How can I create a non-kaleidoscope watch face from a photo?

I'm new to an Apple Watch - I have a SE 2nd edition. I have several photos that I'd like to have as a background to a simple analog watch face, but the only analog option is Kaleidoscope. Is there any work around?

Hello MBE121,


If you want to use a picture for your Apple Watch face that is not a Kaleidoscope, try this:


Change the watch face on your Apple Watch - Apple Support



After following these steps, scroll down in the Apple Watch face selections until you come to an Apple Watch face called "Photos". Select this and you should be able to add a normal photo to the Apple Watch face.


I hope this helps. Have a nice day.
