Q: Can I turn off watch face selection process?

I received my 42" Sport Apple Watch for a graduation present a few months ago and love it so far but one thing really bothers me.

I know its not exactly good posture but whenever I cross my arms and my arm with the Apple Watch is under my other arm the Apple Watch activates the watch face selection screen. Sometimes I've looked down to see not only the watch face changed but also re customized as well.

My question is...Is there any way to turn off the ability to change watch faces in settings?

If not, I would like to suggest it as a future feature as I am sure other people have had issues with this.

Apple Watch, watchOS 2.2.1, null

Hi

It is not presently possible to disable the process for selecting or customising watch faces.

However, Apple has recently announced that the watch face selection process will change (to swiping sideways) under watchOS 3, the upcoming software update that is due for release this coming Autumn / fall.

If you would like to suggest that Apple considers adding new options for controlling such features, you can do so here:
