There is quite a lot of buzz these days about the possibility of creating our own watch face on the Apple Watch. Currently, this feature is not available to Apple Watch owners but a few clever guys on the internet did experiment with tools to create ones. And the possibilities are endless. And quite exciting too.

> There is something sterile and compromising about choosing your watch face out of a fixed set of options. While the watchOS faces provide for a high degree of customization, there is something fundamentally different in being able to customize **every** single detail of the face. I started with a blank slate and was able to make the face look exactly how I wanted it. When displaying one of my creations it is now truly *my* most personal device ever.

From a [blog post](https://david-smith.org/blog/2018/10/12/exploring-custom-watchos-watch-faces/?ref=numericcitizen.me) by “David Smith”

I started to imagine how Apple could offer these possibilities. And the first thing that came to my mind was a Watch Face Construction kit. Something along the lines of a very old game, during the early days of personal computers, called [Pinball Construction Set](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinball%5FConstruction%5FSet?ref=numericcitizen.me). I would imagine the process would happen within the Apple Watch app on the iPhone and installing the watch face wouldn’t require a new app, just some kind of formating information bundled together and pushed to the watch. Even more interesting, Apple could create a new iPad app, a simulator, where people wold have ample space to imagine, create and publish their own personal work on their own watch.

But Apple is Apple, I can’t imagine this to become a reality for a while. Maybe in watchOS 6 and with more powerful Apple Watch Series 4 in the field.
