What are the new One UI 6 Watch watch faces?
The new default for the standard Galaxy Watch model is called spatial numbers. Basically, it appears as a unique clock that uses rounded shapes and strong colors that change depending on the time and form in a floating position. This supports up to two complications that you can also customize along with a shortcut for app or control.
Next is simple digital, and as the name implies it is a watch face with an easy-to-read digital hourly clock with the minutes laid out as small slotted shapes in a circle shape. The seconds are indicated through a circle running around these minute slots.
The third new watch face is the ultra info board, which emphasizes health data. There are up to 7 complications here that you can customize using the deeper health metrics in the Samsung Health app. However, it also supports showing the weather and notifications in addition to health stats.
