The best part of any smartwatch, especially the Apple Watch Series 6 smartwatch, is that the watch face can be changed to your liking, all thanks to watchOS 7. You can choose from a variety of watch faces—be it a lovely Disney-inspired watch face or an elegant watch face with only hands. And guess? You can now add custom watch faces to your Apple Watch.
There are two ways to go about it. First, you can tweak and modify existing watch faces. For example, you can add photos from your phone’s gallery to add a personal touch to your watch. Or, you can install a third-party app like Facer to add custom watch faces to your Apple Watch.
At the same time, you can tailor the complications to your preferences. For those unaware, complications are less informative on the watch face. For example, the battery percentage in the top left corner is a complicated matter.
Now that we’re done, here’s how you can add and customize watch faces.
How to Add Custom Watch Faces to Apple Watch
Method 1: Through the Built-in Library
The Watch app’s face library opens the door to dozens and dozens of watch faces. The best part is that they are well categorized, making it easier for you to find something you like. In addition to the available faces, the Watch app also allows you to add photos and emojis to these watch faces. If this method interests you, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap on the Face Gallery tab. Now, scroll down until you see the option for Photos. Touch it to select it.
Step 2: Next, tap the Album or Photos option at the bottom to select a photo.
Currently, you can select up to 24 individual photos. Once done, tap the Add button.
Step 3: Now scroll down to edit complications. Tap on either option and select the complication of your choice.
Here you have options like Compass, Reminders, Heart Rate etc. Choose the two complications that best suit your requirements.
Once done, tap Add to add the watch face you just designed to the My Watch section.
Step 4: Now go to My Watch section to see the new watch face. Click to select it.
Scroll down and select Set as Current Watch Face. The best part is that you can see the moments right before the photo if you choose Live Photos.
You can also follow the steps above for the Memoji watch face.
But at the end of the day, Photo Watch Faces don’t give you as many options as other watch faces. You can put just two complications to play, and that’s all. Besides, the full-bright screen can also drain the battery a lot.
So, if you want loads of things to show up when you lift your wrist, the best option is to tweak the complications of some of the existing watch faces.
To do so, select any watch face. In our case, we chose to continue with the Meridian watch face. These watch faces have 3-4 complications, making it easy to keep the important things at the top.
All you need to do is choose the complications to your liking. Once done, tap Add and then apply the watch face to your watch.
Method 2: Via a third-party app
As noted earlier, third-party apps like Facer also allow you to add custom watch faces to your Apple Watch. Facer is a freemium app and comes with both free and paid watch faces. So naturally, when it comes to customizing watch faces, the free version has fewer options. For example, you can only add one complication.
However, if you’re going to upgrade, Facer opens up more customization options and watch face layouts.
Step 1: Open Facer and switch to the Home tab. Tap the ‘Create your own design’ button at the top.
Step 2: Select one of the watch faces and tap the Plus icon. This will show you all the complications you can add. Choose one according to your preference.
Repeat the above step for complications. Tap one of the shapes to do so.
Step 3: Once everything is added, tap the Blue icon in the center to push the watch face to the Watch app.
Again, the usual rules apply. Go to the Watch app to apply the new watch face.
In addition to custom watch faces, Facer offers a mix of free and paid watch faces. For example, we love some minimal faces. But at the end of the day, these watch faces associate with some specific layout. This means that you cannot have any random layout that you choose. That said, the layout is realistic and will get your job done.
face to face
Naturally, adding the necessary complications to the face of the Apple Watch makes it more practical to use. Finally, just lift your wrist to see important details, such as reminders, steps taken, or how much water you drank that day.
To get the most out of your Apple Watch, you can also add a few apps that support complex functions to your phone to get the most out of your watch. For example, you can add Shazam if you want to identify the song immediately. However, keep in mind that your smartwatch battery can be affected if you go overboard with the watch face.
