With the release of watchOS 8 next week, Apple Watch will once again gain several new watch faces. We go hand in hand with the new facial options and discuss the exclusive options of the Apple Watch Series 7.
Portrait
The portrait is the most striking of the new faces, as it brings the photos of the portrait mode to the watch. Apple uses the depth map of the images to, in certain cases, overlay the theme over time. This creates a very impressive effect.

In addition, you can use the digital crown to “enlarge” the theme and make them increase in size as the time stamp behind it decreases in opacity.
Different styles for the face Portrait
This face of the watch supports two complications, although the highest complication can only be set to “off” or the date. The lower complication can be anything, though. Apart from the two complications, the face can be configured in modern, classic or rounded fonts.
World time
The face of World Time was shown at WWDC, but never reached the first beta. Now, with the RC rated, we have to try the new face for ourselves.
Face of world time
This face allows users to see the time zone anywhere in the world. The different time zones are represented by the locations of the outer dial, while the inner dial will show the time of each of them. If you touch the globe in the center of the clock face, it will rotate to focus on your current time zone.
In addition, the face has sun and moon icons to show sunrise and sunset where it is located, and night and day are represented by the dark, light areas of the face.
Digital style for the World Time face
Users can choose between digital time display or analog version. There are four complications with this face, one for each corner. Unfortunately, some complications have yet to be updated to support the curved corners style, although we expect them to be updated, as Apple continues to release clock faces that support them. Its color can also be customized.
Apple Watch Series 7
While all users will get the Portrait and World Time faces, the Apple Watch Series 7 will have three exclusive faces of its own. The exclusive faces are Nike Bounce, Modular Max and Contour.
Nike Bounce face on the bottom watch
The Nike Bounce, which is only available in the Nike version of the Apple Watch Series 7, is a colorful face that reacts every time you touch it, move your wrist, or move your digital crown.
Modular clock Max
Modular Max is a tight-fitting version of the face of the existing Modular watch, but instead of a row of three small compilations at the bottom, a second full-width complication can be added.
Contour clock face
Finally, Contour puts time around the clock and resizes it based on time. It works with the new screen to create a unique enveloping look for the new laptop.
All of these faces are designed to take advantage of almost 20% more real estate provided by the new Apple Watch Series 7 display.
Apple will release watchOS 8 on September 20th.
