How to add complications to your Apple Watch
How do you spruce up your watch face with third-party complications? Easy!

Complications are a great way to see a variety of information at a glance—and your App Store apps can have complications of their very own, too. That means you can not only keep up on all your information right on the watch face, but you can launch directly into your favorite apps with just a tap!

How to add and remove complication options from the Customize screen

By default, third-party apps that support complications will automatically appear in your list of options. If the list starts to get too long, though, you can remove some of them.

  1. Launch the Watch app on your iPhone
  2. Tap Complications under the My Watch tab.
  3. Tap Edit in the upper right corner of the screen.

  5. Tap Remove.
  6. Tap Done when finished.
