Use Custom Watch Faces on Galaxy Watch 3, Active & Active 2

After the launch of Galaxy Watch Active 2, Samsung has introduced custom watch faces for Galaxy Watches. On our watches, we know it as a My Photo+ that allows you to customize watch faces as per your requirements. Before the launch of My Photo+, it was impossible to change the themes as per your need expect colors. With the help of My Photo+ or custom watch faces you can use your own picture on the watch faces. You can also add your favorite outfit colors or your favorite wallpaper to the smartwatch. You can use the custom watch faces on all-new Galaxy Watch Active, Active 2 & Galaxy Watch 3 smartwatches.

We haven’t sure the first generation Galaxy Watch supports it or not, though you can check it manually when I tell you how to use it.

In the other list, Huawei has launched it on Watch GT 2 & GT 2e, Honor on MagicWatch 2, Huami on Amazfit GTR, GTS, T-Rex & Verge 2, and Apple on new Apple Watches.
