Chinese smartwatch manufacturer Mobvoi has introduced a new platform for creating and sharing smartwatch faces. The TicWatch maker is introducing its own watch face marketplace alongside the platform. TicWatch users will get an opportunity to create and share unique watch face designs using the platform.
Mobvoi has an impressive collection of Android smartwatches. However, the TicWatch lineup does not offer as many customization options as Samsung or Google, for example. The Samsung Galaxy Watch lineup and the Google Pixel Watch models provide several customization options. This goes beyond your choices of strap, size, and color.
The Mobvoi TimeShow app is a marketplace for watch faces for Wear OS and watchOS smartwatches. You can tinker with various aspects of your smartwatch including its display, health and exercise data, dynamic photos, and lots more.
The TimeShow app also allows the user to create free watch faces, as well as paid designs. You can pick from interactive games as well as settle for a traditional watch face. Both classic and modern design options are available in the marketplace according to your preference. An additional layer of customization is achieved through your choice of fonts and effects. You can also tailor your customization around your choice of widgets.
Mobvoi says that the app will introduce new watch faces every week, while the DIY site will also contribute to the expanding catalog. A user can create a watch face via the DIY site and share it on the app’s marketplace. Mobvoi plans to scale up the platform in the future so that watch face designers could earn from their designs. It plans to put in place a revenue-sharing arrangement for this. The marketplace will be open to WearOS and watchOS smartwatches outside the TicWatch ecosystem. The TimeShow app is available for download from both Google Play Store and the App Store.
