WatchMaker review
A large face catalog and detailed creation tools suit people who want control over their watch face.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WatchMaker combines a browsable collection of community and creator-designed watch faces with tools to customize existing designs or create new ones from scratch. It is aimed at smartwatch owners who want more than a fixed set of presets, especially people interested in adjusting a face in detail or sharing their own designs. The current listing describes a catalog of over 150,000 faces, and WatchMaker is available on web, Android, and iOS.
Customization spans colors, layouts, hands, fonts, backgrounds, and complications. Creation tools also support animations, 3D elements, and video backgrounds, alongside calendars, countdowns, stopwatches, weather, and battery widgets. Users can share created faces with the WatchMaker community. For compatible Wear OS watches, complications are documented for Wear OS 2.0; Studio also supports multiple selectable styles for Wear OS faces. This breadth makes the product a fit for makers and collectors, though people seeking only a simple ready-made dial may not need its editing depth.
A free plan is available, while the published subscription plans offer unlimited access to all watch faces, customization of any face, weekly designer packs, and an ad-free experience. Monthly costs $4.99 per month; Yearly costs $39.99 per year. The paid tiers are most relevant to users who expect to browse broadly and keep customizing, rather than occasional users content with free access. WatchMaker is a stronger match for people who value a deep catalog and creative control than for those who want a minimal face app or whose watch compatibility depends on newer Wear OS complication documentation.
