Creating your own watch face ... literally with you?

Hello,
I'm thinking of something, and I don't know if it's possible. I'm projected to graduate college, with my masters of science in special education (MSED) in 2024 sometime--this is only a projection as I'm going one class at a time per semester--. However, if I think I'll go the way it looks like, with the gold cord of Suma-Cum-Laude from Missouri State University, wouldn't this be a pretty watch face? Of course, I still have the watch series 2, but here's what I'd like on the complications. for my head, whering the grad cap, I'll have breathe--mindfullness selector in the fitness app. on the chest region, where the cords hang, would be heartrate. On the legs, where my robes and dress would still touch, would be activity. I'd like to know if this specific face can be created can be done, regardless of whether I graduate SCL or not? If not, can my graduation picture from when I graduated with Psych degree--MCL--be used? That's Magna-cum-Laude, by the way/the other was for Suma, as mentioned. Just to know, whichever face could be used would be in the gallery forever, so ... If this can be done, please tell me step-by-step with the use of VoiceOver.

P.S. This is not a joke but something I'd like to do ... both for myself and for my future work. I think having the face/s showing on my watch--whichever one I might have by then--would help give me some field creds, I'd think.

It is easily doable. In my opinion, however, it will not impress anyone, perhaps some people could even think it is going a little too far in terms of self confidence haha.
But in any case, something like that would work:
1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
2. Select the photo you want to use as your watch face background.
3. Tap on the share icon in the bottom left corner of the screen.
4. Scroll down to the "Create Watch Face" option and tap on it.
5. Preview your watch face with your selected photo as the background and customize it further.
6. Tap on "Add" in the top right corner of the screen to save your new watch face.
7. To select your new watch face, press and hold on the watch face screen and tap on "Edit".
8. Swipe left or right to find your new watch face and tap on it to set it as your default background.

I do not think it could happen with your current watch or OS.

That's okay, so thanks for the help. I'll spin this out a little longer before asking to end it.

Hello,
Thank you for the help, so if I were to do this, as described above, how do I add complications? Also, see above for what I'd like them to be/how to appear.
