I was kind of surprised that Apple has almost every other watch face but nothing for Christmas unless I missed it?
Got a tip for us?

Watch OS---No Christmas watch faces?

I really liked last week's Fibonacci Day face. With Day of the Ninja next week that's going to be a tough act to follow.
I never mentioned anything about any other Holidays.....triggered?...Found them anyway on the "Watch faces" app...free but you have to watch a commercial before installing. After that, there's no more commercials, just install...Anyway, Carry on...

Unfortunately I'm not surprised at all.
I'm not happy with the faces we have for regular days, much less holidays.
I sure wish we had the option for third party watch faces.

I asked a question. I wasn’t rude when I asked it. But since you want to take it there I’ll just say that Christmas is a holiday. Happy holidays to you.
I keep hoping for that too. Designers would make fantastic faces! Maybe someday!
You’re correct. When I had to use an Android for work, their watch faces looked realistic. From the bezel to the band to the watch face, it looked like a real watch….and that was in 2017.
I do like how the Apple Watch functions though, it would be nice to have some realistic looking watch faces added.
Soon after I set a realistic looking face (GMT is one of my favorites), I start wondering what the point is to try and emulate a realistic (analog) face on a digital device. A case of skeuomorphism?
And then I find myself going back to the boring Activity Digital ☺️
Seriously. I would absolutely pay for a watch face that I like considering that I look at it every day. Maybe one year we'll finally get what we want.
The snoopy face had a thanksgiving animation. I’d guess there’s something in there for Christmas.
There’s also the photos face. You can add your own backgrounds.
But, overall, the selection of watch faces Apple has sucks.

Same! I’ve paid for desktop wallpaper packs simply because I thought the artist was talented. I really hope will make this happen.
I would also like some animated Christmas faces...a snowglobe effect would be nice. Right now I just make my own with rotating photos of Rudolph, Yukon Cornelius, Clarice, Hermey, the Abominable Snowman, etc
I read that statement the same way J Baby did.
Still don't get your response to what was a legitimate question.
After all, if they supposedly have “almost every other watch face”, it suggests they offer a bunch of holiday ones— President's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, etc.
Wish they did!
It also suggests Apple offers faces covering a raft of things — celestial objects, celebrities, sports, national parks, sun dials, hour glasses, ad infinitum.
As you can see, “almost every other watch face” is sweeping. Such hyperbole does “trigger” one thing — questions! 😁
What did you actually mean by it? (That’s a question, not a criticism, so don't be triggered by it! 😎)
It was a striking statement given that a big, ongoing complaint is how limited Apple's offerings are — and the frequent clamoring for Apple to allow third parties to make their own watch faces.
In any case, I'm with you that it would be good fun to see Christmas watch faces — along with some of the others, holiday and non-holiday, that I mentioned!

Thank you for understanding where I was coming from.
I was simply surprised that one of the most celebrated Holidays doesn't have a watch face for it----There are third party faces but the battery life on my watch is drastically reduced when using them.
My main point for asking if they had Christmas watch faces---Was to stop looking or keep looking so a simple "no" or "directed Yes" would suffice and I'd move on my Merry way (pun intended) LOL.
This is a forum and that's how we find things out...I'm fairly new to about (a few years) and like their products so I frequent this site and get great information here....anyway---Merry Christmas and thanks for the help.
