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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.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.HOW TO Get your best face on
