The Face Gallery section in the Watch app has tons of watch faces to choose from. It's also in this section you can customize and manage your Apple Watch faces. However, if you want to create a custom watch face or get an exciting one that’s different than what Apple offers, you have some easy options.
In this tutorial, we show you how to create and use beautiful custom watch faces on your Apple Watch.
Apple last Thursday seeded the first beta of the upcoming watchOS 7.1 software update to its registered developers, but the company's new Blood Oxygen app along with the new watch faces from watchOS 7.0 appear to be missing from the release. Here's what's going on...
Apple will release its major new watchOS 7 software update later today, in testing since the summer. Ahead of the launch, the company shared a cool video via its YouTube channel highlighting all the new Apple Watch faces available in watchOS 7.
One of the coolest things, and there are many, about the Apple Watch is that you can pick from a variety of faces. Along with the great options Apple gives you, you can also use one of your own photos as your Apple Watch background, and this tutorial shows you how to do that.
Many Apple Watch reviewers have singled out a lack of third-party watch faces in App Store as one of the most frequent complaints about the wearable device. But rival Samsung, which often brags about the thousands of downloadable watch faces for its own smartwatches, is now being sued over distributing cloned third-party ones in its Galaxy Store.
Third-party Apple Watch faces still haven't arrived. Despite this, there's now a way to create customized watch faces using the graphics rendering and animation tool, SpriteKit.
The gorgeous new motion faces in watchOS 5—Fire, Vapor, Water and Liquid Metal—are more special than Apple let on during the keynote. Surprisingly, they're not rendered or created using computer graphics. The attention to detail matters always so small wonder Apple has recorded them in a real studio where they set things on fire and used real water and vapor elements.
A brand new Apple Watch Pride face has been discovered in watchOS 4.3.1 software, inspired by the rainbow flag. Featuring threads of color, the Pride face animates very nicely and smoothly in a different way every time the user touches the screen.
Curious code strings Brazilian developer Guilherme Rambo has managed to unearth from the watchOS 4.3.1 beta could hint at future support for third-party faces on Apple Watch.
To help celebrate 2018, Apple has included a small Easter egg for Apple Watch owners. Once it strikes midnight, your Apple Watch face animates with fireworks.
As an avid Apple Watch user, I was excited to learn about a jailbreak tweak dubbed LockWatch by iOS developer Sniper_GER, which ports several of the Apple Watch’s watch faces to the Lock screen of jailbroken devices.
LockWatch continues to undergo development as of this writing, but it’s a fascinating to check the time on your iPhone precisely as you would when glancing at your wrist. Furthermore, the tweak supports both analog and digital watch faces, to provide options for those with personal preference.
Aside from bringing more intelligence and fitness features to Apple Watch, the new watchOS 4 software includes a bunch of beautifully animated Toy Story faces. Not unlike the existing Mickey and Minnie Mouse watch faces, the Toy Story ones bring to life popular Pixar characters including Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear, Ham, Rex and Bullseye.
Our own Andrew O'Hara did a quick video showing off almost all the character animations available in the new Toy Story watch faces in watchOS 4, including additional customizations.
Give the video a quick watch, then meet us in comments.

watchOS 4 packs in other new watch faces.
Kaleidoscope, for instance, turns static images into mesmerizing patterns and the new Siri watch face uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to display the information users need most throughout the day.
ROUNDUP: 60+ new features in watchOS 4
