How To Make Your Own Custom Apple Watch Face From Photos

My Apple Watch looks so pretty with art as the background, and that’s why I want to show you how to make custom watch faces for your Apple Watch, too.

We’re going to use photos from my 2021 Summer Collection of original landscape paintings.

Click here to grab your free set of images now. Then, follow the simple steps below:

Step 1: Create A Photo Album For Watch Faces

Open the Photos app on your iPhone. Tap “Albums” at the bottom of the screen. Click the plus sign toward the upper left to create a new album. I named mine, “Watch Faces.” Select the Summer Collection images, and add them to this album.

Step 2: Activate The Photos On Your Watch

Open the Watch app on your phone. Scroll down to tap “Photos.” Tap “Favorites” next to “Selected Photo Album” to change it to your Watch Faces album. Then click “Back.”

Step 3: Customize the Watch Face

Scroll to the top and tap the new “Photos” face. Customize as desired, and tap “Set as current Watch Face.”

That’s it! Now you can enjoy beautiful imagery on your watch. The images will automatically change each time you raise or tilt your wrist. Tell me in the comments which one is your favorite!

PS: You can also use the Summer Collection images as wallpaper for your phone and computer.
