Customized Watch Face on Fossil HR Hybrid

Change & Customize Watch Faces on Fossil Hybrid Smartwatch

The Fossil Hybrid series comes with e-ink displays. It’s more of a black-and-white display that equips microcapsules full of positively charged white and negatively charged black particles. The watch controls these particles with an electric field to show monochromatic text or shape on the screen.

This means you cannot set color images as your watch face yet. Any image you choose will show up as a contrasty black-and-white photo on the home screen. Follow the steps below to set any custom photo as a watch face on your Fossil Hybrid smartwatch:

Step 1: Open the Fossil Smartwatches app on your iPhone or Android smartphone.


Step 2: Tap your watch on the app home screen.

Step 3: Next, click on Customize.

Step 4: Customize the text font and style, followed by preset stickers and the watch face layouts.

Step 5: Next, tap the Camera icon in the customization tab.

Step 6: Click the Camera icon again, tap Photo Library, and add the image you want to set as the face.

Step 7: Choose between the three styles- Contrast, Soft, and Exposure. Then tap Preview.

Step 8: Finally, hit Save. The watch face will be saved, and you’ll be returned back to the customization window.

Step 9: Tap the tick at the top right corner. Then, do it again to apply the watch face.

Once you’ve set the custom watch face, move on to the Data section, where you can customize and add the features you want to display on your watch, such as current temperature, steps, heart rate, the chance of rain, battery, blood oxygen, calories burnt, and more.
