If you want to make your own watch style, choose a smartwatch that lets you use a personal photo or customize its dial in a companion app. The Motast is best for a large display and gallery-based face customization, while the LICYAPO adds GPS and outdoor sensors. The Coucur offers a broad selection of ready-made faces and photo-based styling. Only three supplied products are smartwatches with relevant customization features, so this guide focuses on those instead of unrelated DIY products.
| Smartwatch | Best For | Customization Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Motast 1.96-inch Smartwatch | Large-screen personalization | Create faces from phone-gallery images |
| LICYAPO GPS Smartwatch | Custom style plus outdoor tracking | Use photos or AI-described face styles |
| Coucur 1.83-inch Smartwatch | Style choices and everyday fitness | Choose from 200+ faces or use a photo |
Motast 1.96-Inch Customizable Smartwatch
Best for: People who want a large display and the option to make a watch face from a phone photo. The Motast listing says users can create and customize watch faces from their phone gallery, alongside more than 200 other combinations.
Its 1.96-inch TFT HD color screen has a listed resolution of 320 × 386 and four brightness levels. The watch also supports Bluetooth calling, message notifications, 110 sport modes, heart-rate monitoring, SpO2 monitoring, and sleep tracking. Those features make it a stronger choice for buyers who want a personalized look with fitness and communication tools.
Why it was selected: The listing directly describes photo-based face creation, which closely matches the goal of making a watch look personal. Limitation: The listing says the companion app is used for sleep tracking and face customization, so setup involves a phone app.
LICYAPO GPS Smartwatch With AI Dial
Best for: Buyers who want to personalize a watch face and also use GPS and outdoor sensors. The LICYAPO has a 1.96-inch HD screen, supports photo-based faces, and offers more than 100 downloadable face styles through its app. Its AI feature can describe watch-face designs by voice.
For outdoor activities, the listed features include multi-system GPS support for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, plus a compass, altimeter, and barometer. The watch can make and receive calls, display notifications, and supports voice-to-text SMS replies on Android, according to the listing.
Why it was selected: It combines personal dial options with route and environment information for activities such as running, cycling, and hiking. Limitation: The listing specifies that voice-to-text SMS replies are available on Android, so that function should not be assumed on other systems.
Coucur Smartwatch With Photo Watch Faces
Best for: Shoppers who want a choice of digital designs and a personal photo on a 1.83-inch display. The listing describes more than 200 watch faces and the ability to use a photo to match a preferred style.
The Coucur also lists Bluetooth 5.3 calling, app notifications, more than 120 sport modes, and tracking for heart rate, steps, calories, distance, and activity time. Its IP68 waterproof design is described as suitable for sweat and rain. This makes it a practical option for someone who wants to customize the screen while keeping fitness features close at hand.
Why it was selected: Its listed photo option supports a personal watch-face look, and its large face library gives buyers other styles to choose from. Limitation: The product details do not specify a display resolution or explain the exact photo setup steps.
Buying Guide: How To Make Your Own Smartwatch Face
Do you want to use your own photo?
Check that the product description explicitly supports photo-based watch faces. The Motast and Coucur listings mention using a phone-gallery photo; the LICYAPO listing says it supports photos as well. A large selection of built-in designs is useful, but it is not the same as adding your own image.
How important is screen size?
The Motast and LICYAPO have listed 1.96-inch displays, while the Coucur has a 1.83-inch display. A larger screen may give a face more room for visual elements, but the listed size alone does not establish sharpness, color quality, or readability. Compare the stated display details and choose based on your preference for screen area.
Do you need fitness or outdoor features?
For broad activity tracking, compare the listed sport modes and health features. Coucur lists more than 120 modes; Motast lists 110. For route-focused outdoor use, LICYAPO stands apart in this selection because its listed features include multi-system GPS, a compass, an altimeter, and a barometer.
What should you check before ordering?
- Confirm how watch-face customization works and whether the required app suits your phone.
- Check whether the functions you want, such as SMS replies, are limited to a particular operating system.
- Separate design features from health and activity features; a customizable dial does not determine tracking capability.
- Review the product’s own specifications for water resistance and supported functions rather than assuming all smartwatches offer the same capabilities.
