Amen to that. It’s analog overload. If I wanted a round watchface, I’d buy a round Watch.

More Apple Watch Faces?

For sure, the more people do it, the better chance we have of some changes, at least in theory!
I'd like to see some actual new watch faces. For the last few years they seem to release weird or hard to read designs just to be hip and trendy but I really would prefer a little effort to go towards designing some analogue and digital watch faces that look... well, like watches instead of designs with the time hidden in them.
The thing is, I want working watch faces that allow me to select different complications that look like a watch rather than a promotion for whatever is in fashion today. They did start off doing that but seem to have been distracted somewhat. The faces I tend to use now are ones from years ago because they haven't added anything new. If they don't want to design more actual watch faces, open it up to third parties that do!
Same. Sometimes I like the funky watch faces, but sometimes I just want a big nasty digital time large in the center. Give me Infograph Modular with the time in the center and complications above and below it.
I think the Infograph face can hold 8? More faces than just that one would certainly be welcome.
Depends on which Infograph. The Infograph Modular think only has room for 4 circles
I remember way back when I had a Pebble I had an awesome watch face that was the numbers flying through space at warp speed with the stars going by constantly. The Pebble had an e-ink screen so it was always on. It shot my battery to hell but it looked freakin’ awesome and really got lots of attention.
Although 90%, maybe 95%, of all the watch faces at the Pebble watch face store (user contributions) fell into these three categories.
1. Boobs & Butts
2. F&2# this or that
3. The middle finger
I can imagine the executives at Apple perusing the Pebble watch face store and saying “We are NEVER going this route!”.
But the other 5% was great.

It had a dinky screen but the watch face selection was so huge that you could literally pick a new watch face every morning.
Pebble really kicked off the whole smart watch industry. However, they suffered from poor quality, customer service, and never spent enough on R&D to keep up with the newcomers. Sounds a lot like Tesla. They won’t be around in 10 years either.

Looks like the Metropolitan watch face in Watch OS 9
So here is my Metropolitan face (right) and a photo of what I *think* is Metropolitan from this site (left and here):

The one shown on this site shows stretched numerals, but I cannot figure out how to get stretched numerals on my Apple Watch face. Does anyone know how to do this?
