The invention discloses a cloud dial plate design method of a smart watch. The method includes the steps of creation of a cloud dial control data structure, data binding, writing of a dial simulation file, confirmation of a dial ID and the size of a dial resource file, final generation of a dial file, transmission of the dial file, storage of the dial file, initialization of a cloud dial in smart watch firmware, analysis of the dial file, and display of the cloud dial in the watch. According to the method, the occupied memory resources are small, codes are independent, coupling is low, portability is high, operability and modifiability are high, and the method has the advantages that controls are diversified, matching is flexible, and attribute elements are rich; the method supports fonts, static graphs and multi-frame dynamic graphs of different models; in the aspect of interaction, small control clicking interface jumping can be carried out, and real-time binding of various data is achieved; besides, a plurality of dial plate controls with micro-actions, different hand following effects and changeable styles are added, the data structure is clear, classification is clear, events are convenient to bind, and writing of dial plate simulation files is facilitated.
