So ... what do you think of the new watch faces in watchOS26?

I'm mainly looking forward to experimenting with the so-called (and amusingly-called) "Exactograph" face.
I really want to like Waypoint but i dont use any waypoints and i feel having the compass flying around all the time is (maybe) a battery hog.
Its a shame you cant turn all that off.

I still don’t see anything that I like more than Modular Ultra, which is a shame because I’d rather wear an S10/S11 as my daily watch than an AWU.
I’ll let you know when I actually upgrade, probably in a week or so
Nope. Thing is, you have to enable beta updates for the RC, right? Don’t want to deal with that, esp not on the watch.
And as for faces, I’ve used the wayfinder, the analog one, since I got my Ultra 1 3 years ago, I can’t stand digital faces and don’t bother changing them. Tried the snoopy and it’s cute, but I look at some complications throughout the day … I’m just a boring guy

As us Cockneys say … you’re a diamond 😉.
Hard same. I do like Waypoint but definitely would prefer Modular Ultra. Unfortunately I do no want an Ultra.
I will never, ever understand why Apple thinks that only Ultra users deserve to have their digital time in that format in the center of the watch face.
LOL. Thank you, appreciate it.
And I'm prod of you overcoming your fomo this year, well done and congratulations!
I have an orange 17PM ready in the app to pre-order tomorrow, though I'm still not 100% convinced. I know it'll be better than my 13PM in all aspects, just not sure that I need it...
I'm not pre-ordering.
That initial urge has surpassed.
I'll pop into my "local" Apple Store, when I'm nearby, and if they have any PMs, I'll maybe get one.
Other than that, my 16PM is solid.
Also, 100% battery health.
It's always harder at first, resisting that "Apple urge," but once the initial buzz has passed, you can see things with clear eyes (Apple's marketing is second to none.)
Anyway, if I get one, it'll be either navy or silver.
That orange 😳.
I love that orange!!!!! My orange ocean band still is my favorite for my U2.
But I also have a blue tech woven case in my basket, think it'll be a good combo
Ah…yes it does do Solar.

I have OS26 on my iPhone but not my watch, so as jz0309 says, I'll let you know Monday. I DO hope there are some new digital faces. For example, I like Wayfinder and it's my go to face for hiking, but it is analog only. I've never understood why so many of the faces are analog. Apple does know this is a digital watch, right?
Find someone that loves you like Apple loves analog watch faces.
Can't believe I have to wait another year with the hopes that the 1-2 digital watch faces that will be released are something that I like.
