We often talk about personalisation the Apple Watch with different watch straps such as the ocean band, however today, I want to touch on customising the watch face because Apple's built-in watch face customisation options can be used to complement your strap and make your Apple Watch look even more unique and personalised.

Here's how you can use these options:

  1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone and go to the "My Watch" tab.
  2. Select "Face Gallery" to browse through the available watch faces.
  3. Once you have chosen a watch face, tap on the "Customise" button to access the customisation options.
  4. You can change the colour, style, and layout of the watch face, as well as add or remove complications.
  5. For example, if you have a leather strap, you might want to choose a watch face that has a similar colour scheme or style. You can also match the colour of your watch face's complications with the colour of your strap.
  6. You can also use the "Complications" option to add or remove various complications like battery life, activity, heart rate, etc.
  7. You can also use the "Modify Content" option to change the colour, style, and layout of the watch face.
  8. When you are done customising, tap on "Done" to save your changes.

It's important that the customisation options can vary depending on the watch face you choose, so make sure to explore all the options available for the watch face you have chosen. With the latest watchOS updates, new watch faces are constantly being added with new features and functionalities.
