Apple Watch Face Questions

Someone in my household just got an Apple Series 11 Watch and wants me to add a few faces for her to choose from. So…I have a few Apple watch face questions.

How to make the Slideshow of multiple images show animated on the watch face preview image? I see on other people’s profiles the slideshow is animated on preview, but on my Apple designs the slideshow does not show on preview. It only shows the 1st image.

I have already added a few Apple Faces. I see that there are a lot of limitations, but are there any work arounds?

Can you add a custom color for text besides the colors provided? I just want to have black as a choice.

Can you add custom Fonts?

Forgive me if this has already been covered or if there is an easy fix.
As always, a huge thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Beth! :grinning:
I’ll try to answer your questions in order.

  • Facer uses the slideshow when the watch faces are installed based on their timing for a tap on the face or wrist movement. As for previews, that is custom coding done by some of the partners.
  • We cannot add a custom color other than what Facer offers. ← That one drives me crazy at times!
  • No we cannot use black. ← I wish!!
  • No, we cannot use custom fonts. ← another Wish List item for Apple!

All you can do is to be as creative possible with the tools at hand. I suppose that is good exercise for the brain. Having said that I think there are some features that can be ported from an Apple Watch to Creator, but I have not tried that, so maybe someone with the watch will reply here.

I did a bit of research as some Apple watch faces do not seem to have been possible with Facer Creator.

Here the thread to that: No Blank Apple Face Template?
