Always wondering, how people can understand what exact time with such watch faces. Minimal is good, however found that modular watch face is way better for this.
Holy hell, I came here to say something along these lines and you got downvoted this much?
I’m with you - the only times I need HH:MM:SS on my watch face is when I’m angling for a concert ticket or signing up for some class somewhere that has limited seating. I admit that I prefer digital most of the time, but I don’t diss analog just because I can’t get the most precise time.
This is what drives me nuts about minimalist watch faces. Too much approximation when there isn’t even at least some dots to indicate the hours. I’m sure you get used to it, but still, give me something with the numbers on it!
I could tell from this comment you were British (I am too for what it’s worth). I think we are just better practiced with this stuff than the Americans. Can’t speak for mainland Europeans cause I don’t know.
Fully agree. Such faces are beautiful but if you need to really know the time then they suck. If you just need a ballpark then perfect. I’m a teacher and my lessons are carefully planned down to the minute. I would never be able to use a face such as this. It would be a prime example of something being beautiful but useless. A very expensive bracelet.

Yes I would also prefer some lines or dots to separate hours and 5 min intervals
Yes, we should have that option on many faces. I mostly have to use a complication every time someone ask me the time…
In fact, you mostly don’t need to know the time down to the minute. If necessary, I will use a digital watch face.
lol wtf
Most people like to know the exact time, you know. That’s why they wear a watch.

I prefer modular also, and is my standard watch face. It gives me digital time so I don’t waste time getting the info I need at a glance.
Having a bunch of complications (including current temperature) is a great feature to have as well.

I rarely need to know the exact time. When I do I swipe from minimalist to a digital face and then back.
Yeah right. In normal life, normal day, I just need to know it’s about 1:40 or about 1:45.
Not in OS10 you don’t.
Experience I suppose, can tell from a glance that is 20 to 2

My nan would always say things like ‘five and twenty to’, now THAT would definitely confuse people!
Europeans not being pointlessly snobby about Americans Challenge(IMPOSSIBLE)
