This is how you set a photo album as an Apple Watch dial

Photo album as Apple Watch dial

If you have one beautiful photo that you would like to use as an Apple Watch face, you can do so. You can make your own clock face from this photo. But sometimes you have many more photos or you want an ever-changing picture on your wrist. Which can! Follow the steps in this article to find out how to do this.

• Create or choose photo album
• Set album
• Make a clock face

Create or choose photo album

Before you can start, you will first have to determine which photos you want to see. Create an album in the Photos app on iPhone with the photos you want to see. You can also use a Retrospective if you don’t feel like putting something together yourself.

Select album

You now need to indicate in the Watch app which album you want to sync:

1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Go to Photos and turn on Photo Sync.
3. Scroll down and select which photo album you want to use for your changing watch face under Sync album.
4. Indicate how many photos you want to sync. 24 photos are sufficient for a dial.

In this case, we choose an album of self-made photos from Apple Stores in Singapore.

Make a clock face

All you have to do is create the clock face:

1. Go to the Watch Faces tab in the Watch app on iPhone.
2. Scroll down to the Photos watch face and tap it.
3. Choose Add.

Every time you now lift your wrist a different photo will appear. Would you rather have a separate photo that always remains the same? Then check out our tip about making your own clock face.
