The watchOS 10 update has come with lots of new features and improvements for the Apple Watch. The old Control Center has now been replaced by watchOS 10 Widgets. Now, you can’t change watch faces using simple swiping. Instead, use the “long-press and swipe/scroll” method.
In this post, I’ll show you how to change watch face on your Apple Watch. I’ll also show you how to set new watch faces that are now popular: the Snoopy Watch Face and the Vibrant Palette.
What is a Watch Face?
A watch face is a personalized screen on a smartwatch that displays the time, date, and other information such as weather, notifications, and fitness stats. You can change watch face to suit your preferences, altering the appearance of your smartwatch and using it to access different features and apps. There are two primary kinds of watch faces:
- Analog: This type of watch face is a conventional watch with hands that show the time. It’s often referred to as a traditional or classic watch.
- Digital: Digital watch faces show the time in digits and can display much more. Some digital watch faces include complications, which are small widgets that show extra details like weather, calendar events, or fitness information.
