If you are often late for appointments, despite trying your best to be in time, you should try setting the clock ahead. Psychologically, this could help you stay ahead of schedule and be on time. The Apple Watch keeps time perfectly, as it synchronizes to within 50 milliseconds of the global standard time, accordwearableing to internet servers. Therefore, you will never need to adjust the time on the watch.
However, if you are among those users who prefer to display a time ahead of the real time, it is possible to adjust the time using the Set Clock Face Display Time Ahead feature.

Note that you will not find the option to set the Apple Watch clock behind, unlike with traditional watches. This means that the user can only set the time forward on their Apple Watch. There are many ways users can customize their Apple Watch, such as changing and customizing the watch faces (you can quickly switch among a selection of watch faces, including analog faces and digital faces, between lively or impassive faces, as well as between simple or very complex), adding the Apple logo to the watch clock face, using many different versions of a watch face, personalizing the watch band, and more. However, setting the Apple Watch clock behind, is not one of these features.
Finally, don’t forget about the Apple Watch storage and usage functionalities. Users can see how much storage is free on the Apple Watch, and thus make sure the device does not run out of space. It is easy for a user to see a list of apps and the space each app occupies. The Apple Watch app on the iPhone enables users to see their storage and how much standby the Apple Watch has had since its last full charge. Users can also see how much time their Apple Watch would have if it was used in Power Reserve Mode.
