How to remove or change the Lock Screen NOT the Apple Watch face?

I’d like to learn how to remove or change the Lock Screen NOT the watch face. I love the Mickey Mouse watch face that I selected however, the only way to see it is to enter my passcode. I want to keep the passcode so I can protect my data on my watch but why bother programming a watch face if I can only access it by typing in my passcode. If I want to look down and glance and see what time it is I’d like to see something I selected AKA I selected a watch face for a reason. I’d like to see it on the lock screen. I’d appreciate any help.

On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Wrist Detection - turn this on. Then, as long as you wear the watch after unlocking it you will not have to enter the passcode each time you But when you take your watch off, it will require the passcode the next time that you put it on.


Also go to My Watch > Display & Brightness and turn on Wake on Wrist Raise.
