The one with all of the complications? Yes, just S4.

The other ones (breathe, vapor, water, etc.)? No, they will also be on the S2 and S3 (not S1), but without the new S4 style complications.

My guess is that we will need the larger screen real estate of the Watch S4 and the new processor to handle the increase in complications on screen.

I do think that Apple often segregated features into newer devices only just as a matter of segmentation. There was no reason that a version of the Explorer watch face last year couldn’t the on the GPS version. I’m thinking that the new bokeh feature on the Xs series phones would work on the X if they tried.

If you want the new face, buy the new watch. Apple is entitled to do this if they want.

(But, yeah, it could also be because of the number of complications.)

I am thinking that that Watch S4 watch face would look ridiculously cramped on my Series 2 Watch, anyway.

I'd like to know why, in 2018, no programmer has come up with a chronograph/ analogue watch face where either the Day/Date moves or the hands are see through, rather than blocking it like my grandfathers watch from the dark ages?

Does anyone know how to get your contact photos on to the Infograph face? Can’t find any instructions anywhere. Thx.

Update: My bad. Just realized they’re your “favourite” contacts.
