HOW TO Get your best face on
Find your face
To move between the different face options, swipe from edge to edge on the display. When you find one you want to customize, press and hold on it until the face gets a little smaller and its name appears. Tap Customize.
Check your colors
Sometimes you’ll find that complications can be a little too garish. If you want to tone things down a bit, swipe from left to right to get back into the color scheme selector. Press the Digital Crown to confirm your changes.
Pick a style
Many faces, such as the Utility face shown here, have different styles. Here we’re going for one with fewer numbers for a cleaner appearance. The preview image (above the colors) updates when you tap a style.
Change the color
The first screen is always for choosing your color. Use the Digital Crown to scroll through the color options and see how they look. Once you’ve chosen your color, swipe from the right of the display.
Use your iPhone
To customize your Watch faces from your iPhone, open the Watch app on your iPhone and tap on the name of your Apple Watch. You should now see your installed faces in the My Faces section — you can edit them from here.
Edit complications
To edit complications, choose one from the list of complications and then scroll through the available options, such as Alarm, Battery, and so on. Tap on Set As Current Watch Face to send the changes to your Watch.
Alter complications
Tap on any complication — a panel or icon — you want to change and you’ll see that it becomes outlined in green. Again, use the Digital Crown to scroll through the available options, which can differ from face to face.
Edit any face
The iPhone app enables you to change any Watch face without actually changing it on your Watch, so it’s a good way to experiment with lots of different ideas. Tap on a color to change the color scheme.
Wipe your face
If you keep accidentally swiping to faces you don’t want, you can remove them by tapping Edit at the top right of My Faces in the iPhone app. Press the red minus button to delete any faces that you no longer want.
