Say what you will about the utility of the Apple Watch , there is no denying it's a beautiful watch with attractive watch faces. And thanks to a clever Danish developer, you can borrow a watch face from the Apple Watch to use as a screensaver on your Mac.

Head to Rasmus Nielsen's website where you'll find a free download for his Apple Watch screensaver. After downloading the file, open it and click Install.

After installing the file, your Mac will open the Desktop & Screensaver area of System Preferences. Choose the Apple Watch option and the next time your screensaver starts, you will see the Apple Watch's Utility watch face. According to Nielsen, a second Apple Watch screensaver is coming soon in the form of the X-Large watch face.
