I don't recall Apple doing this before but if you open this on your phone you can download some new product red Apple watch faces. Just scroll down and pick which ones you want to download off of Apple's website.

product-red

I hope this is a sign of things to come where they make more watch faces downloadable instead of just putting them into software updates. Again if they've done this before I apologize I just don't recall them doing this.

These are not "new" watch faces, they are just pre-customized existing watch faces. Same thing they did for the "international" collection of Sport Loops.

I suspect the OP is confused. They’re not new watch faces as you stated. Plus, Apple typically highlights new watch faces prior to the official release. (I.e-WWDC, ect.)
 
Oh my bad. I knew they were existing watch faces I didn't know the colors were already existing. I wish Apple did make downloaded watch faces though.

Sorry for the confusion here.

I agree.

To the point of your creating this thread ("Apple now offering downloadable watch faces") I have the same interest and would like to see this more frequently.

I take the point made by others that these faces are only modifications of other already available choices. That doesn't change that this is something new, Apple offering these new faces (or modifications of faces, if you want to look at it that way) from their website.

I believe this became possible with Watch OS 7. I remember they did this for the Olympics, and at least one other thing.

This is not the first time they've done this, but I agree with others that they should do it for actual new watch faces. I'm fine with Apple serving as a quality watchdog, but there aren't nearly enough available faces. A dedicated watch face download area on Apple's site (or through the App Store or wherever) also would be nice.
 
Maybe you should change the subject since it’s not the case. It’s the sharing feature of existing Watch faces, just difference combination of colours and styles. They did it in the country flags Watch bands too.
