That kaleidoscope watch face is great if you want to make it really hard (at times) to see the hands of the clock.  Look at that watch face above.  How long does it take you to figure out that it's approximately 3:48?

Be nice to have a Music watch face that enabled the crown to adjust volume. Especially useful with AirPods.

I like both of those ideas.  Frequently it takes me too long to adjust the volume on the Watch.  First I have to wake the screen, either by raising or tapping, to see the watch face, then hit the side button, wait for the music interface to come to the front, hit the volume control button and then tap the + or the -. Having a music watch face with crown volume control could certainly cut back on that friction just to do something relatively simple.

I was saying exactly this same thing yesterday in the thread about AirPods.  Compare how easy it is to change the volume on a new MacBook Pro with touch bar compared to changing the volume of AirPods using an Apple Watch.  Give me an intuitive no-look gesture and I'll be happy.

actually, you don't have to force touch the screen to change watch faces. just swipe from the edge of the screen any side to switch to another watch face. works even now with watchos3.
