customize the smartwatch just one watch face. Don't be fooled by the name: “watch face” is just the English wording with which they taught us to define the face of smart watches. Of all of them: from Apple Watch to Samsung Galaxy Watch up to all other similar products currently on the market. Most of these devices in fact allow the user to change this one aspect so as to stand out from all the others. But how to do it?
Customizing the smartwatch: the pre-installed watch faces
Almost all smartwatches on the market allow users to customize the dial. The mechanism is almost identical: each device is accompanied by an application that allows you to set it according to your needs, watch face included.
It applies to Apple Watch with the Watch app, for Samsung with Galaxy Wearable, for Huawei and Honor with Health, for Amazfit with Mi Fit and for Wear OS by Google for all those watches that have relied on the Big G operating system.
Each of these apps provides a lot of watch faces, designed to adapt to different situations and different needs. In fact, the dials are not a mere aesthetic element but the mirror of who you are and what you do with your watch.
Let's take a concrete example.
Let's take Apple Watch. The Watch Face Gallery includes many watch faces where the only variables are the background and the position of the time. Alongside these dials, however, there are more complex ones, which show useful information to the owner of the watch, from the heartbeat to the calories burned, passing through the weather, calendar and moon phases.
How do i choose the right watch face? In reality there is no perfect dial. You will probably need and want different things at different stages in your life. Hence the need to change and experiment with something new until you get to that specific moment, the one in which you realize that the official apps have no new watch faces to offer you.
Don't panic though: once you run out of the pre-installed ones you can rely on external applications to find the right watch face.
The best apps to change watch face
A little search within the App Store and Play Store is enough to find a flood of applications that promise to give new life to the smartwatch. After trying several, we suggest you 4 which are particularly easy to consult and use.
