Does anyone else feel World Time watch face is extremely confusing and unintuitive? (alien.top)

I spent hours trying to understand how the World Time watch face works! Watched YouTube videos! At one point I thought I understood it but then felt like I had to do some mental calculations every time I wanted to figure out the time in other time zones! Does anyone else feel like that? Could apple not have made a simple and intuitive world time watch face or I am missing something?

The World Time complication has been in use for over 80 years, and Apple did a fantastic job in creating a version that's easier to read versus the mechanical counterpart.

Don't blame Apple if you don't understand how it's read.

Any pointers / suggestions / youtube videos / articles explaining how to read it?

well if you think about it, how are you going to put all that information on a tiny screen while keeping it readable AND looking decent? I think they did an alright job
