Can you lock the watch face so it can't be changed?

[samsungnumber1]

Is it possible to lock the watch face so you can't change it? Often if I'm crossing my arms the change watch face pops up as it's a long press to get it to come up. I've looked through the settings but can't find anything

Should've probably added I'm on a Watch 3

Thats a good question! What I have done to resolve this is ..
1. Gone into wearable app
2. Selected "Watch Faces" (right at the bottom)
3. Top right and selected the three dots and tapped on "Manage Watch faces"
4. Removed selected Watch faces or in your case just leave the Watch face you want only. You can always add whatever face back if ever.

What I am having problems is when I have my wrist upside down on my lap the watch face  likes to try to change.  How do I stop this from happening??

Hey @Falcon03

When watch (always on) setting is turned on. Some watch faces will stay the same while your arm is resting in place. While other watch faces will change. It all depends on the watch face you use. I recommend trying out a few and see if they all do the same thing while using your watch like you would normally.

Please let me know how it goes. 

Kind Regards,

Hey Claudette,

I think i have the same issue as this user. Its not to do with always on the issue is when i tap to hold on my watch it tries to change the face. And its annoying as hell. If i for example cross my arms that counts as a touch to hold and tries to change the watch face. 

How do you disable it so the watch face can only be changed through the wear app or a similar more separated method.

Hey @evodidunn 

Could you please try setting a lock screen on your watch.

You can do that by going to Settings > security > lock > type and select the lock method.

You can choose between Pattern or PIN. 

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

That only sets up a Lock Screen, that does not prevent the watch face from changing if it is on your wrist, and unlocked as the OP is describing.

same issue, any solutions yet?

Samsung needs to put in a way to do this.  When I fold my arms over top of each other it always wants to change watch faces.  There should be an option to lock the long tap option on the watch.
