When I got my Apple Watch last summer, I just made checking out different faces as a hobby. In addition to using the watch itself, you may also want to use the face gallery in the watch app on your phone. I thought there was an easy way to see how many complications each face has, but I couldn't find that without going into the description for each face. You'll also want to see which information comes with each watch face, so depending on the face, you may not need six complications, depending on the complications you're interested in the face you choose. I ended up adding a lot of different faces, and over time, as I saw which ones I jumped to the most, I ended up removing those I never used.
I think as you know, you can have several different watch faces and just flick left and right with two fingers to jump from face to face. Originally I liked the modular face, which has five complications but seem pretty simple otherwise. Eventually I settled on the activity face as my default face. It comes with a lot of activity information on it already and allows for two or three complications. When we were hiking in Colorado I added an infograph face with eight complications and add all of the meteorological/geological complications I could find, such as elevation. I also have the Siri face on my watch and jump to it occasionally to check out what Siri thinks I should know for the day. I also kept the astronomy face on my watch, which is really simple with only a few complications, but sounds like it looks pretty cool. These are the faces I have left on my watch, and like I said, I discarded quite a few a long the way. Oh, and one thing I forgot to add, I went into choosing a face thinking I just wanted one with the most complications possible, but after playing with a few, I realized I also needed to think about the information the face already comes with and how the complications are laid out. Some of them get pretty cluttered. Also, since it's so easy to have multiple faces and just jump between them, I also decided to group related information and complications on the same face, such as the infograph face with the meteorlogical complications I added or the activity face. Like I said, the modular face was my first go to face. I added complications for the weather, battery status, the most frequent activity I check and the timers app. I know I rambled on and stated a lot of obvious things, but I hope this helps. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Kay Malmquist Sent: Sunday, December 5, 2021 8:19 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: watch faces? Hi all, I want to create a couple of faces for my watch and have created one, but there are so many that I can't figure out which ones might be better. I am also looking for one with 6 complications. I know one exist because I heard it on a demo, but I didn't hear the name of it. Any recommendations for any to use would be appreciated.
