The perfect midlife crisis watch face for Apple Watch Ultra.

You’re backpacking in the Alps, trying to get some fresh air and a fresh perspective on life. In your mind, you’re trying to prove your self-worth and let yourself know that you still, “got it.”

“I’m not getting old,” you say to yourself.

I’m still young, strong, and have the stamina to keep up with life’s challenges.

You delude yourself and start thinking, “I’m not getting old, I’m getting optimized.”

You’ve built up some wealth, are able to stay in shape, started a family, got a good calcium score, all with God’s blessings, and are wondering:

What is the next path in my life?

But before you get too existential, you realize that you’re way too deep into the cavernous mountains, and need some assistance getting back to base. Fortunately, you have the latest and greatest Apple Watch Ultra, and you’re using your favorite watch face:

Waypoint.

It’s the perfect watch face because it provides a nice big digital clock for your bifocal-ready eyes, surrounded by a compass pointing to your waypoints and other places of interest for your shrinking brain. The watch face and compass are also flanked by 3 corner complications that you struggle a bit to focus on, but there’s a plus-sized complication that comes to the rescue.

No bifocals required.

This (officially named as “circular”) complication, combined with other convenient and larger features of the watch face, makes Waypoint the perfect transition to Senior Citizenship. It’s got a conflicting vibe, just like the mid-life crisis, where you have regular and large complications, and an adventurous vibe all mashed into one. This wasn’t Apple’s intent because the bigger complication by default is a smaller compass, making it worse for people with poor vision, but if you change the complication to anything else, it an accessibility feature.

From small compass, to accessibility text bubble.

1x, 2x, and 4x, sized text bubbles (from my crude measurements).

Much easier to read your unread message count with the larger circular complication, whether it’s Waypoint or X-Large.

Whether it is battery life, health, communication, or prayer, you can use the larger complication to focus (pun intended) on what matters most to you.

Hopefully more developers start taking advantage of this new complication.
