Apple Watch Time Complication Font Size

Is there any way to change the font size of the UTC and Time Zone complications? One of the recent Watch OS changes caused the letters “UTC” to appear in large font while making the actual UTC time appear in a smaller, less readable font. I’m more interested in seeing the actual UTC time in a larger font than the letters UTC. Same thing happened for the time zone display. CUP for example shows in large font while the time for Cupertino is in small font and difficult to read.

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I think this is a WatchOS “feature” not a glitch with my watch. If you google “Apple Watch UTC complication” you will see plenty of watch face images where the letters UTC appear in much larger font than the actual UTC time - especially watch faces that place the UTC complication at 11 or 1 o’clock.
