The Snoopy Watchface is the best new addition in watchOS 10

[Mikeske]

yeah I know about the ultra and I could not justify the cost of the ultra when I was bought the 45 MM series 8 GPS as I always have my iPhone nearby being that I am retired but I also wanted it for the health monitoring. I originally had an original Apple Watch until last October and it croaked so I replaced it with a 41 MM series 8 GPS. My wife kept swiping it and I had found a 44MM series 6 in a thrift store that had no charger and showed no signs of life for $20.00 I put it on a charger and it came to life and had no activation lock on it. I grabbed it for myself. So l was at a Apple Store 3 months ago about a different issue and just for grins I asked how much I get on trade and it was a fair price for the series 6 so I traded for the 45 MM series 8 GPS.

Since Snoopy is in my watch I just enjoy the face that happens

Ah — sorry, my mistrake. For some reason, your photo looked to me more like one of an Ultra inside a case than a S8.

For what it’s worth … here’s the difference between the two when it comes to durability:

Cheers,

For me too the Snoopy Watch Face was the go-to face after I installed WatchOS 10. Really loved the animations. Found useful the widgets also because there are no complications on this face so I can have further information with a simple swipe. Only didn’t find any 3rd party widget yet, apart from MLB scores.

About battery life, i just upgraded it from 79% to a new one so I have an overall improvement…

This Snoopy face is seriously tempting me to install watchOS 10.

I had a tough couple of days and was a bit down today. Upgraded to Snoopy and had a smile on my face every time I looked at the watch. So cute and uplifting - love that it’s animated. I thought is was impossible to be more dependent on my AW, but I was wrong. Now it’s responsible for uplifting my mood. (I think I need a 12 step program) Thanks for the post! It’s the little things in life that make the biggest impact.

I thought this thread was a bit of a pisstake, but have to agree. I just went from a S7 to an ultra 2 and thought the modular face would be my go to, but I’m absolutely loving the Snoopy watch face.
I normally love having loads of complications, but once I tried this face there’s no going back! Love it!

The complete OS overhaul that makes navigation so much better? Nah

The addition of cycling workouts? Also nah

The side button being changed to be more useful? You guessed it, nah

The real highlight of watchOS 10 ain't the complete rework that makes watchOS a lot more usable, the real highlight is HIM:

I'm genuinely serious, the Snoopy watchface is the best addition to watchOS 10. At first I wrote it off as just a cute addition. When I used the watchface though, I realized the watchface is more than just cute. The amount of work that was put into this face having Snoopy and friends fully animated with the watch hands is incredible. There's a vast amount of different animations they will do and it makes the watch face really come alive. Everytime you lift up your wrist to see the time, Snoopy does something that really brightens your day. The watchface is a really good mood improver just from watching the things they do on your watch.

Honestly this watchface is proof Apple needs to allow people to make and sell watchfaces on the App Store. People want more watchfaces like this, things you can do on an Apple Watch you can't do on a "real watch."

Agree 1000000%. Makes me smile every time I look down at my watch. Best update ever.

Another Snoopy face lover. I have that right next to my usual Modular Ultra face. That way I can press/hold and easily switch back and forth. I'm amazed at the detail in the animations that are so readable on the small screen. Kudos, Apple!

 

[Mikeske]

Oh I am jumping back from the modular to Snoopy the vast majority of the time since Snoopy came out in the watch I am staying with it as it gives me a smile to look at

 

[blueyz628]

I have been loving Snoopy since the betas... I missed the complications at first but now I'm so used to swiping up and now more apps are available in the stacks, Snoopy is going to be my "go to" face

 

[Saturn007]

It'd be great if they gave us an option to add complications, too!

After all, Snoopy faces all sorts of complications, from the Red Baron to the after-effects of Woodstock's New Year's parties!

All the more reason why Apple needs to open watchOS up to third party watch faces. It's clear, people want fun watch faces. There's so much you can do with a digital watch that can really make it come alive

Here's an example. In 2020 for Mario's 35th anniversary Nintendo brought back their first handheld system from the 80s: the Game & Watch. These were little monochrome simple gaming handhelds that also told the time. But for Mario's Anniversary they made a brand new LED Game & Watch that could play Super Mario Bros 1 as well as Lost Levels and a special Mario themed version of the first Game & Watch game "Ball." Of course since it was a Game & Watch, it also functioned as a clock, and the clock portion was Mario running through your clock full of little enemies, and he would change the time by smashing the blocks, and special things happened at certain times of day.

We need third party watch faces like this. Apple, let people make watch faces like this and sell them on the App Store for $1-5 a pop. They would do numbers.

Yea, when I first bought a series 0 apple watch, my running joke was that I paid $300 for the world's best mickey mouse watch. It really was, too. Mickey taps his foot and tells the time when you tap him! and there's even minnie!

The snoopy watchface is the same idea but taking it TO THE NEXT LEVEL! I love it!

It'd be neat if tapping it told the time in the same sort of way - maybe with Charlie Brown or some of the Peanuts gang? Or just snoopy barking the time lol IDK.

 

[arthur486]

I mean you could never tell , but I really love the Snoopy watch face, even more than I thought I would. I have not tracked the battery life since using it, but it does not appear worse. Perhaps only because now I keep tapping the watch to see Snoopy's shenanigans.

 

[dmr727]

Added! Thanks @Spaceboi Scaphandre for the heads up!

 

[BotchQue]

If watchOS 11 also includes some Calvin & Hobbes animations, I will buy an Apple Watch.

Funny, I came here to state that even this child of the 60’s can’t change his workflow to accommodate the Snoopy face, but for Hobbes I might be willing to give up my complications. 😭❤️

Have loved this since it showed up in beta and, my 7 month old grandson loves it as well!

I couldn’t agree more. Every time I switch over to the Snoopy watch face I get excited.

I have been using the Snoopy watch face on my Series 8 since it was released, and enjoying it very much.

I know there are supposedly 148 animations so it is very possible that I have not seen many of them yet, especially since some of them are context-aware.

However, I just set up a new Series 9 and in the first 15 minutes I've seen a whole bunch of animations (at least a half dozen so far) that I have not yet seen on my S8 after a week of having Snoopy on it. I know that it's probably just coincidence but I wonder if some of the animations are reserved for the new watches? (I see no reason why this would be.) Just seems a bit curious...

I totally agree. It’s an instant mood boost.

 

[klky]

I absolutely love the Snoopy watch face. I'm almost tempted to upgrade my S6 to the S9 just to push this watch face all the way to the edge!

 

[Asthmatic Kitty]

Agreed, it's delightful! And hard not to smile with some of the cute animations 💚

 

[Saturn007]

What's the verdict on Snoopy's hit to the battery life?

Does the Red Baron attack the Apple Watch — perhaps riddling the lithium-ion battery with holes?! 🙈

Best,

[dotzero123]

I'm not sure about the effect on battery, but they're so cute! Not sure why this is so fun, just a cartoon, but I keep looking down throughout the day to see what they're up to. Haven't ever been so entertained by a small animation.

 

[Saturn007]

They sound wonderful.

You — and others — would probably enjoy the actual strips, too! There are many well done, inexpensive, paperback Peanuts collections featuring Snoopy, Woodstock, and the gang, with high quality color printing.

Apple TV hosts a bunch of the classic TV short movies, too, including many old ones that have received little repeat airplay on TV or other streaming services. They are quite fun, especially if you are easily amused and willing to appreciate light comedy.
