Keep the market in view and the time easy to read. Crypto Watch Face turns the crypto chart and price image supplied by the Crypto Watch app into your full-screen watch face background, then draws the time clearly on top with an automatic readability gradient. Built on the same battery-friendly Watch Face Format (WFF) structure as our Clean, Thin, Cute, and Future photo watch faces.
Before You Start
To use a crypto chart as your background, install Crypto Watch on your phone and watch first. Its Photo complication supplies the chart and price image shown behind the time. Prefer a personal photo? Any system Photo complication works too.
Chart Background, Clear Time
Crypto Watch Face is built for glancing at the market. The chart and price image from the Crypto Watch Photo complication fills the screen, and a dark gradient fades inward from the edge where the time sits, so the time stays sharp even over busy charts. Time position is kept simple - top or bottom - to keep the focus on your chart.
Set your background through the Crypto Watch complication, then frame it with a clean WFF watch face that keeps the time readable every time you glance down.
Key Features
- Crypto chart background via the Crypto Watch Photo complication
- Automatic readability gradient behind the time
- Time position: top or bottom
- Time size: medium or large
- Color theme selection for the time and date
- Use your own photo as the background too (system Photo complication)
- Battery-friendly Watch Face Format (WFF) with Always-on Display
Chart Background Settings
The background is delivered to the watch face through a Photo complication. Install Crypto Watch and assign its complication to the background image slot, and the chart and price image it provides appears as your full-screen background. Because the slot accepts any standard photo complication, you can also pick the system Photo complication to use a gallery photo instead.
Crypto Watch Face is designed for keeping an eye on the market:
- Full-screen chart and price image straight from the Crypto Watch complication
- Time drawn clearly on top, never lost in the chart
- Automatic gradient that keeps the time legible without hiding the chart
- Top or bottom placement so the time sits where the chart is quietest
- Date display for everyday practicality
Powered by the Crypto Watch Complication
The chart and price image are supplied by the Crypto Watch app. The watch face itself contains no network code - it simply renders the image the complication provides, which keeps it light and battery-friendly. How often the chart updates and which markets it shows are controlled in the Crypto Watch app.
Style Customization
Keep it simple and readable. Move the time to the top or bottom, switch between medium and large sizes, and choose a color theme that contrasts with your chart. The readability gradient follows the time position automatically - a top gradient when the time is up top, a bottom gradient when it sits below - so your time stays sharp on any chart.
Easy Setup
- Install Crypto Watch: Add the Crypto Watch app so its complication can supply the chart background.
- Assign the Complication: In edit mode, set the background slot to the Crypto Watch (or system Photo) complication.
- Customize Display: Adjust time position, size, and color theme.
- Enjoy Your Chart Watch: See your market chart with the time clear on top.
The chart background also carries over to the Always-on Display (AoD) screen, rendered at low power.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I show a crypto chart as the background?
Install Crypto Watch on your phone and watch, then set Crypto Watch Face as your active watch face. In edit mode, assign the background image slot to the Crypto Watch complication, and the chart and price image it provides becomes your background.
How are the chart and price shown?
The chart and price are supplied as an image by the Crypto Watch Photo complication. The watch face renders that image as the full-screen background and draws the time on top - it has no network code of its own.
Can I use my own photo instead of a chart?
Yes. The background slot accepts any standard photo complication, so you can choose the system Photo complication and pick a gallery photo as your background.
What should I do if the chart does not appear?
- Make sure Crypto Watch is installed on both your phone and watch.
- Confirm Crypto Watch Face is set as the current active watch face.
- In edit mode, confirm the background slot is assigned to the Crypto Watch complication.
- Open the Crypto Watch app to check the configured markets and chart updates.
If the time is hard to read over the chart, increase the time size, move the time to the quieter edge of the chart, or pick a color theme with more contrast.
