Faces and complicati­ons

Your Apple Watch has many faces. Here’s how to find the right one

-

WATCHOS 7 HAS AN all–new look and you can do more with it than ever before — but if you’re still using the default face or don’t use complicati­ons, you’re missing out on some of its best features.

To change a face, long–press and swipe to move between installed faces; keep swiping right and the big “+” sign enables you to install a new one. You can customize a face by long–pressing and choosing Edit to move into the customizat­ion screens. These vary from face to face but typically you’ll have one screen to customize the color, which you do by turning the Digital Crown, and one for choosing complicati­ons, which you use by tapping the one you want to change and using the Digital Crown or swiping to see the options. Some of the more complex faces have another screen for changing their design too. You can move between these customizat­ion screens by swiping left and right.

Different faces support different complicati­ons. The Infograph one has room for four in the middle, four in the corners, and one on top; Astronomy has two; and Artist doesn’t have any complicati­ons at all. You’ll also find that there are different versions of different complicati­ons depending on where they’re going so, for example, complicati­ons for corners usually show more info than ones in the center.

 ??  ?? You’ll find that corner complicati­ons can often display more informatio­n than central ones.
