they're going to get tens of thousands of submissions that all have to be evaluated to see if they handle all those things/situations right.
Three, there are indications that the people in charge of the Watch think they have exceptional taste and are providing us with all the watch faces we need.

Not that I agree with these reasons, and I'd love to experiment with building my own ideal watch face, if they ever released WatchFaceKit. But I can imagine that they have reasons.

I like how your watch keeps reminding you you ain't got nothing to do today.

I can think of a few; custom watch faces are reserved for special partners like Hermes and Nike.
If anyone could come up with their own watch faces, there would be no point in getting a Nike or Hermes AW, since these exclusive faces could be reproduced. Then there is the complication integration issue, especially with AOD being a thing now. Finally, using a custom AW face can increase your chances to brick your watch.

I got a few, but this is my fav!!

Yeah I love the infograph.

 

[cruppga]

Here's mine today.

 

[ReardenMetal]

Does anyone use or like the new monochrome color scheme on the Infograph faces? I haven't noticed anyone using them. I think they got the color mix wrong in terms of what elements are white and what elements get colorized on these. I like the idea behind them though.

 

[tomtattoo]

Yes me. At first I like them a lot, but then I start missing the "eye-guidance" of the colors:
green is battery, blue is waterminder and so on. It was always this millisecond to orientate where what is shown.

What watchface is this?

Got it from Jingwatch. A bunch of watch faces some free some a dollar or two. Loads like an app

I'm with you regarding the complications... They should provide information at a glance, and not just be shortcuts.

I haven't really used the Solar Dial, but will try it out... The analogue looks a bit out of place IMO and digital makes it way easier to read - going for that.

Hi.
This is my watch face for monday
It sucks because it's a third app and cant customize complications or have the always on but it is pretty.
