Apple Watch

I can’t seem to upload any of my photos to my Apple Watch. And I can’t seem to create a watch face with photos which is what I would prefer over the options they give me

I'm not sure what you've done. Here's what I did: I set Photos on my Mac to sync with iCloud. Then In Photos I made an album named "For Watch" and put the pictures I wanted to see in there. On my iPhone's Watch app, in Photos, I turned on "Photo Syncing." I set the "Sync Album" to "For Watch" like on my Mac. I also set how many pictures to transfer to my watch. Now when I use the Photos app on the watch itself, I can see the pictures I chose on my Mac.


Also in the Watch app, in "Face Gallery" I found a face called Photos. I chose that as one of the faces I could sort through on my watch. That face shows those same pictures that I chose on my Mac.


You can even create your own face with a photo. Check here for some ideas:
