Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to methods and user interfaces for managing watch face user interfaces. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for managing watch faces based on depth data of a previously captured media item are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for managing clock faces based on geographic data are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for managing clock faces based on state information of a computer system are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces related to the management of time are described. In some embodiments, methods and user interfaces for editing user interfaces based on depth data of a previously captured media item are described.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer system, comprising:
one or more processors, wherein the computer system is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices including a rotatable input mechanism; 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 selection user interface;
while displaying the selection user interface, detecting a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism about an axis of rotation;
in response to detecting the rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, displaying a graphical indication of selection focus changing as selection focus is moved between a plurality of selectable objects;
after changing selection focus through the plurality of selectable objects and while concurrently displaying a representation of one or more other selectable objects from the plurality of selectable objects, detecting a press input on the rotatable input mechanism; and
in response to detecting the press input, selecting one of the plurality of selectable objects, including:
in accordance with a determination that a first selectable object of the plurality of selectable objects had selection focus when the press input was detected:
selecting the first selectable object that was concurrently displayed with a first representation of the one or more other selectable objects from the plurality of selectable objects when the press input was detected; and
ceasing displaying the first representation of the one or more other selectable objects from the plurality of selectable objects; and
in accordance with a determination that a second selectable object, different from the first selectable object, of the plurality of selectable objects had selection focus when the press input was detected:
selecting the second selectable object that was concurrently displayed with a second representation of the one or more other selectable objects from the plurality of selectable objects when the press input was detected; and
ceasing displaying the second representation of the one or more other selectable objects from the plurality of selectable objects.

2 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein selection focus is indicated by a location of selectable objects in the selection user interface.

3 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
displaying, via the display generation component, a visual indication corresponding to the selectable object that has selection focus.

4 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the selection user interface, detecting a swipe input; and in response to detecting the swipe input, changing selection focus from a third selectable object to a fourth selectable object.

5 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
detecting a tap input; and in response to detecting the tap input, selecting one of the plurality of selectable objects, including:
in accordance with a determination that the tap input was on a respective portion of a third selectable object, performing a first operation that includes selecting the third selectable object.

6 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
displaying a first watch face; while displaying the first watch face, detecting a first user input corresponding to a user request to select a watch face, and in response to detecting the first user input:
displaying the selection user interface, wherein the selection user interface is a watch face selection user interface; and
visually distinguishing the first watch face to indicate the watch face selection user interface;
while displaying the watch face selection user interface:
detecting a second user input, and in response to detecting the second user input, visually distinguish a second watch face different from the first watch face; and
while displaying the second watch face, detecting a second press input on the rotatable input mechanism; and
in response to detecting the second press input, selecting the second watch face as a currently selected watch face for the computer system.

7 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
displaying a third watch face; while displaying the third watch face, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a first sequence of one or more user inputs that corresponds to a request to edit the third watch face; in response to receiving the first sequence of one or more user inputs:
entering a watch face edit mode of the computer system; and
visually distinguishing an element of the third watch face for editing, wherein the visually distinguished element is a first selectable option for the visually distinguished element of the third watch face;
while the computer system is in the watch face edit mode:
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a second sequence of one or more user inputs, and in response to receiving the second sequence of one or more user inputs, displaying a second selectable option for the visually distinguished element of the third watch face; and
while displaying the second selectable option for the visually distinguished element of the third watch face, detecting a third press input on the rotatable input mechanism; and
in response to detecting the third press input, selecting the second selectable option for the visually distinguished element of the third watch face.

8 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
displaying a fourth watch face; while displaying the fourth watch face, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a third sequence of one or more user inputs that corresponds to a request to edit the fourth watch face; in response to receiving the third sequence of one or more user inputs:
entering a watch face edit mode of the computer system; and
visually distinguish a complication of the fourth watch face for editing;
while the computer system is in the watch face edit mode:
displaying a first complication option for the complication;
receiving, via the one or more input devices, a fourth sequence of one or more user inputs, and in response to receiving the fourth sequence of one or more user inputs, displaying a second complication option; and
while displaying the second complication option, detecting a fourth press input on the rotatable input mechanism; and
in response to detecting the fourth press input, selecting the second complication option.

9 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
displaying a fifth watch face; while displaying the fifth watch face, receiving, via the one or more input devices, a fifth sequence of one or more user inputs that corresponds to a request to send the fifth watch face to a recipient; in response to receiving the fifth sequence of one or more user inputs, displaying a recipient selection user interface; while the recipient selection user interface is displayed:
displaying a name of a recipient, wherein the name of the recipient has selection focus; and
detecting a sixth press input on the rotatable input mechanism; and
in response to detecting the sixth press input, transmitting information associated with the fifth watch face to the recipient.

10 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs
