1. How do I install a watch face on my Apple Watch?

To install a watch face using the Daily Watch Faces app:

  • Open the app on your iPhone
  • Choose any face design you like
  • Tap “Install” and follow the on-screen sync instructions
  • The face will appear on your Apple Watch within seconds

This allows for quick Apple Watch customization with just a few taps.

2. Why isn’t the new watch face showing on my Apple Watch?

If the watch face isn’t appearing after installation, try the following:

  • Make sure your Apple Watch is connected, unlocked, and paired with your iPhone
  • Reopen the app and reapply the watch face
  • Ensure you’ve granted all required permissions, including:
    • Location Access (for weather & real-time data)
    • Health Access (for steps, heart rate, sleep, etc.)

You can manage these in your iPhone’s Settings > Privacy and Settings > Health > Apps sections.
Once permissions are enabled and devices are synced, your watch face should appear correctly.

3. How do I enable Apple Health access for fitness data on my watch face?

To show heart rate, steps, sleep, calories, distance, and more:

  • Go to Settings > Health > Apps > Daily Watch faces & Widgets

Enable all required permissions.
This allows fitness data to sync and display live on your watch face.

4. How do I allow location access for weather widgets?

To enable real-time weather:

  • Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services

Enable location for our Daily Watch faces & Widgets app.
This allows the weather complication to display accurate conditions on your watch face.

5. Why is my weather widget not showing correct information?

If the weather widget on your Apple Watch isn’t displaying accurate info, try the following:

  • Make sure your iPhone is connected to the internet (Wi-Fi or cellular)
  • Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services
  • Find our app and set location access to “Always” or “While Using the App”
  • Turn Precise Location ON for the most accurate weather data

This ensures your apple watch face displays real-time, hyper-local weather updates.

6. How do I add Full Display Watch Faces?

To add a Full Display watch face to your Apple Watch:

  • Open the Daily Watch Faces app on your iPhone
  • Keep the Daily Watch Faces app open on your Apple Watch
  • Select a face from the Full Display section in the app gallery
  • Tap “Install” and follow the on-screen instructions

Once synced, your new face will appear under the “Full Display Clock” section in the Apple Watch app. It will cover the entire screen, giving you a bold, immersive look.

7. How do I keep Full Display watch faces always on?

To keep your Full Display watch face visible for a longer time:

  • On your Apple Watch, go to: Settings > General > Return to Clock
  • Select “After 1 hour” instead of the default setting

This setting prevents your watch from automatically switching back to the default watch face too quickly, allowing your Full Display face to stay active longer.

8. How can I track birthdays, weddings, vacations, or retirement countdowns?

To display countdowns on your Apple Watch face:

  • Open the app and choose from the event-specific countdown watch faces or widgets
  • Go to the Settings section on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch
  • Select your event type — Birthday, Wedding, Vacation, or Retirement
  • Set the event name, date, and any other details
  • Once saved, your watch face will automatically display a live daily countdown

You can customize the style of the countdown widget, and it updates in real-time to keep you on track for your big day.

9. How often does complication data update on the watch face?

Complications update automatically every few minutes, depending on the type of data and system performance. In general:

  • Most complications refresh every 15 minutes or sooner
  • Critical data (like heart rate, steps, and weather) may update more frequently

Update timing can vary based on Apple Watch model, battery settings, and system behavior

10. How do I use Family Sharing with this app?

Our app supports Family Sharing! To use:
