Developer Hamza Sood is one of the most popular indie developers in the community Applu. Why? Mainly because it reveals to us new information about products that have not yet been released and mentions of them are hidden in the depths beta versions iOS and OS X. He is also among the experienced developers who like to play with his electronics and show us that our devices have more capabilities than we expected. The latest thus concentrates on Apple Watch and the respected developer showed two videos on his Twitter yesterday in which he presented that he had hacked his watch so that he could use his own watch faces on it alongside those offered by Apple.
So it means that Apple Watch can expect a jailbreak in the future, which, however, will most likely only be available to jailbroken iPhone users, since the only way to get into Apple Watch new firmware, is right through the Watch app on iPhone. Sood was able to integrate watch faces directly into watchOS 2, so he didn't just create a separate application. The developer shared the code with other developers via Github and thus gives them the opportunity to edit watchOS so that they can use their own dials and they can also use a digital crown, so it is possible to change the color of the dial just like the official dials.
After some haxx… Custom watch faces on Apple Watch!

It's a shame that it wasn't hacked by a woman and she would show the "actual dials" :-D
