This one is a really successful comp. It's clean but different and I can just imagine the way the digits roll as they change.
Sigh I've had quite a few "really good ideas" on here that Apple ended up doing. Too bad I don't get paid for them. One that comes to mind is several years ago when I went through the design process in a thread that I started about what the lock screen should look like with swipeable notifications. Apple ended up doing something really similar the next year.
Another idea I have is to make the complications fade in after you hold your arm up for a few seconds. So a quick time check is minimalistic, but hold your arm out for a few seconds and the complications fade into view. You could even take it a step further and make the face recede slightly to a smaller scale to make room for the complications around it. Then you could fit more content.
If I have time this weekend I might mockup some more complex faces. Depends on the weather. If it's rainy then more time to screw around lol.
thanks!
I've gone looking for some nice Nomos face as inspiration, here's a blue version. Following the pattern of utility and chronograph, has option for date complication inside the face.
more coming soonish...

A lot of these are pretty darn good. I wish I had some photoshop skills.
I really want the pebble worded time on the AW.
It would be cool if Apple did a contest for who ever could create the best 3 or so designs to add to the line up & name them after the designer.

Looks GREAT! Add one with the current temperature in the center and you'll have two great ideas for watch faces to submit.
That battery meter is sick... Great idea! Is there currently any way to see the phone battery from the watch? No, right?
... And just to nit pick, it is always proper to show a watch face at 10:10 or at 1:50

I use an app called RemoteBattery that has a glance with your phone's battery on it.

I believe there's a battery complication but it just shows the percentage. Don't have my watch yet.
