I do not have any prior development or coding experience. I did not study coding at school nor college as my interest only peaked around 2 years ago when I purchased my first smart watch.
The most challenging aspect of developing a mobile app was trying to understand how the coding structure worked without studying coding but luckily I had a friend who is a coder who pointed me to the right places.
My name is Danny and I am from Liverpool but currently residing in Dublin. I work at a gadget store: gadgets and gaming are my passion. When I got a smartwatch as a gift, I quickly became hooked with designing watch faces, which I do in my spare time. Designing, which is one of my personallity characteristics, puts me in contact with my creative side.
A few of my favourite apps are Watchmaker : This app is what inspired me to create and I get so much enjoyment out of it. AZ Screen Recorder: This app has allowed me to record steps I take on my phone which has helped my friends and family (especially my mother) learn how certain functions work without just trying to talk them through the steps. 500 Fonts: This app is what I use to create my background pictures for my watch faces. It allows you to add text and colours and makes your images look more professional without the need of a computer.
I have been working on my apps for a while now and as they are currently not standalone, watchmaker has allowed me to speed up the process by linking them to the app itself.
When developing my watch faces I tend to keep in mind that the wearer will be needing in terms of a clean sharp face that is easy to read at a glance but will also stand out. Adding themes that wearers relate to adds nostalgia and personalises making it one they hopefully keep going back to as it is an old favourite or (excuse the pun) because it's a familiar face.
I don't think any smart watch face app is better than another as they are all down to personal preference but I like to think that my apps give a wow factor.
The watch faces that are available at the moment have Sounds and animations to give a fun factor. Due to my limited amount of time I have not yet been able to focus on creating more complexed faces but hope to bring some interesting features in the new year.
