Apple Watch Settings Question

[C7 POWER]

My wife tends to not wear her Apple Watch as much because she tends to cross her arms a lot, so when she does the screen always then starts changing watch faces, etc due to her arms pressing the screen. Are there any settings to lessen this from happening? First world issue I know but wanted to ask lol.

You can “lock” the screen, swipe up and in controls center tap the icon that looks like a water drop, and to unlock just dial the crown, that’s actually the process to push water out of the speaker area, so you’ll hear some noise…

Create an automation for every 15 minutes that sets the face back to the correct one.
Delete unneeded watch faces.

Lock screen (water - as above) sounds like a better idea though.

That's frustrating here as well. There's no great solution, but if you have 1 primary watchface that you use, delete all the other faces in your gallery. The watch can't change to another face.

I like the idea of the gallery, but I agree that the watch changes faces too easily.

Swipe up from the bottom & hit the droplet button. This should stay locked on the same face until you rotate the dial to unlock.

Yeah, I would prefer being able to entirely disable the ability to change faces from the watch itself.
