7 Great Third-Party Apple Watch Complications

Check everything from the calendar to your heart rate
That iThingy You're Wearing
May 6, 2016

Apple Watch complications are a great way to view constantly updating information on a number of different faces. Starting with WatchOS 2.0, which landed last fall, third-party developers have been able to create their own specialized complications for watch wearers. Along with showing up-to-date information, selecting the complication will automatically bring up the associated app, which is also a big plus. Here are seven to start with.

Even better than Apple’s stock Calendar app, Fantastical is a must-have for anyone looking to keep track of their day-to-day schedule. Along with a great watch app, there are two different complications to select from. First, the largest version will show your next appointment time and details. A smaller version will just show you the next scheduled appointment time. Tapping it will start up the app and show all of the important information.

A new take on Apple’s own fitness app, the Activity++ the complication is designed to make it very clear when you’ve hit your goal for the day. Instead of a ring structure, Activity++ displays the three different metrics in parallel lines with Activity on the top, Exercise in the middle, and Stand on the bottom. When you make a goal, the monochrome color on the complication will slightly change to make it very apparent that you’ve hit the mark for the day.

Along with the complication, you can also take a look at all the data using the app itself or a Glance. You can view both the progress toward a goal and a detailed view of activity for the day.
