I'm an Apple Watch die-hard — here are my picks for the 10 best Apple Watch faces of 2026 so far

1. Infograph - This Apple Watch face offers plenty of on-screen information with support for up to eight complications. While it can become cluttered, a cleaner setup with four fitness-focused complications in the center allows for easy reading at a glance.

2. Flow - Flow showcases watchOS 26's Liquid Glass design with oversized translucent numerals against a colorful animated background. The large numbers are easy to read, and the refraction effect adds depth when the wrist moves. However, there are no complications, making it a design-first face that may be too bold for those preferring a traditional watch look.

3. California - This face offers a more traditional watch dial with Roman and Arabic numerals, giving the Apple Watch a classic appearance. It also includes options for different numeral styles, circular or full-screen layouts, and a handful of complications. Though dark colors and restrained complications suit it well, bright or overly detailed complications may clash with the clean dial.

4. Numerals Duo - Filling almost the entire screen with oversized hours and minutes, Numerals Duo is one of Apple's easiest faces to read at a glance. You can change colors, numeral systems, and choose between Filled, Hybrid, or Outline styles. The huge numbers give it personality without making the time difficult to find, though there are no complications for quick access to additional data.

5. Snoopy - Bringing the Apple Watch to life with short animations featuring Snoopy, Woodstock, and the clock hands, Snoopy is charming and varied. The animations change throughout the day, and different color options give the face a slightly different feel. While the animations are captivating, there are no complications, and some scenes may briefly make the time hard to read, making it best suited as a weekend-only option.
