There's so much more to a smart watch than a fully-customizable watch face.
While I fully believe that Apple should open up to third-party faces, I am quite content with the customization options that they offer now.
- ok123456 4y agoThere may be more, but it includes that functionality at the very least. That would be the absolute base line functionality of a watch that has a bit-mapped display.
- jaywalk 4y agoI'd argue that the success of the Apple Watch proves that you're incorrect.
- ok123456 4y agoSuccess? I've never seen one worn in real life. Personally, they're a less cool version of an 80s swatch.
- xen2xen1 4y agoYup, one of my favorite parts of having my last smart watch was making it look like a Fallout pip-boy. It would be required for me.
- yreg 4y agoI think they should give us the option to create watch faces, but don't care about it much. It's very far down my priority list of what I want from Apple Watch. As for the reasons why they don't, my speculation is the following (I'm not defending them): They are worried about custom watch faces that might perform poorly or draw too much battery. Watch is a challenging platform to develop for as watchOS is very protective of its resources and won't hesitate to kill your app. But Apple probably doesn't want to kill the watch face and at the same time doesn't trust the developers to develop their watch faces to Apple's standard.

- k4rli 4y agoIs there so much more? Unless using it for sports, it's basically an extension of your phone to serve notifications and that's it.
