This is very frustrating to see an extra Zero when it is 1:30 p.m. Ive read the forums, but the solutions suggested don't match what my watch and phone show. I cannot get to the "Date and Time" setting on my watch doe to it being "Synced with phone" and the wearable app doesnt offer a date and tine setting for me to change.
 Help?!?

Samsung digital watch faces are designed to be compatible with 24hr time. There is no way to modify the faces to eliminate the 0. The additional digit allows watch faces to maintain visual consistency and alignment with other complications on the display.

If you require a 12hr watch face that eliminates the extra digit, you can most likely find one that suits your needs by Opening the Wearable app, navigating to Watch Faces, scrolling to the bottom of the page, and searching Google Play for third party faces.

If consistency between the appearance of digital clocks on the watch and phone are a concern, you can select a Lock screen clock such as the dynamic option which includes the additional digit. See attached screenshots.

Hope this helps!1763907489018.jpg1763907892899.jpg39TZdnGE2M.png

Imagine being so frustrated over a standard time format that has been this way since digital clocks were invented.  On some older quartz digital watches & electric clocks, the leading zero may not have been "visible", but it was there - you could see the outline.

I admit, I understand the desire for consistency between the LS clock and the watch face. I'm a stickler for visual consistency and there have been quite a few times I wished I could match the two perfectly, and it just isn't possible.

But it's also not a deal breaker as far as the functionality of the watch.

I don't generally use a digital watch face - my phone screen clock is digital, though.  However, when I use a digital clock, I actually prefer the visual symmetry of the leading zero.  My brain just ignores it anyway.

I tend to switch back and forth between ultra info board, analog dashboard, and daily dashboard depending on my mood. I've grown accustomed to the additional digit, though I do think there should be an option to remove in 12hr format.

An option to hide it would be a nice feature for those that want not to see it.  My brain would explode looking at the empty space where the zero should be when everything else is centered, as I think a "hide" option would merely be to turn off those pixels, but keep the clock in the same physical location, not move it over to be centered, especially on those faces where the hours are on one line and the minutes are below it.

If the zero being there bothers you a lot, you can always switch to an analog watch face.
