Add complications to the watch face on your Apple Watch
On Apple Watch, you can add special features—called complications—to some watch faces, so you can instantly check things like stock prices, the weather report, or information from other apps you installed.
Add complications to the watch face
With the watch face showing, touch and hold the display, then tap Edit.
Swipe left all the way to the end.
If a face offers complications, they’re shown on the last screen.
Tap a complication to select it, then turn the Digital Crown to choose a new one—Activity or Heart Rate, for example.
When you’re finished, press the Digital Crown to save your changes, then tap the face to switch to it.
Some apps you get from the App Store also include complications.
Complication options on Apple Watch
You can open most apps by tapping a complication on the watch face. Some complications show specific information from a particular app so you see just what you need with a glance. Weather, for example, includes complications for air quality, conditions, temperature, and more.
The following apps offer multiple complications.
