RG Rotate Update Lets You Customize Your Watch Face Even More

Let’s be honest: the Anbernic RG Rotate is a device that lives in a very specific niche. You either love its chunky, metallic, rotating-hinge aesthetic or you’re baffled by why anyone would want a square screen. But whether it’s a retro gaming rig or a quirky desk clock, Anbernic just proved it’s still actively supporting the hardware.
They’ve dropped system update V1.44, and while it’s not a massive overhaul, it’s a welcome quality-of-life boost. The highlight? You can finally customize your lock screen. No longer are you stuck with the default look; you can toggle the status bar away and swap out digital watch faces for something that actually matches your vibe.
Want to go full DIY? The update makes it surprisingly easy to create your own clock. You just name your background and clock hand images (`clock_background`, `clock_hour`, etc.), drop them in a folder, and refresh the app. It’s basically a simple drag-and-drop job for personalizing your device.
This update signals that Anbernic is actually listening to feedback, rather than just releasing a device and abandoning it to a single software version. If you’re rocking an RG Rotate, update now to tweak that screen. If you’re on the fence, remember: it’s a perfectly decent clock, even if it lacks a headphone jack.
