The Apple Watch “Home” screen can be customized to display the time in several different ways, and it can include different types of information.
This customization is possible by adding and installing a new watch face on the device.
This can be done through the Watch app on your iPhone, which offers a good amount of variety to help you get the information that is most important to you in a centralized location on the watch.
Our guide below will show you where to go to download and install a new watch face on your Apple Watch so that you can start using it right away.
