WATCHFACE FEATURE
Watchface Image
Put your own image on the MarketWatch watchface home — a photo, logo, or any symbol you love. No account needed; it links to your watch by its Device ID.
What makes an ideal image
- Match your background color. The image blends in seamlessly when its background matches your watchface background color. The default is black, but you can change it in the watch's Background setting.
- Square, 400×400 px or larger. It's scaled to fit your watch. How it is placed is set on the watch itself (Watch Face menu → Image: Auto or Full). Non-square images are center-cropped.
- High-contrast colors. Use colors that contrast with your background. On a dark background, bright colors (white, yellow, cyan, red) stand out; on a light background, darker colors read better.
- Photos work too. To fit the watch's memory the image is reduced to a limited color palette, so very subtle shades and smooth gradients may shift slightly. With enough colors, photos can still come through well. Logos, crests and bold shapes with flat colors are the most forgiving.
