I don’t have the edit button after I hold down the clock app. Why is that? Thanks

That's because you can't change how the Clock App looks in iOS 26. The App icon is the App icon Apple chose and it can't be changed.
If you really want the icon to look different, you can create a shortcut and make the icon look the way you want, but change the actual app icon, you cannot.
Here is how to create an App icon shortcut --> https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-250011008

lets keep on topic about the clock face, not lock screen clock
You are chiding IdrisSeabright for CORRECTLY answering a user about the Lock Screen clock. WHY? The response was exactly what the user she responded to asked about.

Let's keep on the topic of answering questions, not dictating how other people respond.
ETA: Your original question has been answered, and the subject has been pretty much beaten into the ground. Answering a related question has taken nothing from you.

But that is NOT the topic.
When you buy the forum, you can instruct people on what they can post or not. Until then, getting upset because someone asked a somewhat related question, which was answered correctly didn't hurt anyone, including you.

Alpha Eridani 3, if it matters.
I understand you don't like the fact that the answer is "No, you can't do that." But it is the answer. More discussion will not change that.
You have been given the instructions for how to submit feedback to Apple.

I also do not like the clock face in the OS 26 update. I wish you would give us the ability to change it.
Then why don’t you tell Apple, rather than other users in this user tech support forum?
In today's tech world, customization s/b easy w/ a variety of choices. The Apple Clock app design on the home isn't very good and the only 1 choice to change it isn't good. The menu is not exactly clear and there s/b more choices! The long pressing on the Lock Screen isn't working very well either. It's says to unlock for changes and then the unlock takes you to the home screen. It s/b very simple to change the clock and date font choices and the one time it did work, the time clock choices are very limited. Trying to change the date never worked even after a hard restart. For a big tech co., the user interface menu, choices, user friendly tech is is not good. If the long pressing just doesn't work, there s/b editing options in the General/Settings menu.

Have you told Apple what you think? You can using this --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple
Nothing you've written above will be seen by Apple as this is a user to user only forum, which Apple doesn't read for user feedback.
I would also like to change the clock face for the clock app in iOS26. Not a fan of the MCM-look.
So you did not see the previously-posted information??
I’m an older user and find the new clock face a bit challenging to read. Maybe next update, let us choose?
“I just want the old Swiss clock back for easier reading.”
