Huawei UK forum member dodge coded a nifty cross-platform app named Huawei Watch Face Maker, so that smartwatch owners can easily design custom watch faces.Įxisting smartwatches such as Huawei Watch GT and Honor Watch Magic are supported by this utility. Huawei fans are not happy with the situation, so someone actually took the matter in own hands. A third party alternative exists, but the feature set is still limited. You need a beta version of Huawei Health app and a Chinese forum account to design the watch faces. The Chinese tech giant began working on a way to materialize this highly anticipated feature, but the initial outcome was rather clumsy.

Unfortunately there was no way to create custom watch faces for Huawei/Honor watches for a long time. Huawei decided to take a different route, as they designed an in-house OS dubbed as Huawei Wearable Platform. On the other hand, Samsung also set up their own ecosystem where creative minded people can design new watch faces for their Tizen powered wearable series. Google provides various templates and code samples so that themers can publish stunning (sometimes weird!) custom faces for your handy little assistant.

Wear OS (aka the trimmed down version of Android for smartwatches) does natively support custom watch faces.

However, I really like the way smartwatches can adopt newer watch faces which is almost a no-no for orthodox watches. My phone works wonderfully in this context, so no need to carry yet another gizmo. I’m not really not a wristwatch person – neither traditional nor the ‘smart’ ones.
