Website suggestion for filtering watch faces

I do not see this functionality on the web site, so I thought I'd suggest it. Concerning the display of watch faces, it would be exceptionally helpful if there was a way to filter for watch faces based on the functions they displayed. Example, a series of check boxes saying to display only watch faces that had a list of features checked, such as watch faces that displayed the month, day, seconds, number of steps for the day, and percent power remaining. One could also have a flag that said either ok to include other features not explicitly specified or to only display watch faces with the features selected and none other. The point of the feature specification is to reduce the number of watch faces displayed to only the ones desired by feature instead of making your customers wade through 10's of thousands of watch faces they would never be interested in.

Example, I am not interested in any watch face that does not display the seconds. Trying to view a watch face and determine that the seconds are displayed or not can be a daunting task, especially when the watch faces displayed are rapidly flickering the features on and off non-stop with no way to slow them down (a very poor design decision in my opinion-there should be a way to MANUALLY step through the features of the watch face if desired).

Thank you for the detailed feedback. Currently, we offer a search functionality using tags, but it's crucial to understand that not all designers thoroughly label their watch faces with these tags. Regarding the flickering on the watch face previews: this issue arises not from our website but from the tool used to create the watch faces. Unfortunately, we cannot change that. However, we're always striving to enhance user experience, and we appreciate your suggestions.
