I love the Wayfinder face! It might have the most info I can cram onto the screen yet and that red night mode is awesome. I particularly like using the live compass function with elevation showing on the dial. I just wish there was an option to turn off the clock hands... It's rather busy looking, so I prefer using digital time for quick glances, especially when the compass is turned on. Yet, the clock hands cover up those center sub-dial complications sometimes annoyingly... Does anyone else feel the same way?
 
Being a Nurse I am definitely not looking to hide the second hands. The night mode is great when I work late counting peoples RR. I don’t have to annoy my Pt.s with a bright watch face lol. I hope I don’t have to work a double though ha ha!

Some Citizen hybrid mechanical/digital watches have a button to temporarily move the hands out of the way, when the hands cover up a digital display.
The AW could have a button function (or complication?) to temporarily turn off the hands while the button is pressed
 
Initially on the Infograph watch face on my series 6 I used to get a bit put out that the hands convered the complications in middle of the face. But after a time I got used to just tapping on the complication and ignoring the hands.
But I guess for complications showing values it could be inconvenient.

However, on the whole I’m happy with the Wayfinder watch face (minute bezel issue aside).
Not sure I’d choose the hide the hands, be an interesting option though.
 
Somewhat. They do block the center complications, and I like the location of all my complications as is.

Maybe a setting that would display the hands for 2 seconds at wrist rise (raise?), then fade out to reveal the center complications? That would be cool.
