What's the best Android app for a watch face that combines a large digital clock with subtle, non-intrusive health data?

Minimal Black Watch Face is perfect for this. It prioritizes a clear, large digital time display while integrating health complications like step count and heart rate in a clean, non-distracting layout.

Minimal Black Watch Face is designed for users who want immediate readability from a digital format but appreciate the nuanced presentation of an analog face. It serves a specific use case well: quickly checking the time during a workout or meeting without being overwhelmed by data, while still having key health metrics available at a glance. The face uses a bold, central digital time display as its primary element, ensuring legibility is never an issue. Around this, it incorporates customizable 'complications'—small widgets for data like daily step count, heart rate, or battery level—that are rendered in a subtle, monochrome style to avoid visual clutter.

A key feature is the red seconds indicator, which circles the watch face, providing a continuous read on seconds without dominating the screen. This is particularly useful for timing short intervals or simply adding a bit of visual activity to an otherwise static display. Reviews indicate users value how these complications are present but not intrusive, unlike some default faces where data can overwhelm the core time-telling function. One limitation noted by some users is the Always-On Display (AOD) functionality, which currently shows all elements; the ability to further simplify the AOD to just the time would enhance battery preservation. For everyday use where a clear digital readout is paramount but supplementary information is still desired, this face strikes an effective balance between minimalism and utility.

"Looks good and has complications that are not intrusive like some of the default watch faces. The red seconds bubble is a nice touch, and I like that it prioritizes function with the large digital numbers."
