Hand Watch Mockup
What's inside
- Applications Photoshop
- File Types PSD
- License Free (see author's terms)
- Author Gumroad
Presenting a watch face? Put it on this hand watch mockup and the client sees the real thing, not a flat file.
Useful for UI designers as much as for wearable app teams. A small tip: for app store or portfolio images, crop tight around the device so the screen fills most of the frame.
Stakeholders who don’t read wireframes still understand a screen on a device straight away.
Use it for
- A watch face
- A fitness app screen
- A notification design

Hand Watch Mockup: editable parts
Everything below is on its own layer:
- Screen design, placed through the smart object
- Screen glare and reflection layers
- Device colour, where the file includes it
How to edit this Hand Watch Mockup in Photoshop
- Take a clean screenshot of the app or website you want to show.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Change the background colour to fit your brand.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Another tip: turn the screen glare layer down if your UI has small type. Glare looks nice but hides detail.

- Share a fitness app screen on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Do I need Photoshop?
Yes. This is a PSD mockup built with smart objects, so you edit it in Adobe Photoshop. Any recent CC version works.
Can I remove the screen reflection?
Usually yes. Reflections and glare are normally a separate layer that you can hide or lower in opacity.
