The Apple Watch: a fantastically handy gadget that you can fill in entirely to your own taste. With the help of dials you ensure the ideal layout for every situation. But what are the best of this year? OMT editor Mark Hofman lists it for you.

In addition to the many useful functionalities of the Apple Watch, I have personally also become a big fan of watch faces. I have a different setup and a different look for every situation. Something that, strangely enough, I can’t get enough of.

Five Awesome Apple Watch Watch Faces in 2022

For that reason, I thought it would be fun to list the best Apple Watch watch faces of 2022. Of course this is a matter of taste and these are mainly layouts that fit well with my daily life. So it may be that you are less enthusiastic about it, but I hope that this way mainly introduces you to a number of interesting options.

#1 My personal favorite: Batman and Robin

The watch face for an Apple Watch doesn’t always have to be functional and standard. I was previously of the opinion that this was the case, until I found this Batman & Robin encountered. It’s an iconic meme of the two superheroes, one of which punches the other in the face. In the speech bubble of Batman is the text What Time Is It?! and Robin’s speech bubble shows the date and time.

To be fair, this watch face is slightly better aligned when using the American time format. But all in all it puts a big smile on the face.

#2 Apple Watch Watch Faces: California

The Californiawatch face appeared in watchOS 6 and has been a big hit ever since. It knows how to combine a minimalist style with the Apple Watch functionalities. I understand if you have to get used to the style, but believe me when I say that this happens quickly.

There are numerous colors, including gradients, that you can use for the dial. You have the choice to combine Roman numerals with Arabic numerals, you can determine the shape and add functionalities yourself. So you decide for yourself what you want to see above and below the time. With the round variant, there is room for no less than five different complications to add. I’m a fan.

#3 Contourbut in one way

After the introduction of the Apple Watch Series 7, we were introduced to Contour. This watch face takes full advantage of the smartwatch’s larger screen. The numbers run over the outer edge and increase in size as the pointer points to them. It is possible to set a colored background with white numbers, but that is not the way as far as I am concerned.

The dial can be called a stylish recommendation in one way and that is with the wiron sheet color turned off. Black background with, in my case, green numbers. Count the two there cimplications and your smartwatch is very stylish.

#4 Apple Watch Watch Faces: Unity light

Unity light: a minimalistic dial that combines modern with classic. Intended for the user who does not feel like too much fuss on his smartwatch. The dial is generally dark, except where you should see the time. That part is illuminated by red and green light by default.

There aren’t a lot of options, but you can tweak the dial a bit. For example, choose a rectangular or a circle, stripes or no stripes and colors or a black and white arrangement.

#5 Simplicity for the win!

There are countless handy ways to give the watch a digital upgrade in 2022. Different designs, handy functionalities: you name it all. But sometimes, just sometimes, you just want that classic look. Definitely with it always ondisplay of your Apple Watch.

In that regard Simplicity that ideal watch face for you. There are tons of options to choose from like another style or color. In addition, there are also five different complications to link to the dial. Ideal for the classic enthusiast, therefore!
