Top Tips (or hacks if you must)

[profmjh]

Post great ideas you've had or seen involving the Apple Watch.

1. Save a blank white picture in Photos so you can use the watch as a torch.
2. Use Time Travel to move the hands out of the way if you can't see the date at quarter past the hour.
3. Use Modular to have a red clock with no complications to use in the cinema.
4. Use X-Large with white numbers to use in bright sunlight.

It's probably easier to set this as a Photo face.

- Go to world clock on your iPhone
- Add the current city you live in
- Go to the Apple watch app > Clocks > City Abbreviations
- Erase the city you just added in step 2 and just press space instead of typing a name.
- Add this World clock to any analog watch face to see the digital time.


See World clock at top right corner of watch face below.

OR . . . replace the city name with the Apple logo

hmm, never thought of that. I'll give it a whirl. Wonder if emojis will work? Can you try it? my apple watch is in for repair (long story)

The emoji. I've had the Apple logo as my time zone for weeks.

This isn't much of a tip, but it's along the same lines as "theatre mode," which I also use. Since I use the modular watch face most of the time, I have two modular faces setup right next to each other with identical complications, but one is white, and the other is red, and I switch between them based on the ambient light. Usually, I use white until early evening, and then I switch to red.
