    Seems lame to buy an apple watch just to emulate a watch face… like I think people will see that and think its weird / cringe

    I use Numeral most of the time, it is exactly like that one but with a giant number for the just the hour, it is so easy to read, looks great and saves battery

      I wish the number was the opposite. I don’t need the number for hours, I rarely am unsure what hour it is, but my big problem with these sorts of faces is it’s too ambiguous about the minute.

      Honestly it’s a pain in the ass to swap bands out for exercise and back again, not to mention I don’t trust the moving parts to stand up to constant swaps over time anyway. Can’t say I blame him for going with his favorite exercise-friendly band and just rocking it the whole time.

    Always wondering, how people can understand what exact time with such watch faces. Minimal is good, however found that modular watch face is way better for this.

      Yes I would also prefer some lines or dots to separate hours and 5 min intervals

        Yes, we should have that option on many faces. I mostly have to use a complication every time someone ask me the time…

      In fact, you mostly don’t need to know the time down to the minute. If necessary, I will use a digital watch face.

        Holy hell, I came here to say something along these lines and you got downvoted this much?

        I’m with you - the only times I need HH:MM:SS on my watch face is when I’m angling for a concert ticket or signing up for some class somewhere that has limited seating. I admit that I prefer digital most of the time, but I don’t diss analog just because I can’t get the most precise time.

      I rarely need to know the exact time. When I do I swipe from minimalist to a digital face and then back.

      I prefer modular also, and is my standard watch face. It gives me digital time so I don’t waste time getting the info I need at a glance.

      Having a bunch of complications (including current temperature) is a great feature to have as well.

      This is what drives me nuts about minimalist watch faces. Too much approximation when there isn’t even at least some dots to indicate the hours. I’m sure you get used to it, but still, give me something with the numbers on it!

        I could tell from this comment you were British (I am too for what it’s worth). I think we are just better practiced with this stuff than the Americans. Can’t speak for mainland Europeans cause I don’t know.

      Fully agree. Such faces are beautiful but if you need to really know the time then they suck. If you just need a ballpark then perfect. I’m a teacher and my lessons are carefully planned down to the minute. I would never be able to use a face such as this. It would be a prime example of something being beautiful but useless. A very expensive bracelet.

    I use infograph to show 8 complications during the day and a simple face for nighttime
