The Apple Watch has made a massive impact in the wearables arena, primarily down to its renewed focus on fitness applications. You can even explore the world of Pokémon GO from your wrist with the Apple Watch.
Ahead of Apple's big release event today - where the new Apple Watch Series 4 is sure to be revealed, along with a rumoured edge-to-edge display - we've been treated with a method for getting a bit of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate on our wrist:
It's quite a clever little trick, as each time you raise your wrist to check the time, you'll get treated to a different photo of a Smash character.
If you have an Apple Watch and would like to give this a try, you can find all the watch faces and instructions on this handy Reddit thread. Will you be picking up an Apple Watch Series 4 in order to check this out, or do you own an older model already? Perhaps you have an Android Wear watch and know of similar apps? Let us know with a comment below.

This is cool, but don't own a smart phone so apple watch is useless to me
I do that too!
...Just on my smart phone. The wallpaper changes to a new Smash character every 60 seconds.
Maybe this can be data-mined to see if there's any new, unannounced characters?
I'd be tempted if the idea of having to charge my watch every couple of days wasn't so damn idiotic.
A smart watch is so... extra.
Says the guy who bought an HDMI adapter for his Gamecube and a modded Game Boy Advance.
Oh I have to go see if these are available yet!! Have been rocking the toy story watch face for ages, it does the same and changes to a new mini clip with a different character each time you raise the watch to read it.
Rather have my samsung galaxy watch 46"
@Heavyarms55 Hey, those are accessories that enhance your experience of something.
A smart watch just seems like an unnecessary addon for what a smart phone already does.
FYI
you can set you watch to show a different display when you raise your watch. This person was clever to have custom photos and give the illusion of watch faces. Neat trick 👌🏼
iPhone Nintendo Special Edition - connects to Joycon - accesses free NES games if you have Nintendo Online Membership lol
Switch wallpaper/themes when?
@RupeeClock My accessories don't enable any new features. They simply improved functionality both devices already had. Which really is what a smart watch does.
Both are unnecessary and a matter of personal preference. Though mine were likely cheaper, unless smart watched have dropped significantly in price since I last happened to look.
NintendoLife didn’t explain this very well...It’s just a series of pictures someone made that you can download on your phone, put into an album, and have your Apple Watch display it. Apple and Nintendo aren’t involved in this in any way.
Those crazy DIY creatives on The Internet, amirite?!
Can't seem to spend enough time and money on finding new ways to hype myself up for spending my time and money!
Excellent stuff! Insta-install on watch.
@TeeJay How do you do that? I wanna know too
Sweet. I look forward to having Smash on my wrist. I def don’t mind the continuing cozying-up between Apple & Nintendo
This is more "Random" than "News", in my opinion.
BTW, it seems like some people in the comment section think that this is an official product. It's not. It's just some pictures that a guy on reddit made.
@Silly_G this is the reason smart watches for all their innovation, essentially fall flat.
If the device can’t beat tried and true wrist watches in longevity, its a little pointless to me.
I’m certainly disappointed with my Apple Watch battery life and rarely wear it now.
@Silly_G
I have one and that’s not an issue at all. I charge it when I go to sleep and it goes days without needing a charge. I use maybe 15% of my battery life per day. It’s a great little device.
you can jailbreak it to play gameboy color games
I hope this has room for at least a now playing complication! Love my Apple Watch!
@Yasaal I use the Wallpaper Changer app. It's not the most stable app in the world though, occassionally the pics won't cycle or the picture is really small in the center of the screen with a black background.
