2015-04-08
how do you tell time on the Apple watch with watch faces of course Apple has ten of them built into the Apple watch and they're all customizable and they're probably the most beautiful thing that's on this watch so I want to give a little tour as to the ones that are the best and the ones are the most interesting a lot of apples watch faces take this round dial approach this one's pretty simple but they're all customizable so you could actually change the way that the dial looks the color elements and what are called complications which is the watch industry term for all those little bits of information around here like the date you can add them here from a limited set that Apple allows you to put in in certain predefined spots on each watch face this one is kind of a bare-bones informational dashboard that looks a Morgan digital watch and gives you lots of panes of information one of the few non round watch faces on the wash and this one is probably one of the most beautiful it's a motion watch face that brings up pictures of butterflies or flowers or jellyfish which is my favorite and they're fully animated little mini videos of jellyfish throbbing and moving right alongside the time the most amazing one might be the planetary watch face this one actually shows your position and it shows day and night conditions you can roll the crown here and find out what the day and night conditions are and any date and time in the future or the past it'll also show you what the moon is up to what the lunar cycle is in case you're curious and again scanning back and forth through time and you can press a button here that shows you all the planetary alignments a solar cycle watch face shows you when the Sun is setting and rising and the average length of the day depending on where you are and again allows you to scroll back and forth to see pretty little animations there's a chronograph which works like a stopwatch and allows you to also customize how the dial is laid out and there's Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse was also on the iPod Nano back in 2011 this one's more fully animated maybe it's a sign of disney watch faces to come now you can only use apple's ten watch faces now with all the extra customization settings you can add more from third parties an apple doesn't seem to be having any more coming immediately hopefully there will be because they may we'll watch look incredibly unique and I want more I'm Scott Stein with the watch faces on a pariah
