custom watch face with analog hands? It will only show digital time. What’s the deal!?

When I am creating a custom watch face with an image I like, it will only allow me the option of a digital time display. How can I change that to show analog hands, the option isn’t even allowed on my iwatch se. What’s the deal Apple!?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 8

A way to request a new watch face concept? Is there a way to make a new-concept watch face? I have an idea that sort of combines digital and analog clock faces as well as sort of a progress bar-type thing. None of the faces available in the Watch app are customizable in the way that the time is actually shown, which is what I want to customize.

How to get clock face to show on apple watch when using pedometer I use a pedometer app and when I have it activated my apple watch face defaults to a completely black face with the time in the top right corner and my steps and miles and time on the right side. I want my clock face to show and for this stuff to run in the background. How do I get the clock watch face to stay on rather than this ugly data face? It's annoying to always have to press the crown to get the nice clock face to display. See photos (2nd on is the one I would like to display all the time). Thank you.

portrait watch face top front/back option not showing. I've got a new apple watch, and have put several portrait image sin with no problem. When I try to move/scale them, I only get the option to put the time on the top or the bottom. There's no option to put the time behind the image. Any idea why?
