Alrighty then. I know this isn't the Flame Free Zone, but hey, don't judge me :D but I went and bought myself a Samsung Galaxy Watch 46mm. I wanted something to track my fitness activities and also to be able to make and receive calls on the fly when we're out and about, especially in emergency situations - I've taken to aggressive trail riding and had a couple of big 'offs' already.

I've got a decent chronograph dial on there at the moment, but I'm longing for something more. Something like this Waldhoff, which has moving tourbillon cage and barrel springs

I've read that Facer is crap though, not worth the premium money and it drains the shit out of the battery on the watch, so I don't want that one.

Now we all love a good copy, so I'm wondering if anyone has any decent dials on their smartwatch? What have you got, where did you get it? I'm thinking a Roger Dubuis Spider would look amazing on the Galaxy Watch. Are any of you guys tech enough to 'build' these kinds of dials?

Added complication - the company provide me with an Apple phone. I don't have need for a personal one, or I'd of jumped to Samsung years ago - my wife has the S20 and its far better than my XR. I can maybe use her phone to load content to my watch, but anything that can give me customization from iOS would be amazing. Any thoughts?

Yeah man, I have that. It works okay, but you can only search for dials in the App Store. Some of the watch face apps such as watchmaker are android only apps, and the ones you can get on iPhone either only allow you to make Apple Watch dials or won’t push content from your phone to your watch
