One of the great features of the Apple Watch is the ability to use different watch faces. Some people like a digital watch, others like an analog watch; Apple gives options for both, and more. Some Apple Watch users like to set up multiple watch faces and switch depending on what they’re doing. For example, you could set up one Apple Watch face for you for when you are at work, and another for when you are active and want to track workouts and your activity.
The Apple Watch has always allowed you to switch watch faces easily, but starting with watchOS 10, Apple changed the method for this. Many users were flustered that they were no longer able to quickly change their watch face as before. With watchOS 10.2, Apple brought back the original method of changing watch faces, but it’s hidden behind a setting.
Here’s how you can change Apple Watch faces on watchOS 10.
The standard way of switching Apple Watch faces in watchOS is as follows:
The optional way of switching watch faces in watchOS 10.2 and later (including watchOS 11) is as follows:
You can use either of these two methods to change watch faces in watchOS 10 or later. The second method is much quicker, and is great if you like to change your Apple Watch face often.
