Good day! Currently, I'm reviewing for me board certification exam for a couple months. What watch face can you suggest that is great for studying all day or just working on a desk? I don't mind its aethetic look and design since I'm the only one looking at it. Please suggest some complications that you use as well. For now I'm using Forest but the apple watch app is kinda disappointing. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Er, I have no idea. The only thing I use the Apple Watch for when I'm working at the desk is to remind me to stand every hour. I never even look at my watch because the time and any other info I need can be seen on my computer. You mention Forest, which I assume is a mind-focus app? Are you just looking for recommendations on that type of app, or is there something else you have in mind?
I’m not sure why the watch face would matter and you don't explain it either. You could just take the watch off if it’s a significant distraction. Or go for a super plain face.
Or maybe you need a timer complication for study periods and study breaks?
You need to think about how you study (since we all have different methods) and start there.

Certainly not the intent. The OP is specifically looking for functionality and not aesthetics, so if we had some basic idea of the poster’s habits we could make suggestions that might be more relevant. There are people out there would like nothing more complex than two hands, and there are those who study using their watch for timing, and perhaps even notes and index references. Those are two materially different groups who would use their watches in different ways. I did make a couple of basic suggestions covering something like those two ”extremes”.
