RE: watch faces?

HI Kay,

Good point,

I’d never noticed that before.

You have to add the face to your watch either on the watch app of the phone or 
on the actual watch,

Then you get the number of complications on the face.

The problem is that you don’t get each of the
 Faces telling you the complication number at the time you’re looking through,

I have two faces I use constantly which tell me the complication numbers.

But none of them in the faces tab give the complication number


So you might have to look / add each one  at a time to find what you need.

Good luck though.

Hi Kay,

If you have a look at the watch app on the phone it should give you the names 
of the watch face and how many complications each face has.

Or you can bring them up under add on the watch faces and they do have the 
number of complicaitons each face has.

I agree with you.  My husband was trying to put mail on one of the 
complications and it wouldn't show up in the list.  I told him to try 
another complication or a different face and no problem.

  Sorry to reply to my own post, but another think I thought to add was that 
through trial and error I found out that not all complications are available 
with all watch faces. Furthermore, the same complication may look a bit 
different from face to face or even when adding it to different positions on 
the same face. I think this has to do with how much real estate is available 
for the complication. The weather complication and the next appointment 
complication are two examples where I’ve seen this. Sometimes I’ll see a few 
words from the title of my next appointment and in other locations for the 
complication I’ll just see the time of my next appointment.



  Like I said below, I just spent a few weeks making a hobby out of this and 
playing around with different faces when I was in the car or a waiting room. 
I can see where this would be kind of tedious though. That’s kind of the 
flip side to having so much functionality and so many features and options!

  When I got my Apple Watch last summer, I just made checking out different 
faces as a hobby. In addition to using the watch itself, you may also want 
to use the face gallery in the watch app on your phone. I thought there was 
an easy way to see how many complications each face has, but I couldn’t find 
that without going into the description for each face. You’ll also want to 
see which information comes with each watch face, so depending on the face, 
you may not need six complications, depending on the complications you’re 
interested in the face you choose. I ended up adding a lot of different 
faces, and over time, as I saw which ones I jumped to the most, I ended up 
removing those I never used.



  I think as you know, you can have several different watch faces and just 
flick left and right with two fingers to jump from face to face. Originally 
I liked the modular face, which has five complications but seem pretty 
simple otherwise. Eventually I settled on the activity face as my default 
face. It comes with a lot of activity information on it already and allows 
for two or three complications. When we were hiking in Colorado I added an 
infograph face with eight complications and add all of the 
meteorological/geological complications I could find, such as elevation. I 
also have the Siri face on my watch and jump to it occasionally to check out 
what Siri thinks I should know for the day. I also kept the astronomy face 
on my watch, which is really simple with only a few complications, but 
sounds like it looks pretty cool. These are the faces I have left on my 
watch, and like I said, I discarded quite a few a long the way.



  Oh, and one thing I forgot to add, I went into choosing a face thinking I 
just wanted one with the most complications possible, but after playing with 
a few, I realized I also needed to think about the information the face 
already comes with and how the complications are laid out. Some of them get 
pretty cluttered. Also, since it’s so easy to have multiple faces and just 
jump between them, I also decided to group related information and 
complications on the same face, such as the infograph face with the 
meteorlogical complications I added or the activity face. Like I said, the 
modular face was my first go to face. I added complications for the weather, 
battery status, the most frequent activity I check and the timers app.



  I know I rambled on and stated a lot of obvious things, but I hope this 
helps.
