I started out using the Modular face during the week because it provides the most info. But I don't like the font size of the Modular time stamp. Now I go for the Utility face because of its analog watch design. I like changing the colors.
 
Started out with the Utility, then Simple, and now my daily driver is the Modular. Modular just provides the most information/utility at one glance.

I think the simple clock face looks the best, but there is just so little information available by a glance. Particularly my next appt. I like having the name of the appt on the face, not just the time.

Now, if only Apple would include a Panerai-style face. Droooolllll
 
Great topic. AKA "Attention everyone, here's a list of all the available Apple watch faces and their variations as typed by random people."

I guess my favorite is solar just love the look of it. I'll use modular at work I do really like the sheer amount of info. After that I guess motion/chronograph with blue face. I like motion a lot better but as people mentioned the jellyfish barely appear before the face turns off so kind of useless. If they had the jellyfish appear on wake that would shoot up to my favorite. Really looking forward to time lapse.

I watched the WWDC keynote and think that will be a cool one as it takes you though the day. Think they mentioned what cities it will roll out displaying and maybe the developers playing with watch OSbeta2 know the answer. I could see it down the road featuring not only cities but places like Uluru in Australia (Ayers Rock) with the sun rising and setting over the orange red rock, maybe Yellowstone perhaps Old Faithful would be cool--it shoots up at regular intervals I believe, in general scenic places like that. Hey, if you are a developer reading this please suggest it to Apple in your feedback!!
 
I use Utility the most as I find it a good compromise between useful and visually appealing.

The other two I switch to are Motion with the jellyfish and the Chronograph face.

I prefer my watch to be more informative than beautiful..

I do too, though I'd like to be able to add backgrounds. It would also be cool to be able to have the watch face change depending on the day of the week and the time of day. For example, on weekdays during business hours I want to see my next appointment/event, but after hours and on weekends I might opt for something less informative but more visually appealing.

It would be fun to set up a rotation of choice and it would change faces like every couple of hours or whatever time length you choose. Other than that, I'm pretty much a modular face guy. The amount of info is useful, and changing the color based on shirt color is quite cool.

I agree that "best" is incredibly subjective. My favorite is most definitely the Simple. I switch off between Simple, Modular and Utility.

I saw this yesterday in a different thread. The poster hasn't replied yet as to how he got the Apple monogram on the top right of the Simple face...Anyone know how??

Pretty cool, I already have the Monogram on my "Color face"

How? He simply added the Apple logo as the location description for a clock city location abbreviation.

Best face so far is Simple with everything except the hands removed. Wish the hands were thinner though.

I copied and pasted the apple symbol from another thread. Then I created a keyboard shortcut, using random letters. Then I went to monogram and typed the keyboard shortcut and it showed the apple symbol.

The butterflies. I'm not keen on the modular/digital watch faces.

So far I've been using the butterflies, the flowers and Mickey Mouse. I'm looking forward to the new watch faces in the next update, namely the time lapse one and the one where you can chose your own watch face.
