Apple Watch Series 10's Always-On Seconds Feature: A Step Forward or a Missed Opportunity?

Apple Watch Faces and the Always-On Seconds Feature

The Apple Watch Series 10 introduces a larger display, thinner design, and a unique feature where it can show continuously updating seconds in always-on mode. However, this feature is currently supported by only four watch faces: Flux, Reflections, Activity Digital, and Unity Rhythm (introduced with watchOS 11.3). Users are frustrated with the limited number of compatible watch faces, as they desire more customization options. Additionally, Apple has been removing some less popular watch faces, which adds to the disappointment.

The article highlights the strange strategy of supporting a new hardware feature on so few faces and suggests that all watch faces should be updated to support always-on seconds in future software updates.
