apple watch dial

You have an Apple Watch, but you want to make it a little more “you”. You want to personalize it and change the watch face to make it unique and stylish, something that really suits you. But how do you do that? You don’t want to be stuck with the default watch face you have now, but you also don’t know how to navigate the settings or how to change the watch face. Plus, you might have a hard time finding unique and creative watch faces or you’re not sure which watch face would best suit your needs. Plus, you might be afraid of doing something wrong.

But don’t worry, leapp is here to help. We are an expert on Apple products and we know everything there is to know about the Apple Watch. We are going to help you navigate the Apple Watch settings, teach you how to change the watch face, and help you find unique and creative watch faces.

To start, Apple offers a wide range of watch faces to choose from. Although these are standard watch faces, they can be customized in terms of color or type of information (the date, the weather, etc.). To customize the watch face, follow these steps :

  1. 1. Tap the screen of your Apple Watch to activate the watch face.
  2. 2. Swipe from left to right across the screen to cycle through the watch faces.
  3. 3. Select the desired watch face.
  4. 4. If necessary, adjust the selected watch face by long-pressing the screen.

Alternatively, you can also change the watch face via the Watch app on your paired iPhone . Open the Watch app and go to the "My Watch" tab. Then, tap "Watch Faces" and select the watch face you want from the list of available options. You can also use the Watch app to customize the settings of the chosen watch face.

Although you can customize the standard Apple watch faces to your own style, we understand that you may not find this personal enough. That is why we also have a step-by-step plan for creating your own watch face. You can create your own watch face with a personal photo. To do this, you must do the following:

  1. 1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone and choose a nice photo.
  2. 2. Tap the share button below the photo.
  3. 3. Select the “Create Watch Face” option.
  4. 4. Choose from a portrait, regular photo or a kaleidoscope inspired by the photo.

Of course it is super fun to have a nice memory or your pet as a watch face. But you could also search the internet for images of your favorite artist, painting or favorite flower. Simply take a screenshot of this and set it as a watch face. Let your creativity run wild and personalize your Apple Watch !
