I just got my first Watch, and pretty shocked at how limited the face selections/customizability is (like the limited number of complications which changes depending on the face, not being able to change the color of all elements on the face, etc). I also thought we're limited to the faces officially available from Apple, but seeing this sub I'm wondering if I'm missing something, can you make/download custom faces? Are there other ways to customize faces and complications beyond what's in the iOS Watch app? TIA

Don’t know if that shows up or not but it’s the Maarten Baas clock at the Schiphool airport.

That would be pretty awesome - is it possible?

The design looks like a retro watch, yeah, cute. But it is effectively half the size of the old design. The numbers are smaller, the functional size of the space is much smaller. it’s bad design in the name of fashion and a big screw you to anyone with vision issues.

It’s anti-accessibility. I guess designs that allow more people to read read it is too woke.

I want to be able to put the weather, my steps for the day, and some other stuff on my I watch along with a photo of my choice in the background. Is this possible? Or can I only do so much when choosing a photo background.

I have the series 6 btw

I've been experimenting with different Apple Watch faces lately, and it's surprising how much the right layout can change the experience. For those of you who use your watch for sports, workouts, golf, cycling, or hiking, which face do you always come back to?

Do you prefer having as much information as possible on the screen, or do you keep it simple with just a few complications?

I'd love to see what everyone is using and hear why it works so well for you.

Update: I recently discovered that Phigolf now supports the Apple Watch, and it got me thinking about which watch faces work best with sports apps. If you use your watch for golf or other outdoor activities, do you change your watch face depending on the app you're using, or do you stick with the same one all the time?

I'd be interested to hear what setup works best for you.

Hi everyone!

I’m Luka, the developer behind Yoa Health & Workout Tracker.

We all know Apple Watches are fantastic, but their data presentation can be quite plain and unappealing. And where is recovery score, strain score, stress levels and much more???

I believe many users would prefer a more user-friendly design, intuitive graphics, and actionable advice to help them improve their health. And yes, recovery, strain and stress scores.

This is precisely why I created Yoa.

Here are a few things that might be important to you:

• [Free & No Ads]: Yoa is free to download, but it offers some premium features with Free 3-day trial. If you can’t support the project, feel free to DM me, and I’ll provide you with a promo code :)
• [Solo Project]: Yoa is a solo project, developed by me, who personally uses it daily to stay on top of my health goals.
• [Goal]: I am on a mission to make this app the best health tracker on the AppStore together with users! I listen to every suggestion you have and implement it in a couple of days.

You can find Yoa right now by searching “Yoa Health & Workout Tracker” in the App Store or click: https://apps.apple.com/app/yoa-health-workout-tracker/id6642662318

I’m incredibly open to feedback, so if you try Yoa, I’d genuinely appreciate your thoughts on what works, what doesn’t, and any features you’d like to see in the future. Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!

Most of you know Glimpsy by now as your tiny utility to hide the battery while it's still charged enough, and either just hide it to keep your watch face clean, or combine it with a date complication to save precious space on your watch. Version 3 is now the biggest update so far, with a complete overhauled and extended Glimpsy that will allow you make your watch face truly unique:

• Works now from watchOS 10.5/iOS 17.5 on (i.e. from Series 4)
• Amulet: show a photo of your loved one (or any photo) in circular complications
• Insignia: Emojis or up to 3 characters everywhere
• Photo background for rectangular complications
• Different styles, all completely separately configurable
• Full preview for all complication types
• A lot more new configuration options to make your watch truly personal
• All of course by keeping Glimpsys signature feature: show the battery only once it gets relevant

Just use the 7 day free trial phase with all the features to test how it can help you customize your watch faces! After that it's just a tiny one-time permanent license fee -- no subscription!

I felt so stupid🫣

Does anyone recognize the widget at the middle?

I think it’s from a Casio face from Clockology or WatchFaces

I can’t find the face nor the widget
