How to Change Watch Face on Apple Watch
There are two effortless ways to choose a different watch face on your Apple Watch quickly. Now, let us see how to add helpful features to the Apple Watch face.
Add Complications to the Watch Face
According to Apple, complications are ‘special features‘ that you can add to some watch faces. Once you do that, you can see information like battery status, weather, stocks, heart rate, etc. at a glance. Complications also let you quickly trigger an action. For example, get to the Phone app quickly. Here is how to add complications to the Apple watch face.
Add Complications from Other Apps
Third-party apps downloaded from the App Store can have their complications for the Apple Watch. Here is how to enable and make use of them. Now, this third-party complication is ready to be used with compatible watch faces. Follow the above steps for this. It is the same as adding any in-built complication. Note: watchOS 7 allows you to add multiple complications from the same app to view different pieces of information at a glance. For instance, if you use the Dawn Patrol app for surfing, you can set up a watch face that shows the water temperature, swell, and wind speed predictions for a beach of your choice.
Change Watch Face Colors, Symbols, Dial, etc.
On supported watch faces, you can change the accent color, style, dial type (analog, digital), number system (Arabic, Indian, Roman, etc.), and more. Here is how.
Set Photo as Watch Face on Apple Watch
There are two easy ways. You can use saved pictures on your Apple Watch to create and set it as a watch face. Or, use the Photos app on the iPhone. Let us look at both.

Change Time Shown in Watch Face
Many people, myself included, like to keep the wristwatch 5 minutes ahead. You can do so with your Apple Watch as well. Please note that thankfully, this change does not affect alarms, the time shown in notifications, world clocks, or any other time. Pretty neat! This new forward time is visible only on the watch face. The time everywhere else, like in the upper right corner of the Apple Watch Settings app or other apps, will continue to be the actual time.
Automatically Change Apple Watch Faces According to Time and Location

As and when the shortcuts created by you will run, your Apple Watch face will switch.
