HOW TO Personalise your Watch with complications
1 Find your face
Press and hold your current watch face until you see a screen like this one shown. Swipe to choose from installed faces or choose New; if a face supports complications, you’ll see them in the preview. Tap Edit to customise the face.
2 Pick your colours
The first editing screen you’ll see is the one that enables you to change the colour of the selected watch face. The multicolour option (where available) is very good for complications, many of which use colours to highlight content.
3 See your complications
Swipe from the right and you should now see the complications screen, which shows you the location of each complication in the selected watch face. As you can see here, this face has two large complications and one little one.
4 Pick your complication
To change a complication, simply tap on it. You’ll now be taken to a list of the available complications for that slot on the watch face, so for example here we’re looking at the complications for the large slots in our selected face.
5 Use third-party apps
Many third-party apps have complications too, such as the excellent Things productivity app shown here; this displays our Things to-do list so we can see at a glance what we’ve got planned for the working day.
6 Use the same app twice
If your selected watch face has the space, you can use multiple complications from the same app – here we’ve got two charts from the Weather app. This is also really useful for fitness apps, enabling you to see multiple data types at once.
7 Get more complicated
Faces such as the Infograph watch face have tons of room for complications: four in the corners and four in the centre. Once again you can use multicolour for readability or set everything to the same colour for something less bright.
8 See the shapes
With Infograph and other round faces, many complications are available as curved indicators for the corner of the screen – such as this noise level monitor, which tucks itself in a corner and lets you see how noisy your environment is.
9 Get a round
In addition to corner complications, you can choose round icons for the centre area. Many of these small complications still provide info, such as the weather icons here that show the current conditions and chance of rain.
