Get # APPLE WATCH's New Photos Face in watchOS 11: A Picture-Perfect Upgrade

Last year’s APPLE WATCH was a must-have for die-hard Apple fans and any self-respecting digital dandy. As an extension of the APPLE ecosystem, the WATCH now includes the APPLE Music app, along with other robust features and a streamlined user experience, making it a must-have for any digital native who would like to extend their digital experience to their wrists. With watchOS 11, APPLE once again went one better, specifically with its redesigned Photos face that makes the watch much more dynamic and engaging.

The Evolution of Customization on APPLE WATCH

A Fresh Perspective on Photos

watchOS 11 blows it through a wormhole of customizable faces The Photos face, one of the APPLE WATCH’s core iPhone-to-watch customization options from the beginning, finally receives a much-needed revamp with watchOS 11. Instead of just getting dumped into a lookback mode that displays pictures you took on the same day in previous years, you now get the Photos mini-app that you use on your iPhone, so you can select from an array of possible curation parameters before the watch face shuffles to display the shots it picked.

Beyond Basics: A Deep Dive into New Features

The best of the new features is that instead of just showing one picture, the photo frame will rotate through six different ones under your control, or you can shuffle through any album on your iPhone, including a library of pictures that APPLE creates itself based on my iPhone’s records, such as photographs of People or Cities. Of course, in order for this new social sharing to work, you have to tell the iPhone which faces should be shown. It’s a bit of a deal with the devil in exchange for such customization, but a small one.

High Definition: Quality and Composition at Its Core

APPLE claims that the smart new Photos face ‘intelligently analyses’ the photos in your library, focusing on delivering the ‘best shots’ or the ‘most memorable’ images right to your wrist. The process isn’t perfect – especially if you take an unusual number of photos with non-standard aspect ratios – but the changes to the way the APPLE WATCH can present your favourite memories are clear.

Customization at Its Peak

I could even change the size of the time indicator, its font, and the overall shape of the face (seven settings) so that it looked completely different. The Watch makes available combinations of black and white, monotone, duotone, hundreds of tints of colour, or even textures. But textures? What could that possibly mean? Then I had a brilliant idea. Oh, the joy of playing with one’s newing toy! I would set up as many watch faces as I could, and then try to guess, one by one, which was which. It proved surprisingly difficult. Yes, but how about when I want to look at the time? Well, I would just press the side button. The Watch has a kaleidoscope of animated complications to add to the watch face.

A Test Drive: Bringing James Bond to the Wrist

To put the new features through their paces, a watchface featuring a moving face – in this case, cycling through a sequence of classic James Bond gun-barrel stills – was created, emphasising the sheer scope for personalisation, playfulness and creativity that comes with the new Photos face (provided you’re willing to don your big-boy pants and live with the result of a little tinkering in the iPhone’s Watch app).

A Slight Drawback

There’s a downside to not being able to create or fully configure the new Photos face directly on the APPLE WATCH, but almost every customization option is at your fingertips once you’ve set it up once on your iPhone. Most of the tweaks require no more than a single press.

Embracing Technology and Style

In terms of design, its aesthetic simplicity goes beyond merely beautifying an interface, or seducing you to hold your device in a certain manner. The new Photos face stands as a model for a future of APPLE products that seek to offer the warmth and humanity of intimate technology, to offer products as expressions of identity that are as personalised as ourselves. Whether it’s family pictures of children, or nature shots, or scenes from your favourite films, the APPLE WATCH becomes not merely a window to such images but a frame.

Maximizing the APPLE Ecosystem

The updates to the Photos face in watchOS 11 – which include greater resolution and a refreshed design mentality – is another example of how APPLE crafts its entire ecosystem so that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. The iPhone and the APPLE WATCH operate beautifully together and, apart from making it easy to personalise your APPLE WATCH with your photos, they also make the experience much more seamless to navigate.
