Custom Watch face (alien.top)

Hello, I’ve seen people selling in ads custom watch faces and it seems pretty legit. I would like to know how to creat a custom Watch face from scratch and add it to the watch. I don’t like the customization Apple gives us inside the watch… I have the Apple Watch 8

Apple doesn't allow third party watch faces on the Apple Watch. There are some third party apps on the App Store that try to appear to the user as a watch faces, but they aren't watch faces, they are just normal apps, and generally they don't offer a good user experience.

Apple does not officially open up watch faces to developers. All the custom "watch faces" you see are one of the following:

An app that pretends to be a watch face. You need to keep the app launched to see that "watch face".
A number of custom complications that works with existing Apple watch faces (for example Modular watch face), but with more clever or unique design that gives you the illusion that it's a different watch face
