One of the great advantages of Android as an operating system is that it offers a Large level of personalizationSo much so that we can not only change the color and shape of the icons of our mobiles, but also the complete interface, gestures, speed of animations and more.
Likewise, Wear OS, which in summary is the android of intelligent watches, also allows you to personalize the appearance of our clock thanks to the spheres, or “ watch faces '', the design that we see on the starting screen of the clock. There are many “watch faces” available via different applications, but also It is possible to make spheres or to cover completely personalized And in a few steps, yes, with a certain patience and a little creativity. We present our favorite options.
How (and why) create your own “watch faces” to wear the operating system
If it is true that there are many applications that offer access to the watch faces created by the user community and by real creative experts, both for free and on payment (one of my favorite coverage or watch faces allows you to convert my clock into a sort of retro but intelligent casio), one of the greatest advantages of having a smartwatch with wear Be able to create your own coverageCompletely personalized.
In other words, wear allows you to design your blanket from zero by choosing the police or source style, modifying complications in the cover, clock style, wallpaper and more. It is, like customization on Android, A way to express your style, your moodOr simply display the most important information on screen. This level of personalization is a great advantage compared to Apple smart watches.
If you have an intelligent watch with Wear OS, we recommend these three applications to create your own blankets. We have tried each of its advantages and differences, in particular with regard to its price.
Watchmaker (free, with payment option)
Watchmaker is a very popular application both to create your own watch faces and to download covers designed by the user community. It is available for free, but with limited characteristics and functions. To unlock all the creation tools (and also all the covers available), it is necessary to go through the box, but we will speak at the end of this section, because there is more than one option.
Once we have downloaded the application from Google Play Store, we can access the covers created by the community, the application guarantees that There are more than 100,000 options And that every day adds new. However, again, it is necessary to pay if we want to have unlimited access to all the covers.
The watchmaker's creation tool is complete, although a little ugly, is sincere; But always fulfills his mission. When accessing the publisher and starting a new project, we can press the “+” button to add new elements, choose a background, and more, and there are many options to personalize. The only problem is that most of the available options are only available if we pay the Premium version, but …
Something curious happens with this application. The application offers access to all tools via a subscription that costs around 3 dollars per month, but almost hidden in the application is available A purchase option for a single paymentwhich is at the price of around 12 dollars. If we pay this amount, we will have access to all the tools permanently without the need for a subscription. This can be done from the message that appears when you try to use a payment tool in creating Watchfes in the application, and I think it is worth it, it is a very complete application to create a coverage.
Watchmaker's watch faces
Whether you are looking for free or premium conceptions, the watchmaker has more than 100,000 clock spheres to explore, including the best brands and independent creators.
Facing (free, with purchases inside the application)
Faceer is, most likely, the most popular option on this list. And it is that Facers has not only a tool for creating covers or faces of watch, but its community offers its own personalized coverage via the application, it therefore serves as a market to find fascinating proposals of all kinds of style to personalize the appearance of your smart watch. There are thousands of options availableWith all types of prices and even many of them free.
As for the publisher, it can be used directly from its official website or by applying for Windows or Mac. The basic publisher can be used for freeBut if what you want are more creation options, including more sources, styles and other characteristics, a subscription to Facer Creator Pro is necessary, which has a price of around 5 dollars per month.
Different sources, styles, effects and more.
The basic editor allows us to include information on the climate, different watch sensors (such as heart rate), modify the text source and use personalized wallpaper. The “pro” version allows us to customize the colors, to add buttons to start applications, to personalize complications and more.
In general, The tool is very intuitive. Once we start a new project (start one of zero or using a pre-designed base), we can add or modify the elements of the left column and access more options such as modification of the style, source and source size in the lower bar. Once we have finished the project, click on the “send to the clock” button and the cover will appear available in the “Facer” application, in the “My Conceptions” section.
Factor – Wallpapers
Facer: CLOCK SPHHERES is the platform for personalization of spheres for Wear OS and TIZEN. Faceer offers everything you need to customize your OS or Tizen Watch OS, including 300.00 free and premium spheres.
Pujie (payment application, without free version)
Among all the options, Pujie is certainly my favoriteBecause it does not offer subscriptions or does not put obstacles when using the tools to create watch faces: everything is available with a single and relatively economical payment.
When you install Pujie on the mobile, the first thing we need to do is follow the instructions on the screen to install the Pujie application on the operating system clock, then we must select Pujie coverage on the clock, before we can start using the application to create our own personalized coverage. In addition, the application also It offers access to a series of pre-designed Watchfes that we can modify and customize, or use them directly.
And here the magic begins. The application is extremely complete and detailedSo much so that this can be an obstacle to certain people, because it has a certain learning curve. The important thing is to understand that we can modify the text, widgets, complications, watch style, watch background, we can customize quick access to certain tools, modify the color of each interface parts and more. Basically, each elements of the watch's face can be designed and personalized.
It is, as we have already said, a very complete tool, which also has a friendly and fluid interface, with an attractive design. The idea is to live and familiarize the many options offered by Pujie, and therefore Dominate this powerful personalization tool. Once we have finished creating a blanket, we can save it (by pressing the button in the upper right corner) and send it to the clock. All the covers we create will be stored in the application.
The price of Pujie is 3.99 dollars on Google Play Store. Again, it is a unique payment for an application that can undoubtedly be theto a more complete and capable tool to create watch faces Directly on the mobile, so if you are looking for extreme customization, this alternative is worth it.
Watch the faces – Pujie – Premium
Pujie Watch Faces is the final application of clock spheres for wear wear clocks. With Pujie, you can take the total design of the design of the sphere of your clock personalizing everything
