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

Viewing problems

It was introduced a few hours ago, Watchsmith standard covers around 50 unique problems, fully customizable, the ability to change font, color, hand type and location. However, he plans to add many more in the future, as his goal is to provide a solution for each use.

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:

  • A standard training app with powerful metric information
  • Temporary training mode such as Tabata, EMOM and HIIT
  • Average heart rate
  • Training history with heart rate charts and more
  • An weather app with information for clicking hours and daily conditions
  • Workspace showing progress until closing rings
  • A heartbeat app that shows your beats all day
  • Respiratory app to think
  • Calendar depicting next week's events
  • Time zone converter
  • An astrological app that shows the current position of the Sun, Moon and stars
  • A 360 degree version of the classic Pong game

The entire app was upgraded using SwiftUI, which allowed the developer to create a more powerful experience. While many features are free, there are some additional settings and styles that require active subscriptions. Watchsmith is now available for download from the App Store.
