WatchOS 9 removed the old Modular watch face and renamed the Infographic Modular to Modular. How can I get the old Modular back? I need the larger numbers for some of the complications like temperature.
[Re-Titled by Moderator]
Apple Watch Series 4
I am SO frustrated with the new modular face! There is no option to put the day/date in the middle. What is Apple thinking!?! The least they could do is keep the old face too! They added a second modular face and that is worse! Can we roll back the update? Very upsetting.
As anyone signed up for email notifications can see, the forum hosts don't take kindly to threats of lawsuits against Apple.

I have also personally brought this thread of comments to the attention of folks who have the ability to alert Apple engineers to this issue you feel so strongly about.
You seem to be under the impression this is OUR forum. It is a user to user only forum hosted by Apple to let users ask other users for technical support. There is nothing anyone here can do to bring back a watch face Apple chose to remove. Complaining about here is a waste of your time as we don't work for Apple, nor do we have any ability to do anything about what Apple chooses to do with their software.
This is NOT a complaint forum. You come here and ask a technical support question. For example: What happened to the Modular Watch Face? Answer: Apple chose to remove that watch face and you'll need to find something else which meets your particular needs.
Anything else, such as getting mad, threatening law suits, won't be tolerated by the forum administrators.

Or, you could tell Apple directly:
Don't be sorry for posting here. Just understand there is no one here on this user to user only forum from Apple and no one here can bring back the face you like.

Post constructive comments and questions. Unless otherwise noted, your Submission should either be a technical support question or a technical support answer. Constructive feedback about product features is also welcome.
As you can see these forums are for tech questions and answers but constructive feedback about product features is welcome. That would include pointing out that a change to the Modular watch face took away an important reason folks with vision issues preferred that watch face. Rants and threats of lawsuits are not constructive feedback.

It’s is a huge issue for some of us.
The new complications were styled for looks not functionality or accessibility.
The modular face is designed for functionality and accessibility by design! The unnecessary ( key word unnecessary) change to the complications negating those benefits is a huge mistake. Why not add stylish complications without unnecessarily removing the ones that are visible and solve the accessibility issue.
Keep telling Apple your thoughts:

Please bring back the modular watch face. It can’t be that difficult a request.
No one here can do that. Tell Apple:
People find it very useful to see the city they’re in at a glance.
How often do you not know where you are?
Agreed! Please take the time to send this request to Apple. The more people do, the greater the chance Apple will listen.
Apple doesn't look at these forums for suggestions, but it's good to keep this conversation going so more and more people can find it!

Yes, they really messed this one up. Especially for a company that touts their "accessability" accomplishments, this is horrible for anyone without the vision of a 19 year old!
Please tell Apple what you think: Feedback - Watch - Apple

How can we get back our modular faces with the larger numbers that show a lot more complications?
You cannot. However, you can let Apple know that you'd like it to be an option in the future.
Welcome to the club Josefy. Many of us a very unhappy with the WatchOS9 update.
There is no way to revert to the old watch faces.
Your best best is to send you feedback to Apple. Here is the link:
I too had this problem. Good news.
The apple watch app on the iPhone has a bug. The calendar catagory is missing the date option. This we all know.
But you can also edit complications directly on the watch. This method shows the day date option! But you first have to turn off the day date on the upper complication. Voila!

So disappointed in my brand, new Apple Watch, and the options for watch faces. The old modular face was perfect. I absolutely hate the five day forecast, you can’t see it! It’s pretty apparent this was designed by somebody young. Come on Apple you can do better! Appeal to the masses not just younger people.
Apple doesn’t read here for feedback or suggestions. You should let them know your thoughts here:
Read the thread you responded to before posting to the first post. If you had, you'd learn you're not speaking to Apple. You're just speaking with other users on a user to user only forum, none of whom work for Apple or have any ability to bring anything back.
But in this thread a user did find a workaround and if you read the thread, you can try it.
Otherwise, provide feedback to Apple here --> Feedback - Watch - Apple
