Developer Hamza Sood has managed to hack the Apple Watch to enable custom watch faces.

Sood announced the accomplishment on Twitter:

After some haxx... Custom watch faces on Apple Watch!


Sood also posted an Xcode project called "CustomWatchFaceTest" to GitHub to help other developers create custom watch faces for themselves. To install you'll need to get Carousel to load the dylib.

Check out his video demo below or hit the link for the GitHub project.

I'm one of many here that took care of the but hurt haters here. I don't go around posting shit on heir beloved android site because it's nothing but bringing jealous and asking for the taste of pain. It's like if Apple were to get involved, they would be focused on trying to fight back in ads. As much as I want them to do that, it would sink to samsungs levels of hurt. Why can't people just be happy with what they have and appreciate other companies work? I would have that sense for others if they would learn to stop bull shitting hate against Apple.
