Watch face that doesn’t change colour?

I’m considering getting an Apple Watch with an always on display.


I’ve never used one before so don’t really understand how the faces work.


In videos of people demonstrating the watch, it seems that many of the faces change colour depending on whether the wrist is raised - e.g. going from white on black, to black on white.


Personally, I don’t want that. I think it would be distracting. I just want the face to stay the same regardless of whether my wrist is up or down.


So my question is: is that possible?


Thank you in advance.

I have always on and I haven't had a single watch face change colour yet,what happens is when you drop your wrist the watch screen dims and when you raise your wrist the screen lights up to full brightness again;

Okay thanks everyone.


I don't have an Apple Watch myself - I am just considering it. If I do get one, it'll probably be a series 7.


It's important to me that I can use faces that don't change radically when I raise/lower my wrist (other than a slight change in brightness, which would be fine).
