Apple has filed a patent related to the customization of Watch faces.
outlines a Watch that can extract colors, for example, from clothing or a Watch band, and utilize this color data to modify the appearance of the Watch's face.
Apple's proposal suggests allowing users to choose colors from a set range while the Watch would also adapt to the user's preferences. For instance, users could hold an object over the display, and the device's sensors would measure the object's color and replicate it on the display. The process of sampling colors could let users personalize their Watch display to match their watch band, clothing, iPhone color, car, or other items. This means you could theoretically point the Watch at your outfit or accessories before wearing it and change your Watch face accordingly. Apple's patent states that this color-detecting sensor would be integrated behind the display of the Watch.
When sampling colors, the Watch display shines light onto the object in front while a light sensor collects color measurements. The display sends out red, green, and blue light in a sequence, and the sensor measures how much red, green, and blue light is reflected. Then the device"” and replicate it.
This could be a cool way to personalize your Apple Watch since Apple doesn't allow third-party watch face support. But remember, right now, it's just an idea, and we can't be totally sure if this will actually happen.

Judge dismisses lawsuit claiming Apple Watch blood oxygen sensor has a racial bias.Plaintiff Alex Morales said he believed that he’d bought the Apple Watch believing its blood oxygen feature would work “without regard to skin tone.” However, the class action lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can’t be brought forth against Apple again. However, there is bias with light-based sensors. That’s because they determine your metrics based on how light reflects off the skin. Melanin (and tattoo ink) impacts that, though companies try to make up for it by fine-tuning algorithms. It’s well-known that even pulse oximeters aren’t as accurate for non-white patients. Reminder: Apple wasn’t required to get FDA clearance for its blood oxygen feature because it’s for general wellness, aka just for fun. It also clearly states that in its apps. If you want better accuracy, stick to pulse oximeters.
