Apple Watch - Mix analog face with digital info

I really like the analog clock face - it carries so much information with a glance.


But all the current Apple Watch faces that have an analog time presentation put the analog face huge in the middle of the screen, relegating the digital information (battery power, temperature, date, etc.) into the corners or other tiny areas. Because they are forced into small areas, the font is so small that those of us over 50 cannot read it.


I have a proposed solution. There is no reason that an analog clock face must be large and in the center of the screen.

I have a mockup, which I built as follows:

  • Start with the MODULAR face, and shrink the day/date portion so it's not so big. Keep it pinned to the left hand side.
  • Now, remove the digital time presentation. This frees up the top right corner of the screen.
  • Now take dial portion of the COLOR or SIMPLE or UTILITY analog watch face and shrink it just enough so that it still fits in the screen space and place it at the top-right (where the digital time used to be).

Now, with a glance, you can see the analog time and still have the digital portions of the screen in large enough font to read.


Someone please, PLEASE build a watch face like this!

Apple Watch, null
