Here's how to get them all!</p> <p>The Apple Watch comes with an optional Mickey Mouse clock face that not only points to the proper time but taps out the seconds. While we won't get Donald, Superman, Garfield, the Hulk, Homer Simpson, Eric Cartman, Archer, Megatron, Darth Vader, or any other fully-animated clock face until Apple decides to make more licensing deals, thanks to the Photo clock face, we can have any static cartoon character we want. With Live Photos and watch OS 2, we can ever make them move... slightly!</p> <h2>How to get your favorite cartoon character onto your Apple Watch clock face</h2> <p>We can't distribute any images we don't have the rights for, but thanks to the internet you can probably find any image you want for personal use only. I'll assume you know how to use Google (or whatever engine you prefer) image search and go from there.</p> <ol><li>Launch <strong>Safari</strong> (or your preferred browser) from the Home screen of your iPhone.</li> <li>Search for an image of your favorite cartoon character.</li> <li>Touch-and-hold the image to bring up the save option.</li> <li>Tap <strong>Save Image</strong>.

</li> </ol></li> </ol><p>If there's something you don't like about the image, you can give it a basic edit in the Photos app, or edit it in your favorite imaging app on iOS, OS X, or Windows.

</li> </ol><p>It should default to that last image you added, so chances are as soon as you add a new Photo face, it'll already be set to the image you want.

</li> </ol><p>That's it, you now have your favorite cartoon character—or, hey, real life character!—on your Apple Watch.</p> <p>If you want to add a little bit of motion to your Clock Face, you can use a Live Photo as well. The best way to get it is to go to your favorite scene in a cartoon, then use your iPhone 6s to capture a Live Photo of it. Remember to press the shutter button at the moment when the character is in the perfect pose, and your iPhone will automatically capture 1.5 seconds before and after so you get that cape flourish, snarky smile, head turn, or whatever you like best.</p> <p>You may have to experiment with lighting, angles, and timing to get a Live Photo you can use, but it's a fun effect when you do get it.</p> <h2>The negatives</h2> <p>The Photo clock face, alas, has nothing in the way of color customization, so you have to carefully position your image not to interfere with the time. Worse, the Photo clock face has nothing in the way of complications, which makes the Apple Watch phenomenally less useful. That likely relegates any character images you add to off hours, casual fun-time use only.</p> <p>Hopefully Apple improves that in a future version of watchOS.</p> <div class="devicebox"> <h3>Apple Watch</h3> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gLIrLTWt8ic?rel=0&autoplay=0&wmode=opaque&controls=2&autohide=1&showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-glirltwt8ic" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div>  <ul><li>Apple Watch review</li> <li>watchOS 2 review</li> <li>Apple Watch help</li> <li>Apple Watch buyers guide</li> <li>Apple Watch news</li> <li>Apple Watch discussion</li> </ul></div> <div> <style> <![CDATA[/* ><![CDATA[/* ><![CDATA[/* ><!]]]]]]><![CDATA[><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]]]><![CDATA[>*/ /*--><!]]>*/ </style></div> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
