How can I get the old Modular Watch face back?

What I’m saying is that you guys keep trolling out your vast experience, but if I respond with my actual experience with regard to this forum, a description of my actual experience here would actually violate the terms. It’s kind of a crazy conversational situation. And nothing in my experience here was secret at the time, and we were allowed to post openly at the time within the rules. But now to describe it with any details seems to violate the rules, so I literally cannot respond to you. 😂

All of this back and forth about the mechanics of the forum are not helpful to those of us who just want a better watch face. Perhaps those of you who want to discuss it need to start a new thread. Hopefully Apple is paying attention to comments submitted through the feedback link. I don't know if Apple is really paying attention to this forum or not (please do not reply to that point), but it would be nice if someone with authority at Apple would at least say something, if not on the forum in a press release or an email to registered users, so we know if we should stick with an Apple watch or consider Fitbit or Garmin for our next purchase. Or better yet, actually post a workable solution on the forum--the ones posted so far have not helped me, alas.

Don't respond to me. That would be great, actually. There is just no purpose to this discussion at all. And as the poster above correctly points out, isn't going to help anyone get the previous Modular face back.

No one from Apple will respond here. And you'd likely pass out from holding your breath before you see any kind of press release or statement from Apple about a change to a watch face.

Honestly, if this one face is that important to you, important enough to make you consider a competition's product, that's a decision you'll need to make. It's always best to buy the products which best meet your needs.

I never personally cared for the Modular Face, though I did use it long ago. Is there really no other watch face you can use which will meet your needs? I use multiple watch faces, most currently the Wayfinder face, which is exclusive to Apple Watch Ultra. But there are many other faces I use as well.

From my experience the central DATE complication was restored by the 9.2 update. And it is VERY welcome! I wish they would restore the TEMP and BATTERY complications without the circular graphic (not sure of the exact terminology) but the old face used to simply display a larger number.

I've posted another update on the Apple website to ask to have the TEMP and BATTERY complications restored and thanked them for getting the central DATE restored. We all sound like broken records here but why would a developer REPLACE something? ENHANCE, YES, by all means, the more options the better but it's when an option is simply removed with no explanation or justification that infuriates me. I guess all we can do is keep plugging away at them.

It’s infuriating , adding one gimmicky Mickey Mouse garbage after another and removing the only “visible” watch face for people with glassss. Now modular only available in rainbow colours . So typical apple unawareness give us back the large font modular !!!!!

I am so angry that I did this update and there is no way to go back. It has absolutely ruined my watch. The information I used to be able to get from a glance is now so tiny and poorly laid out that it makes it virtually useless. What was wrong with the old center activity layout with your status and targets in large and clear text? Why would anyone want their main complication to be a graph? That doesn’t even show your targets? Great job removing the context AND making the text tiny. I don’t understand this at all and it’s unbelievable that after all of the complaints Apple hasn’t given us the old version as an option again, but hey, they know better than we do about what is useful for us.

I prefer the old modular watch face. I don’t need to know the whole weeks “conditions” just the weather option like it was before. I will look up conditions on my iPhone where I can actually see the information. At the very least, give the option.

Did you tell Apple? See the feedback link above.

Went there, did that and Product Feedback list does not even extend to 9.0 yet so low hopes here for Apple attention.

I agree. The old Modular face displayed targets alongside your activity achieved and was easy to read but can’t find a face that does that anymore. Very frustrating.

You think you can upload the file with old Modular watch face ?? Share Apple Watch faces - Apple Support
