How to customize your Apple Watch's watch face

The Apple Watch is more than just a device that tells time. Your personal health assistant tracks your fitness and helps you reach your health goals. It allows you to track your daily activity, heart rate, and even blood oxygen levels. It also helps you receive notifications for incoming calls, texts, and e-mails without pulling out your phone.

Customizing your Apple Watch face allows you to personalize the watch's appearance. You can choose from a wide range of watch faces with various designs, colors, and features; you can also add informative widgets called 'complications' for a glance.
