Future Apple Watch Sensors May Match Watch Face Color to Your Band and Clothes

Hey thats not fair. There are stealth ads/advertorials and affiliate links too.
This can be done with software.. just let the user customize the color of the wallpaper and the user will put the matching color ….
I'd much rather have a built in thermometer and Blood Pressure readings. They do call this a health device and I feel like it could do more to fulfill that promise.
They don't even support multi-user syncing so why would they support single users and multi-device syncing? Contextual syncing based on location, heart rate, proximity to other devices, time of day, etc. would be much more useful to me personally but that would require improved Siri development which is probably in limbo.
The entire Apple Watch is built around cosmetic BS. It's a lifestyle product that generates more money on watch band sales than Google's entire Pixel line. I think this is the perfect application.
I'm sure the world's most valuable company needs advice on how to run a business from one of us.
Regardless
Is that aesthetic actually configurable on AW?
Closest I can get is the all-white screen(s), but the hands are also white w/ orange second-hand - each with an unnecessary and unsightly drop-shadow. I like the stark, Frank Miller-esque, black & white.

What would be neat is if they could print a special small pattern into the tag, maybe like a QR code or NFC tag, that could link to an image that could be made into the wallpaper on the watch when you press the Watch up against it or at least scan it with your iPhone. Then any sort of colors or patterns in the garment could be replicated on the watch, including graphics for t-shirts etc, from an image provided by the manufacturer that gets uploaded into Apple's database for the watch. Reason I want Apple to store it is because I don't trust a manufacturer to remove it from their website later.
Not one comment about how Apple more than likely has developed this to show how much they support the Alphabet lifestyle. Wake Up Everyone America is getting destroyed by the deranged left! It's not just America is throughout our glorious world. Remember they are coming after our children!
What if the watch bands identify as something other than the colour they are in?
I had this idea years ago…
Snap a photo of what you were wearing that day and make an Apple Watch face that matches your clothes. Sell if for a couple of bucks and make a million (if the app is really good). But, you can't do it because Apple doesn't allow 3rd party developers to make watch faces.
Now, looks like Apple is going to do it (with some added sensor help).

OK, this is all the proof that we need!!!
Apple is working with the military, and this feature is designed to provide camouflage! Gecko warriors!

Have you not seen any threads on ios17 betas? You might find them on the Macrumors Home Page
Nice gimmick but maybe it could instead have the ability to broadcast heart rate data like a Garmin watch does?
