In accordance with embodiments, user interfaces for displaying and enabling an adjustment of a displayed time zone are described. In accordance with embodiments, user interfaces for initiating a measurement of time are described. In accordance with embodiments, user interfaces for enabling and displaying a user interface using a character are described. In accordance with embodiments, user interfaces for enabling and displaying a user interface that includes an indication of a current time are described. In accordance with embodiments, user interfaces for enabling configuration of a background for a user interface are described. In accordance with embodiments, user interfaces for enabling configuration of displayed applications on a user interface are described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer system, comprising:
a display generation component;
one or more input devices;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, via the display generation component, a watch user interface, wherein displaying the watch user interface includes concurrently displaying:
a first analog dial, wherein the first analog dial represents a period of 12 hours, and a first time indicator that indicates a current time in a first time zone on the first analog dial, wherein the first time indicator includes at least a first clock hand that indicates, on the first analog dial, the current time in the first time zone, and
a second analog dial, wherein the second analog dial represents a period of 24 hours, and a second time indicator that indicates a current time in a second time zone on the second analog dial, wherein the second analog dial is displayed at a first orientation relative to the first analog dial, wherein the second time indicator includes a second clock hand that indicates, on the second analog dial, the current time in the time zone associated with the second analog dial;

after displaying the watch user interface with the first analog dial and the second analog dial that is displayed at a first orientation relative to the first analog dial, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to change a time zone associated with the second analog dial;
in response to receiving the request to change the time zone associated with the second analog dial, changing the time zone associated with the second analog dial to a third time zone that is different from the first time zone; and
while the second analog dial is associated with the third time zone, displaying, via the display generation component, the watch user interface, wherein displaying the watch user interface includes concurrently displaying:
the first analog dial and the first time indicator indicating a current time in the first time zone on the first analog dial, and
the second analog dial and the second time indicator indicating a current time in the third time zone on the second analog dial, wherein the second analog dial is displayed at a second orientation relative to the first analog dial.

2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the second analog dial is associated with the third time zone, wherein the third time zone is different from the first time zone, displaying, in the second analog dial, a numerical indication of an hour of the current time in the third time zone without displaying, in the second analog dial, a numerical indication of any other hour.

3. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the watch user interface includes a text indication of a location associated with the second analog dial.

4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the second analog dial includes:
a first portion that corresponds to daytime in the time zone associated with the second analog dial, wherein the first portion includes a first visual characteristic, and
a second portion that corresponds to nighttime in the time zone associated with the second analog dial, wherein the second portion includes a second visual characteristic different from the first visual characteristic.

5. The computer system of claim 4 , wherein a first position in the second analog dial that corresponds to a beginning point for the first portion and an ending point for the second portion and a second position in the second analog dial that corresponds to an ending point for the first portion and a beginning point for the second portion are determined based on geographic location and time of year.

6. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein receiving the request to change the time zone associated with the second analog dial includes detecting, via the one or more input devices, user input directed to a location on the watch user interface.

7. A computer system, comprising:
a display generation component;
one or more input devices;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, via the display generation component, a watch user interface, wherein displaying the watch user interface includes concurrently displaying:
a first analog dial and a first time indicator that indicates a current time in a first time zone on the first analog dial, and
a second analog dial and a second time indicator that indicates a current time in a second time zone on the second analog dial, wherein the second analog dial is displayed at a first orientation relative to the first analog dial;

after displaying the watch user interface with the first analog dial and the second analog dial that is displayed at a first orientation relative to the first analog dial, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to change a time zone associated with the second analog dial, wherein receiving the request to change the time zone associated with the second analog dial includes detecting, via the one or more input devices, rotational input of a rotatable input mechanism;
in response to receiving the request to change the time zone associated with the second analog dial, changing the time zone associated with the second analog dial to a third time zone that is different from the first time zone; and
while the second analog dial is associated with the third time zone, displaying, via the display generation component, the watch user interface, wherein displaying the watch user interface includes concurrently displaying:
the first analog dial and the first time indicator indicating a current time in the first time zone on the first analog dial, and
the second analog dial and the second time indicator indicating a current time in the third time zone on the second analog dial, wherein the second analog dial is displayed at a second orientation relative to the first analog dial.

8. A computer system, comprising:
a display generation component;
one or more input devices;
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, via the display generation component, a watch user interface, wherein displaying the watch user interface includes concurrently displaying:
a first analog dial and a first time indicator that indicates a current time in a first time zone on the first analog dial, and
a second analog dial and a second time indicator that indicates a current time in a second time zone on the second analog dial, wherein the second analog dial is displayed at a first orientation relative to the first analog dial;

after displaying the watch user interface with the first analog dial and the second analog dial that is displayed at a first orientation relative to the first analog dial, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a request to change a time zone associated with the second analog dial;
in response to receiving the request to change the time zone associated with the second analog dial, changing the time zone associated with the second analog dial to a third time zone that is different from the first time zone, wherein changing the time zone associated with the second analog dial to a third time zone that is different from the first time zone includes rotating, about a first rotational axis, the second analog dial to a respective orientation relative to the first analog dial, wherein the first rotational axis is
