Wear OS complications: information your way
A complication is an information field on a watch face. Knowing what can change helps you choose the right design for your day.
Editable fields and fixed artwork are different
An editable field can display options supplied by the system or installed applications. A fixed indicator follows behavior defined by the watch face. Each model page states how many editable fields it offers.
An icon drawn into the artwork does not, by itself, mean that spot is a configurable complication. Check the design’s features before choosing.
Choose the information
Press and hold your current watch face and open customization. Find complications or fields, select an editable area, choose an available option, and save.
Menu names and choices depend on device, system version, and installed apps. Some data requires permissions or a compatible provider.
A bar cannot automatically measure everything
A progress bar or arc needs data with a compatible scale, such as a current value and target. Switching to text does not guarantee that the bar can represent that new information.
Steps, battery, calendar, and weather have different formats and providers. The field’s accepted types and the provider’s output determine what is displayed; there is no universal conversion for every goal.
When information is missing
Check that the field is editable, the provider is installed, and required permissions are granted. If available, open the provider application to check its status.
Website previews use illustrative values. For support, include the watch face, device, selected field, and provider, without sharing personal information.
