I don’t have an Apple Watch, but I would expect you can do “Save to files” from that share button, too.

Export your watch faces from your old watch:

1. Open the Watch App on iPhone

2. Tap the Watch Face you want to copy from the “My Faces” section

3. Tap the Share button

4. If you have complications on this watch face, tap options and select which complications to include.

5. Tap “Save to Files”, then put it somewhere on your file system. I created a folder on my desktop called “Watch Faces”.

And to get a convenient "Wi-Fi Off" button (iOS, not Watch), you must now make a custom Shortcut on your Home Screen Thanks, Geniuses

I’m confused… to turn off Wi-Fi on WatchOS, you just swipe down and tap the Wi-Fi icon in Control Center.

Does turning off wifi using Aeroplane mode not work via the Control Center?

I do know that Wifi-off button only disconnects from the current network, but that's all I really want most of the time anyway.

iOS Airplane mode also disables Cell, Bluetooth, and Cell Data. I often wish to turn off WiFi without these other side-effects of Airplane mode.

My mistake, edited to clarify I meant iOS, not the Watch.

Though I did recently discover I can always make my watchOS Flashlight Red (instead of the default blinding White) by enabling Theater(?) Mode, which is nice.

Not only took me a long time to understand this but also almost always surprised on why Wi-Fi continues to be ON despite having turned off from control-centre in iOS! Terrible choice indeed!
