The Apple Watch is already part of the lives of many of us. A device configured to receive notifications, calls and keep track of the physical activity we perform. Apple's smart clock is improving with each type of watOS, its operating system. However, has content pending: personalization.
While Apple Watch owners can choose the strings to use and create calls using images stored on our iPhone (or choose one from the catalog that the company makes available to users), you miss being able to customize spheres and problems. In fact, one of the community's biggest wishes is a store where developers can post their own.
Developer David Smith has created an app called Watchsmith do more with our Apple Watch and customize it to suit the owner with many options that have never been seen before.
Lots of potential problems

One of the key points of Watchsmith is that problems are a common misconception. It can be fixed will be replaced in the Apple Watch category due to seasonal workers. In the future, it will add new trigger options based on other factors. For example, we can show weather information in the early morning, then use the calendar and, in the afternoon, details of body work.
Smith is aware that the Apple Watch is not a mechanical watch that can vary in performance, and emphasizes that, in some cases, the difficulty is hidden by the clock's hands, preventing its occasional readings. He has also given part of the development to address it. Currently, Watchsmith including personalized issues of this nature:
