So "pretty" is more important than the legibility of the information displayed?

Only if you can interpret "4" instantly as Thursday.

You probably come from a country where the number of the weekdays was used as name anyway.

My criteria is:
- black background
- legible font
- big numbers/letters
- distinguishable icons
- not cluttered


From the linked watch faces only this one meets my criteria

Simple.... People want something "Appleised" "Soft"

N°3 too Much thing displayed + Analogic clock, People will have to look a long time to read the info they want
N°4 Numbers are too big; Status Icon are not modern

My Need : A mix of this four

N°4 with rounded number, smaller font, better use of space like N°2 ,with modern status icon, With only Steps // Heartrate // weather for bonus Info would be for me a great choice for a daily face.
