You won’t have to uninstall and reinstall the tweak though, which is good. What happens is the unsupported faces “disappear” from the Apple Watch without any warning and the fix is to re-launch the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and simply set your unsupported watch faces back up again. This can happen when you enter editing mode on the watch itself, or when you reboot the Apple Watch.

One could still theoretically tell the time even with the numerals missing just by judging the clock hands, so it’s more of an aesthetic nuisance than a time-telling issue.Īpple’s watchOS is designed with checks and balances to make sure the software is working right, so you might have to reapply the Hermès or Nike+ watch faces that you enable on your unsupported Apple Watch in this way from time to time. Still, this may or may not turn you off from trying this tweak out for yourself. Regardless, the watch hands still move and most people know what a clock looks like, so it doesn’t really hinder telling time. The developer cites that he’s looking into what could be causing this glitch and is keeping his fingers crossed for a fix, although he can’t guarantee that this will ever be fixed since the Apple Watch itself isn’t jailbroken and can’t be modified. As you can see from some of the examples below, the numerals at the edges of the screen that help you to tell the time are missing from the Nike watch face (boxes are displayed in their place on the Hermès face), and some other minor imperfections are noticeable as well: While the unsupported watch faces are fully operational, the Hermès and Nike faces aren’t quite complete just yet. Once applied, it gets pushed to your Apple Watch and takes effect immediately. They’re enabled in the same way you would enable any other watch face – by dragging them into the order you want. You can select the face you want to use, whether you opt for the Hermès or Nike+ option or a stock option. Once installed, the tweak modifies the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, making the Hermès and Nike+ faces available for use on any model Apple Watch you might have, whether it’s the standard stainless steel model, the aluminium Sport model, or the ceramic/gold Edition model, etc…

If you’re wondering how to get the Hermès and Nike+ faces on your Apple Watch, this is how. As a result, the jailbreak tweak dubbed SpecialFaces is now in beta. IOS developer Applebees has been trying to port these faces to other models of the Apple Watch for quite some time, and he appears to be demonstrating success in his endeavours. Or at least, not without an iPhone jailbreak… For example, the Hermès and Nike editions of Apple Watches offer their own unique faces that can’t be accessed on any other Apple Watch. Apple limits some of its watch face designs to certain Apple Watch models.
