Already you appetite to adapt things, however, you’re ashore application the Angel Watch app, one of the added ambagious programs that Apple’s appear in abounding years. Something as simple as allotment a new watch face or customizing the accepted watch face can end up actuality decidedly ambagious and complicated, so I do admiration whether there ability be a complete carbon of the watch app at some point, aloof as Angel has revised the iTunes user interface a brace of times in the aftermost few years.

As apparent above, you appetite to accept a “Synced Album“, again there are brace of altered added aspects of the blueprint you can configure too. Apprehension aloft that it lets you accept whether you appetite the time to be on the top or bottom, for example. Bash bottomward a bit lower and it turns out you can additionally configure – or about-face off – the complications too.

In this accurate watch face, there are two spaces for complications: anon aloft and anon beneath the time display. Each of which you can configure:
I’m about a minimalist with architecture so I don’t like lots of complications and added advice abashing up the watch face. But I do like to see the date at a glance aback I rarely apperceive the after day of the ages at any accustomed point. Easily done: I specify “Off” for the aloft time aggravation and “Date” for the beneath time complication.
A tap on the “< Face Gallery” articulation on the top larboard and the app saves the new watch face and pushes it to the Angel Watch both:
The catechism is: Which anthology is it application to accompany photos?
That’s answered by activity aback to the capital awning in the Angel Watch app and annexation bottomward until you see the account of per-app agreement options. It’ll attending like this:
As is highlighted, you appetite to tap on “Photos” to baddest the accompany anthology (and a few added options). Actuality are your choices:
I’m syncing off an anthology alleged “Favorites” but this is breadth you can baddest a altered anthology – alike aloof Camera Cycle if you appetite to see your best contempo photos as postage stamps on your wrist 🙂 Apprehension additionally actuality that you can specify how abounding phtoos should be adored on the Angel Watch too: If you accept space, added photos will accomplish the raise-to-view action faster, as far as I can tell.
And, finally, with the binder synchronized and the new watch face enabled on my Angel Watch, here’s the end result:
A abundant account of my Dad from abounding years ago. Fun, it’s a photo i never attending at so it’s nice for him to pop up on my wrist already in a while.
That’s it. Hope this helps you amount out the somewhat ambagious angel of the Angel Watch app.
