Adding seconds to time display on face

Just receive the Apple Watch Series 6, so I am very

new to this. I have used iPhones for years. Anyhow,

I am trying to figure out how to update the appearance

of the digital time. Minimally I want to show seconds

but tenths of minutes may do. Also, can I adjust the font and

size of the digital text?

Apple Watch Face “World Time” Map will not update Hello, i have the Apple Watch 8 and use the Modular Compact watch face with the world time widget, unfortunately it only updates the Map when I restart the device. It would be nice to have it update automatically, so I can make a guess on what time it is on certain parts on the world.

World clock complications not refreshing For a few weeks now, world clock complications on modular watch faces do not refresh on my Apple Watch 4. I have an iPhone 11 Pro iOS 16.1.1. This has actually made me miss appointments because I look at the digital time display in the complications when I’m working. They don’t refresh by opening the app, having world clock in the dock, resetting my watch, erasing it, re-pairing it, restarting my phone and watch, or turning off background app refreshing and turning it back on and restarting. I’ve also tried turning wifi and Bluetooth and airplane mode on and off and restarting in different combinations. The only way the complications refresh is by having two faces with the complications at least two faces apart and swiping over to the other one. Then they both update. But it’s really inconvenient to need to swipe twice every time I want to look at my watch. anyone have any new suggestions for fixing this? It seems like it’s an issue with the latest update, but thought I’d try asking.

Screen Time Request Issues Since the new IOS update 16.0 ive noticed issues with responding to the screen time request on both my phone and apple watch. Both are updated but now I only receive screen time requests via text message, when before I would get a notification in the banner. Previously I could push and hold the notification (on both my phone or apple watch) and it would pop up the option to approve 15minutes, 1 hour, all day or decline. Now on my apple watch i get the notification as a text message and am unable to approve or deny the request, the message says i need to go to messages on phone or mac to answer. I have not changed my settings on neither watch nor phone. Even on my phone i only get the request notifications via text, they no longer pop up in the banner as an actual notification to approve it. How can I fix this?? I dont want to keep getting text for the screen time requests, and I want to be able to once again approve request from my watch.

There are a lot of things that you can do with the Apple Watch faces. See this and you can make choices. Apple Watch faces and their features - Apple Support

Not all faces will display what you want. You will have to check to see what may meet your needs.
