Svartifoss 3 is the biggest personalization update yet - the watch can now look and feel genuinely like Yours, not just a variation on one fixed design. Here's what's new:

A watch that looks like yours

  • Build and save custom watch themes: combine any layout with your own colors, artwork treatment, typeface, always-on style and panel look into a named, reusable profile — switch between them anytime.
  • Every layout now remembers its own full appearance independently, so switching layouts never means losing your setup.
  • New Immersive layout — a full-bleed, Spotify-style cover — plus a ground-up rebuild of Vinyl, Poster, Studio and Halo, alongside Aurora, Eclipse (true black AMOLED) and Spectrum.
  • A much bigger album art picker: a true-to-source Square style, and five new gradient looks — Corona, Dusk, Bloom, Horizon, Ember — each its own mood, from a soft rim glow to a single warm corner.
  • 18 typefaces now available, plus a clock you can color and dim independently of the rest of the screen.
  • Finer shading control: a 0–150% slider and a choice of tint — black, album accent, desaturated, or your own custom color — instead of three fixed presets.
  • New styles for nearly every surface: 8 new volume/seek readouts, new volume-bar positions (including a full ring around the bezel), 3 new glass quick-panel styles, 5 new minimal panel looks, and 4 new "cover art" list styles for the queue and menus.

Your app, your language

  • 13 languages total: English, Brazilian & European Portuguese, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Greek, Romanian, Indonesian, Persian, and Simplified Chinese — synced automatically to the watch.

Streaming shortcuts that actually play

  • Saved Spotify / YouTube Music / Deezer / Tidal / Apple Music / Amazon Music / SoundCloud links now reliably start playback, including in the background, instead of just opening the app.
  • Assign a saved track, album or playlist directly to a button, gesture or quick-action slot — not just apps and commands.
  • One-tap "Play liked songs" for YouTube Music and Spotify, optional online cover art, and a new Shortcuts Tile for one-tap access from the watch face.

Quick Actions, rebuilt

  • Real app-provided quick actions mirror your media notification's actual buttons.
  • The panel is fully scrollable, with a proper Up Next row.

Fresh installs start ready to go

  • New installs now ship with a complete, curated setup — button/gesture mappings, action menu, and appearance for every watch face — instead of a generic guess.
  • Dynamic accent color is on by default — the phone UI now follows your album art out of the box (still optional to turn off).

Your setup, fully portable

  • Config backups now also capture your saved shortcuts, search and track history — restore everything at once on a new phone or after a reinstall.
