I originally just had a big grid of apps, but I've decided to go with apple apps on the right, 3rd party on the left.

Totally borrowed your idea - it makes so much sense! Thank you for the inspiration :)

Awesome! I'm glad it works for you as well. It makes sense for me because I know the general area of everything instead of having to memorize another home screen.

100% agree - I'm using stock apps more than 3rd party - much easier to find!

I got my watch face as simple as possible, and the main menu colour coded..

That's awesome! The only thing holding me back from using the Simple face is the lack of being able to have a stock showing on the face. Other than that, I love it!

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet. In the Apple Watch app and can change the city abbreviations for the world clock complication to anything you want.

Apple Watch app > Clock > City Abbreviations

Loving the ability to branch out on the home screen instead of just have everything as a big blob, it's better than fiddling around in a large mesh to find the app you want, just swipe in the general direction you want and you're there!

I've gone for:
Top: Fitness related apps
Bottom: Communication
Left: General organisation and miscellaneous
Right: Media (with all the "time" related apps as a branching block)

Still not finished yet but an enjoyable start :)

This is the best home screen I've seen. Branching makes much more sense than trying to make a symmetrical shape.

Thanks! It's a tiny bit bigger and more organised now but still largely the same. Thinking about it, the main aspect of its usefulness is the maximised surface area - almost every app is on the "edge" of the shape, making accidental tapping of the wrong app much less likely, especially with massive fingers like mine!

Here's my home screen. I hope I never have to change it because it is very touchy and not easy to get the app icons placed like this. It would be nice if Apple allowed a more free form and flexible home screen layout that would allow separate groupings of app icons, rather then requiring all apps to be "stuck" together.

Be careful of what app you delete. It can ruin your life, I mean layout. I learned the hard way.
