watch faces

Circular hour indicators

Watch faces are the visible front surfaces of timepieces—the dial showing hours, minutes, and sometimes additional information like date or moon phase.

On smartwatches and digital devices, watch faces are customizable displays that can be changed to show different styles, complications, or data: I downloaded a minimalist watch face for my Apple Watch.

The term covers both physical dials and their digital equivalents.
