WE LOVE THE Apple Watch, but sometimes we wish that there was more customization than Apple allows. While we can change the colors and complications of a face, the choice can feel limited. The App Store can help. Two apps in particular, Watchsmith and Facer (aka Watch Faces by Facer on the App Store), can design new complications and supply you with entirely new watch faces too.
Both apps focus on different customization options. Watchsmith is designed primarily around complications - the handy little nuggets of information, such as weather data, activity circles and calendar events. And Facer is more about changing up entire watch faces, with collections of original designs available from both leading artists and well-known brands.
In this tutorial, we'll discover how you can use these apps to completely customize your Watch. We'll stick with both apps' free features; you can unlock more features and faces via in-app purchases but, as we'll see, you can do a lot for free.
HOW TO Customize your Apple Watch
1 Select a face
Although Watchsmith provides some useful Apple Watch tools, its core job is to create new complications for your watch faces. To do that it's just a matter of scrolling through the faces to decide what face you want to edit.
2 Give permission
Most complications require data from core apps - Fitness complications need access to Health; Maps needs access to location, and so on. Tap Manage Permissions and authorize the data you want to let Watchsmith use.
