watchOS 6 includes six new watch faces with even more customization options for personalizing your Apple Watch — if you have a Series 4 model. The upcoming software update is also coming to Apple Watch Series 1 through 3, but you'll need to upgrade your Apple Watch if you want to try out all the new watch faces.
Personalize your Apple Watch face so it looks the way you want and provides the functions you need. Choose a design, adjust colors and features, then add it to your collection. But, if your iPhone isn't handy, you can customize the face right on your watch.
New modular complications.From pace and cadence to Streaks and Featured Runs, the latest collection of Nike watch faces with new modular complications packs more into a glance. And you don't even have to raise your wrist thanks to the enhanced Always-On Retina display on Apple Watch Series 6.
InfographFor those obsessed with complications, the Infograph has been sent from watch face heaven – and it's our pick for the best Apple Watch face you can use.

Watch Face Albums is a free apple watch wallpapers app that you can download many beautiful and amazing wallpapers for your Apple Watch. All the watch faces are from free internet sharing or authorized by their owners. We suggest you download the whole album and sync them to your Apple Watch.
You may already be familiar with Facer, thanks to its earlier support for Android smartwatches where it has been regularly listed as one of the top applications for watchface creation. With a design tool at facer.io/creator, you can drag and drop onto an HD canvas text, shapes and images from its online library.
But, as we mentioned, JingWatch is not Apple-approved. And despite its developers saying that it's a safe and privacy-respecting platform, there can be no guarantees. It's particularly tricky because JingWatch and other apps like it haven't been vetted by Apple's strict App Store review process.
Your Apple Watch is water resistant, but not waterproof. * For example, you may wear and use your Apple Watch during exercise (exposure to sweat is OK), in the rain, and while washing your hands.

Each watch face has a limit of how many complications it can display at one time. Some, like Numerals Mono, don't allow any, while the Infograph face allows up to eight. Most allow somewhere between three and five.
In the Watch app on your iPhone, tap the Face Gallery icon at the bottom of the screen. The top row shows the new faces available with the latest version of watchOS, including Artist, GMT, Memoji, and Typograph. Tap the face you want to install and tap the Add button.
Choose the Right Watch FaceSo if you choose a watch face for your Apple Watch that's largely black, it uses less power. While you're at it, avoid watch faces that are animated (I'm looking at you Mickey Mouse) because moving all those pixels around uses more CPU cycles and therefore more battery power.
From here you can set both complications just like on the Apple Watch, and a Data Sources list lets you toggle apps that appear on Siri face on and off. watchOS 4.0 includes 14 data sources: Alarms, Breathe, Calendar, Home, News, Now Playing, Photos, Reminders, Stocks, Stopwatch, Timer, Wallet, Weather, and Workout.
Start by opening up the Android Wear app on your phone. Open up your list of watch faces and select WatchMaker to set it as the active face. Switch back over to your WatchMaker app. On the home screen select My Watches, which will bring up a list of all the watch faces you've made or added from the WatchMaker library.
Complications are one of the ways you can customize your Apple Watch face (in addition to choosing from a multitude of designs and colors). Complications display information from apps and can be directly added to Watch faces. Some basic examples include the date, weather, and battery life.
In the My Watch tab, go to My Faces. Swipe through your existing options to find the Infograph (or Infograph Modular) face, then tap it.
Apple Watch Series 3 has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean.
