I have to wonder if sites like these that start sharing copyrighted images among their members for use with Watch faces will get targeted at some point. This is really not all that different from sharing ringtones.

Also please make the image resolution exactly 312 × 390

Sorry, iOS's Photos app doesn't do an exact resolution, so mine have all been different. Shouldn't matter anyway since the 38mm model has a smaller screen, too.

How is this any different from sharing wallpapers for iPhone iPads etc.?

It's a subtle distinction for sure. Technically sharing copyrighted material for any purpose is illegal. However, watch faces are custom cropped for the specific application of conveying the time, and is therefore something a copyright holder might engage in the business of selling designs for this purpose. A wallpaper for an iPhone or Mac is just a picture in the background, which doesn't particularly require any alterations. So that's why I say it's closer to a ringtone which is altering a copyrighted property in a custom manner for the specific application of the product, for which the copyright owner might otherwise be able to sell their copyrights for this use.

I'm just throwing it out there. There's a fine line here which would be even finer if these wallpapers were allowed to be put behind analogue clock faces, with images like a Rolex watch face.

Saw this site earlier, if it was posted before, I apologize.
Nothing extremely creative, but a few designs some may like. I tested a few out..just messing around. The classic Casio is..eh. The mercury display area could be a little darker.

The Casio is great. I especially like it because it's sticking it to idea of not being able to use a copyrighted watch face on the Watch -- just rip off a digital watch! Ha!

Or black, so the time will look like a negative LCD display.
