how can you change the position of the time in a custom watch face on Series 10 watch

When I first started the set up of my watch, I was in a screen that allowed me to choose the position of the time on the screen, along with the font, etc. Then there was an update. Now I cannot change the position - it is always at the top. Am I missing something or is it simply not possible to change the position of the time on a custom face? I changed from Flux to a photo from my photo library.

Thanks!

Apple Watch Series 10, watchOS 11

Do you mean you're using the Photos face? If so, as I recall, it was changed with the release of watchOS 11.

It appears that you can change the font to one of three options, the style, and the color. Changing the position doesn't seem to be an option anymore.

Sending feedback is always recommended.

There are apps in the App Store that let you build your own watch face. I've only played with them a little, so I can't really tell you if they let you do what you want or how well they work. But, something to try.

Thanks for that - the right hand gives and the left takes away, I guess. I have sent in feedback. Just got the watch, started the configuration. Got sidetracked. Came back to it, saw the update, ran it, and lost that option. I hope they put it back. Really appreciate the faces and features link. Thanks again.
