A Big Opportunity for RTOS-Based Smartwatches
Custom watch faces are one of the most loved features in premium smartwatches. But for manufacturers building on RTOS or bare-metal systems, that kind of user personalization has been hard to reach until now. With LVGL’s lightweight UI engine and tooling, and Facer’s 500,000+ face catalog, OEMs can deliver a premium, customizable watch-face experience on resource-constrained devices without building a full platform from scratch.

- LVGL Runtime + Watchface Loader: Lightweight graphics and data binding engine for RTOS devices
- Facer Converter Tools: Convert Facer watchfaces to LVGL-compatible assets
- Distribution & Sync Support: Load faces via mobile or OEM-specific channels
