Due to the fact it is cheaper, it comes with limited watch faces, precisely only three. So, in this tutorial, we will share steps on how to change DZ09 Clock Face or design your clock face and use it on your DZ09 Smartwatch Phone.

How to change DZ09 Clock Face/Watch Face

To change Clock Face on DZ09, you first have to take a backup of your current firmware so that we can edit the firmware to change the clock face. To take a backup of your DZ09 firmware, follow the steps listed here. The firmware backup should contain files named 'EXT_BOOTLOADER', 'ROM', 'VIVA', and others.

We need to edit the 'ROM' file to change the watch face on DZ09. For this, we need to download a tool called MTK Resource Editor (Download), and some cool DZ09 Watch faces (Download).

Extract both MTK resource Edit and watch faces packages and copy them inside the folder with firmware files.

Run the MTK Resource Edit tool on your PC and click on 'Open' at the bottom-left corner and browse to the firmware files location. And under 'Files of type' choose 'All files (*.*)' and select 'ROM' file.

Now 'ROM' File should be loaded on MTK Resource Editor. Click on 'Pictures' from the tabs at the top and browse through all the pictures until you find the watch face, which is currently installed on your watch or the one you want to replace it with your custom watch face.

Now choose the watch face from the right 'WorkDir' section, which you want to install on your watch and hit the 'Import' button at the top. The existing Clock face will be replaced with the one you have chosen from the WorkDir.

Click on 'Save' and save it as 'ROM' file after selecting 'All files (*.*)' under 'Save as type'. Before saving, you might need to back up your old ROM file, just in case if anything goes wrong. We recommend you to make a copy of all the firmware files before making any changes.

Now flash the modified firmware files to your DZ09 Smartwatch by following the instructions listed here, and you should see the new Watch Face on DZ09.
