Hamza Sood – the same hacker who managed to bring Flappy Bird to the Apple Watch as a native app – has just hacked Apple’s wearable to do something just as cool: run custom watch faces.
This evening, Sood took to Twitter to post a 23-second video showing a custom watch face running on his stainless steel Apple Watch.
After some haxx… Custom watch faces on Apple Watch!
Watch face source code is on GitHub:https://t.co/7ZvOz8nK34 pic.twitter.com/nQGJKlp6kt

This isn’t an app. Sood is choosing his custom watch face right from the Apple Watch faces interface. He has shared the code he used on Github.
Although watchOS 2.0 adds a number of new features to the device, the inability to develop custom Apple Watch faces has been a sore point for developers of the wearable. Sood’s code proves it’s possible, though … at least for jailbreakers.
Would you like to have custom watch faces on the Apple Watch?
