How can I get the old Modular Watch face back?

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.

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.

I've posted a second feedback on the Apple Watch feedback site and reported this as an accessibility defect in Watch OS 9.0. Like many others I can no longer read the TEMP or the DAY/DATE which now only appears top right because they've removed the option to support a LARGE DAY/DATE in the center complication.

I now need my glasses to see those values but I don't need my glasses while driving so this has certainly taken away the watches' fitness for purpose for me. I guess there's no need to rant about this also being simply a stupid thing to do and why you wouldn't simply leave the existing options available but it does make me feel better :-)! Happy Veterans Day to those who served!

Please Please read past the first post to learn you are NOT speaking with Apple, but are instead addressing only users on a user to user only forum. Most of whom, by the way seem to agree with you. None of whom however, can bring anything back.


Use the feedback link which has been posted multiple time in this thread to share your thoughts with Apple.

If you actually read the thread you just posted to, you'd see no one on this user to user only forum has anything to do with Apple nor does anyone here have any ability to bring anything back. It's usually good to read past the first post.


There is a feedback link posted multiple times in the thread, which you can use to let Apple know what you want.

I to am I’m very disappointed they took this face away. My husband visually impaired and is a diabetic with an insulin pump and can’t read his dexcom on the watch now. Since they remove this face he has not worn his watch at all. None of the face have large enough numbers to read. He is looking for a watch to read. Please put it back please
