Apple Watch is first and foremost an incredibly accurate timepiece. It does everything a watch should, but in ways no other watch ever has. It’s also connected to your calendar and your contacts. So in addition to showing you the time, Apple Watch actually understands what time means to you. It helps you be more productive and efficient. So you get more out of every moment.

Faces. Choose a face and customize it however you like. Add more functionality. Switch colors and see even more detail, such as minutes, seconds, and milliseconds.
Complications. An alarm, the weather, when the sun rises and sets. You can see information that’s relevant to you and how you spend your time.
Glances. A quick swipe shows what’s important to you as you go through the day: your next meeting, sports scores, stocks, and even a map to your next destination.
A device you wear is unlike one you put in your bag or pocket, because it makes a bigger statement about your personal style. So Apple Watch faces are designed to be extensively customizable, from how they look to what they do. When you combine all the possible options, there are virtually endless ways to make Apple Watch your own.
Most watches are designed with a single face. But Apple Watch comes with a range of watch faces — from traditional to playful to artful to educational. You can change them whenever you like, and explore many different ways to see time. Watch the “Faces” Guided Tour
Chronograph. Modeled on the very first analog stopwatches, this face measures time in incredibly precise increments. It uses two hands: one for total time and a second for lap times. A customizable timescale measures long and short time periods.
Color. A bold and clean design shows the time in a range of bright colors that you can change to suit your mood. Use the Digital Crown to choose a color. Keep things minimal or add complications for even more functionality.
Modular. The flexible grid design easily accommodates the greatest number of complications for a rich view into your day ahead. When you tap one, you’ll go right to the corresponding app.
Utility. This practical face can be as simple or as detailed as you’d like. It has plenty of space to clearly display three complications, including names of meetings and calendar events.
Mickey Mouse. This beloved classic is more animated than ever. As Mickey’s arms move naturally around the dial, he points to the hour and minute and taps his foot every second.
Simple. Start with an elegant, minimalistic view that puts time front and center. Then adjust the amount of detail on the dial, from light to dense. Even with complications, this face maintains a clean and refined design.
Motion. A butterfly flutters. A jellyfish swims. A flower blooms. Choose a theme, and each time you raise your wrist you’ll see a different species, color, and movement.
Solar. Based on your current location and the time of day, you can see the sun’s position in the sky — at dawn, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, dusk, and solar midnight. Follow the solar path over time as you turn the Digital Crown.
Astronomy. Working with astrophysicists, we’ve created this digital orrery. Turn the Digital Crown to see the solar system and the exact position of the planets, sun, and moon as you move forward or go back in time. View different scales: A day by one rotation of the earth, a month by moon phases, and a year by the passage of planets around the sun.
One Apple Watch face can have a multitude of looks. When you choose a face, you can also choose the colors and indicate even more details of time, like minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. So when you glance down at your wrist, you see time precisely the way you like.
Many watches include a few specialized functions — known in watchmaking as complications — that go beyond telling the time. But Apple Watch comes with a full range that can be added to most faces. Some complications are traditional, such as moon phases or sunrises and sunsets. Some are more modern, like stock quotes, weather reports, your next calendar event, and a daily activity tracker. And you can tap on certain complications to get more information from their corresponding apps.

Working with iPhone, Apple Watch continually checks against the definitive global time standard with the same precision found in GPS satellites. It’s so precise, the second hand (or in Mickey’s case, foot) of every Apple Watch across the world is in sync. When daylight saving time begins, Apple Watch simply changes to the new time. And if you move from one time zone to another, Apple Watch automatically adjusts. You never once have to set the time yourself.
Stopwatch. Apple Watch presents this popular watch function in digital, analog, or hybrid view. It can even show you a real-time average of your lap times on a graph — something you won’t find on other watches.
Timer. Keep track of timed events precisely and easily. As the timer runs, an orange line moves around the dial, giving you a visual sense for how much time has passed and how much is left.
Alarm. Apple Watch lets you manage, label, and edit multiple alarms with ease. Simply scroll through the hours and minutes to set your wake‑up time.
World Clock. Doing business in another time zone or calling a friend overseas? World Clock shows you the time in different cities around the globe in one quick look.
We all share the same time. But what happens during that time is different for everyone. So Apple Watch doesn’t just keep accurate time. It allows you to see time in the ways that are most meaningful — and useful — to you.
Apple Watch is seamlessly connected to your calendar, maps, and reminders, so it can send notifications and alerts based around your life and schedule. It keeps you on track and on time by sending you quick notifications you can read, along with a tap you can feel.
Where. Apple Watch doesn’t just tell you the time — it tells you where you need to be next.
When. It even alerts you when you need to leave to get to your next appointment on time.
How. Apple Watch considers route maps and traffic conditions to calculate the time you’ll need for your trip.
