With watchOS 27, the Apple Watch Modular face gains 13 new colour options. According to 9to5Mac, the face can also use the latest complications for daily steps, heart rate and Readiness, available on Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Apple Watch Series 12.
The changes apply to the standard Modular face, which continues to evolve alongside the other variants in the family: Modular Compact, Modular Ultra and Siri Modular.
Modular’s 13 new colours
The new shades listed by 9to5Mac are Olive, Burgundy, Sand, Magenta, Pale Succulent, Wildflower Blue, Navy Blue, Light Umber, Chambray Blue, Limestone, Camel, Sage and Mulberry.
To select them, open the Color screen when customising the Modular face. Previous options remain available: scrolling to the bottom of the list reveals the “Tap to add more colors” button, which lets you browse and add other shades.
The expanded palette therefore offers more choice without removing colours used in previous configurations.
Complications available on the new Apple Watch models
Modular can also display the latest Daily Steps, Heart Rate and Readiness complications, available in several sizes. The first two show daily step counts and heart rate, respectively.
According to 9to5Mac, these specific complications are exclusive to Apple Watch Ultra 4 and Series 12. That restriction applies to the complications mentioned and should not automatically be extended to the face’s new colour options.
The different formats let users choose how to display the data directly on Modular.
