Creating a Watch Face - Chapter 7
Hi there!
This is the chapter 7 for the watch face making series.
In this video, you can see me developing a wattch face for the Amazfit GTR4.
This framework is the one used for wearOS (with slight modifications), so anyone familiar with it will be able to build watch faces for wearOS in Facemaker!
The watch face used for inspiration is called Exion N and it was designed by Brunen. All concept design credits go to him, here's a link for his instagram: / brunen.watch
