Since Apple has launched the infograph watch face that’s the only watch face I can use everyday. It seems for me there’s no alternative. Anyone else in the same situation?!

It’s definitely one of the best….but I’d love 💕 an old school LED watchface option.

I switched from Infrograph to California a year or so ago, does everything that Inograph did for me, except, I cannot have a monogram (used the :apple: on my Infograph)
 
I just wish Apple would update Infograph to give us more interesting looks. I use it all the time and it’s kind of sad when they put out new faces that display little information.

I have what I call the Intense Infograph, with all the exercise reminders, and the Lazy Infograph, when I don’t want my watch guilt-tripping me.

Only time I swipe to a different face is when I’m out visiting (California) or at Disney (Mickey, of course).
 
Clockwise from top right:

Date, Activity, Alert 360 (alarm company) app, Weather (temp)... top inner clock face: Calendar (next appointment). Nice, concise, informative.

View attachment 1801702Infographic during the week for me. Love the Roughly complication at the top.
So funny. You like the Roughly complication, whereas I want precision - when I'm walking into the station, I want to know the EXACT time, seconds and all. Because knowing I have forty seconds to get the platform, as opposed to five, is extremely helpful. Which is also why I can't stand most of Apple's analog watch faces - they don't use second tick marks for some asinine reason, so it's impossible to know, at a glance, exactly what time it is. Also, the rounded hands - very hard to read the precise time, at a glance.
 
I live in Florida and love being outdoors. I’ve settled on the Solar Dial watch face. I love how it changes color during the day and its detailed information about the position of the sun helps keep me grounded and has made me more attentive to the seasons.
 
Are any hands on any Apple Watch faces 3D/realistic or are they all forced to be flat design?

Where is this magical place with such precision public transport?

Tokyo. Nothing "magical" about it, they just stick to their timetables. Trains (and buses) are never early - always either on time, or late. So yeah, it's extremely helpful knowing EXACTLY how much time I have to get to the platform, etc. Before the Apple Watch I wore a Casio Edifice mechanical, which synced its time by radio, so it was always perfectly precise. The Apple Watch has always had a seeming aversion to precision, which I've found irritating over the years. At least with watchOS 8 they've added digital and analog seconds as a complication - FINALLY.

Oh, and Singapore. Their public transportation was always on time or late (never early!) as well.

You seem surprised that there could exist a place where clocks are accurate ... lol
