Q: Digital Time with Seconds!?

Does anyone know if I can get a face somewhere for my apple watch that has Digial time with seconds?! I work in healthcare and it would be so much easier if I can just use a digital face.

Apple Watch Sport 42mm, iOS 9.3.2

    Hi

     

    That feature is not presently available as part of watchOS - and it is not presently possible to install third-party watch faces on Apple Watch.

     

    If you would like to suggest that Apple considers adding a watch face with a digital time display that includes seconds, you can do so here:

    I'm afraid it does not presently exist.

     

    Be sure to let Apple know of your preference.

    I have already written to Apple twice about this and I am quite discouraged that this most basic functionality is not available for the digital watch faces. It seems that Apple is exhibiting a type of "mother knows best" mentality in that in-house designers have decided for us that seconds might be less appealing to the watch face aesthetic.

     

    It would be better to let the individual user decide what is best for his/her own circumstances.

    It is absurd, that a digital watch cannot show the time accurately, including the seconds, in a digital format. After all, the Apple Watch is a watch and not a toy. But we really cannot do more than to report any usability problem to the developers. The more of us will send feedback the better. Some things changed already, so the developers are listening to the user concerns.
