Create Own Watch Face For Samsung SmartWatch

Advertisement

Only the watch face factor forced us to purchase almost the same kind of traditional watches. But creativity no longer is chocked with the advent of open-source software running on a smartwatch. Smartwatches do have limitations at present but the watches running some open-source software make your development easier. Samsung is one of the pioneers of Tizen OS. They have a development platform for the smart TVs as well. But, definitely creating own watch face is a thing which will make a creator separate from the crowd. Many of us do wear shirts, tops with own artistic works. Custom watch faces a new addition.

Designing Tips

 

Basically we emulate the 3D effect with vector and raster tools. Samsung watches really have enough good PPI screens (if we consider present technological limits). Ultimately we do get some shadow & shine effects out of different angles. The things really arranged by Samsung for the artists those who design with Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop better than do better coding.

Create Own Watch Face For Samsung SmartWatch

Initially avoid using metallic colours. Metallic gloss on PSD is quite difficult to make realistic and looks on the watch unreliable. It is far easier to fake ordinary paint and plastic materials. You can look at YouTube videos like this one or this one to get inspiration. I have noticed that white, red, blue, black, yellow (hands), silver colour, the copper colour looks more realistic on Samsung watches. Do not replicate 100% of the traditional watches. You need modification of materials to give the feel of depth. Think the material like plastic, paper. Another thing is that – when you are wearing the watch on the left hand (with clock ON) than the 3D things at 90 degrees on the left side of the watch (3 o clock position) should be lesser to avoid looking unrealistic. Casino and Seiko watch faces are easier to replicate.

We believe that this article minimally helped the artistic humans who had less idea about how to connect the dots. There are too many websites at this moment which have lot of watch faces, even or free. It is a normal matter for Samsung to get fired by various companies for “copying”. Samsung ships with quite basic watch faces.
