I have automations set up to change my watch face to an analogue face at sunset (looks better and is less distracting at home/out at dinner) and then back again an hour before sunrise as well as different faces attached to different focuses.

I’m just wondering how other people choose to automate their watch face changes?

    Go into the shortcuts app on the phone, create an automation, in the actions section search for watch, and one of the options is change face.

    You can also do things with like cinema mode, set waterlock, or turn always on display on/off

    Since it’s automation, you can trigger by time, place, a certain app is launched on phone, a certain wifi is joined, a focus mode is set and a few others.

    Actually just looked, don’t see the watch item when making an automation, but it is in shortcuts, so you’ll need to make a shortcut that controls the watch, and then call that shortcut with an automation. It used to be available in automations, I have some made that way that still work, so it might be a bug and come back at some point.

      Thank you, managed to do it. I haven’t ever opened the shortcut app so this will keep me entertained for a while.
