More Fun With the Artist Watch face

More Fun With the Artist Watch face

This week I’m writing a really short post. I’m super busy getting ready to transition from full remote teaching to a hybrid model where I’m at school for a few days a week and home for 3 days a week. While I’m at school I will continue to work with my students in my own classroom. The students will remain remote, learning from home. Don’t ask…it’s complicated.

Recently, I wrote about the Artist watch face that I’m using on the Apple Watch and how it is helping cultivate a sense of calm…and believe me…going to this hybrid model is going to require lots of calm! In that initial post, I noticed that the background of the watch face did not really go well with the watchband I was wearing. I thought, what if I started pairing both the background and the person; the Artist, with the watchband I was wearing at the time? Here’s a picture of my first attempt.

Not bad. Then I thought, could there possibly be more combinations? I changed my watch band and gave it a try. Here’s my second attempt.

The background color is actually blue…this looks almost purple to me…ugh!!

I like the way the blue pairs with the band I’m wearing. Then I thought…what if I paired a black background with one of my black watch bands. Check this out…

I love the way this one looks!

This process has potential for hours of tinkering as there are an endless number of Artist watch faces. I’ve actually decided on a certain “Artist” that I like. I’ll talk more about that in a future blog post.
