You can customize the look of the watch face right on your Apple Watch or iPhone with just extremely simple operations.

Customize your watch face on Apple Watch

To customize the watch face right on your Apple Watch, first swipe from the left or right side of the screen to change the look of the face.

With that said, each watch face will have different custom packs. In this example, we will be using the Typography watch faces available on watchOS 7 and up.

On the watch face you want to customize, simply long press the screen, then tap ' Edit '.

In the ' Dial ' section of the watch face customization interface, you can switch between the two available modes. By default, only four major time markers are displayed. You can use the Digital Crown to cycle through the available options.

The second option shows all 12-hour markers. You can swipe left at any time to switch to the next layout style.

In the " Style " section you can change the font style of the timestamps.

Next, swipe left to access the ' Symbols ' section. You can choose Roman, Arabic or Devanagari numerals.

Swipe left again to customize the ' Color ' section. You can use the Digital Crown to go through all the available color options.

When finished customizing the watch face, tap the Digital Crown to save your changes. Then tap the Digital Crown again to return to the main watch face.
