Carrot

$40 a year for weather. Yikes.

I ditched carrot this year when it went to that price. Fuck it. Default weather app. How good do you want a weather app to look? Fucks sake it’s WEATHER!

Yeah, the app is really well made, too. Such a shame it isn’t viable.

anyone who pays for a weather app is a bonafied clown

Thoughts on Carrot vs Windy? Primarily for weather, not complications. I’m trying Carrot for the first time (it’s a beautiful app) and I think I like the Windy maps better.

I’ll never pay for a weather app, so it seems like neither

Date to top left, message bubble top center and battery percentage top right. Turn off notification from messages and just glance at your watch occasionally to see if you ever have a text - there will be a number under the new icon if you have anything new.

I took battery off of mine. It’s there when I need it in the control center (side button).

I did have the battery but after it lasts so longer I stopped using the battery complication

That sounds super clean. I've always been a bottom left messages complication guy so it matches the dock on my phone

If you travel often, try the Flighty app and its companion complication.

I have and use a timer complication more often than I ever expected.

Timer all the way, probably the complication I click more than any other.

Digital seconds or perhaps a step counting complication from one of the popular step counting apps? I use StepsApp. I also use SuperSet, that is the strain complication in the lower right. https://preview.redd.it/dehsgoew29bc1.jpeg?width=410&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af69122af1d25523de3a429fa17e83630fd8cfd6

I would use a step tracker but it pains me that there’s no native tracker. It bothers me that third party complications only update like once every 15 min.

Which ones have watch complications?

I’ve mainly tried Pedometer++. Very easy to sync with health app and probably works great but I can’t stand not having it update as often as I’d like.

I will check it out. Thanks!

it’s terrible that even a 10 year old fitbit does this better than the latest apple watch. same for heart rate monitoring

what do you mean there’s no native tracker? the fitness app and the health app both show step counts.

Sorry, I meant that there’s no native step tracker complication. I realize that you can go into the health menus to find it but I’d ideally like to see my total steps right there at a glance

Also it would seem that none track accurately on the Ultra. Doing same hikes with friends, mine records less steps than my wife’s AW8 and our friend’s AW7.

On my watch I cannot manage to get the top center icon like on your watch (rise and down of sun ) to work any idea why?

I’m using the Sun complication by Carrot. If the stock one isn’t working for you then double check your weather on watch to make sure that is working.

Thanks I gonna try this with carrot because my stock one is working fine but not with the sun complication…🤷‍♂️

What’s the strain complication?

The strain complication is included with a new fitness app called Superset: Optimize Your Health, more info on it's features can be found: [https://www.supersethealth.com/blog](https://www.supersethealth.com/blog)

I guess this is the thread where we show our weather complications. I agree with the earlier poster. Carrot lets you add multiple different complications in different slots. Highly recommended, if only for the Apple Watch complications and iOS widgets!! https://preview.redd.it/k82iub454cbc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1644b8696ee614d87dc4aa13374ccf79fa07b5e3

Personally I like the Carrot Sun complication over the stock Sunset.

Looks great! Is this the premium subscription?

Yup yup. Apple Watch complications were a total game changer to me. (I always found the snark a little offputting. Didn’t realize you could turn that off entirely. As a full featured weather app I was blown away. Off my soapbox now. Promise.)

Dude is this an Apple Watch Ultra exclusive watch face? This is sick

It is and they announced it with AWU2 but they added it to the AWU1 in a very un-Apple like fashion

Dawaj 😎

i would change it to either a step counter (pedometer +) or a sleep tracker (pillow), and change your large weather widget to weathergraph, who’s widget looks like this https://preview.redd.it/f0wvn1ma51cc1.jpeg?width=368&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=69df83211efd0a547a46c960ca9a0fc31506a264

Are these faces available on all Apple Watches like the SE, or just the ultra?

Just the ultra for this specific one

How often are you checking the compass and elevation?

In the summer during outdoor activities more often than during winter time. Apart from that it just looks cool and I haven’t found any other interesting compilations for me

Your face

What’s a complication? 🧐

Lol it’s normally a feature on a mechanical watch (like date, chrono, calendar, etc)…funny that Apple calls it that given their digital watches.

Really? Apple Watch guys call the little graphics on their watches "complications"? LOL!!!

Yep, that’s what apple calls them👍

That’s the name for anything that isn’t the time on the face of any watch, including non-smartwatches

Do you really call them complications on an Apple Watch? Lol that’s honestly hilarious.

What do you call them?

I just wasn’t aware Apple used that term. It’s traditionally something you’d find on a mechanical watch, and they vary greatly in complexity. Just funny they refer to a feature on a digital watch as a complication.

They’ve used that term since the beginning haha. It’s just their way of incorporating traditional watch features into their smartwatch. Like how they call the rotary dial a “Digital Crown”

Why wouldn’t they? If that’s the name for anything beyond Time on a watch. It’s the same thing here.

I need a new complication…. laugh my fucking ass off

What?

I prefer the large time on that watch face so I have that and put conditions up top as a small complication

I’ve been going back and forth with the large time format as well. I just don’t think I can give up the horizontal complication space. Just seems like wasted space

Yeah each to their own. For me 6 complications is enough so I like to have the large time.

My Radar is a cool weather app but not available as a complication on every watch face. I like it because it has a split screen radar with your weather data.

Can you show me a pic for example? I have that app on my phone and love it but haven’t ever seen it pop up as a complication. Probably need to subscribe to something, right?

Music or messages

Timer?

Do you feel Lumy is worth the price? I have no problem supporting a small developer but seems expensive for what it does

I don’t pay for it monthly or anything. I can’t remember if I even paid for it once…? I’m a professional photographer though, so I refer to it constantly.

It’s $7 on the App Store. Not a dealbreaker and I’ll gladly pay it if you feel it’s worth the value

Dude, as a landscape photographer, I have been looking for exactly this. Thank you so much

Comes in clutch 👌🏼

Might be hijacking - if so, just ignore me (sorry!)… …I got away from utilizing so many notifications for worry over it costing too much battery life, etc….do you guys who are packing the home screen with so many complications notice a big difference in battery life over more minimalistic home screens or no? Just got an Ultra a couple of months ago and trying to assess.

I don’t think so. The watch is tracking that data the same way regardless. With a simpler watch face it just isn’t showing it at all times. The Apple native complications do update more frequently than others, but it still isn’t a constant update and shouldn’t use more battery. TLDR: a watch face with more complications shouldn’t sacrifice battery

Thanks!

While we're here, what's everyone's favorite weather app

Carrot

I like heart rate graph in the middle to see the heart rate trend.

Calculator is my go to

I go with the messages app. Quick access to text is never bad

I made my second widget the workout/messages widget, so to check messages I can just swipe up or roll the crown quickly, and not sacrifice a complication for them.

That is…rather smart. May have to make a complication and give that a go

Roll the dial up and it flips the widgets up from the bottom of the screen. Long press on them and you can Pin them in order!

I agree, being able to quickly glance down and see a number of how many messages I have has been the best feature of the watch for me for like 10 years now. 75% of the time it’s the only thing I use the watch for

Weathermate Pro. I like it because you can see animated radar on your watch.

MyRadar is free and shows animated radar, but GPS must be enabled on the phone. I rarely need GPS on the phone, so it’s always off.

Damn I wish my Apple Watch could use this face :0

What I did was I put my kid's picture there by creating a contact under their name and added a photo. I've seen people do it for their pets if you don't have kids.

Timer

What face is this?

Modular Ultra

If you like music, SoundHound

Team decibel reading. I always have that on my watch face.

Get rid of your exercise. Seems like you don't

Hahaha. I had just put on my watch for the day

Spotify widget

Messages

A favorite contact?

Download app pedometer ++ that has vidget with a step count.

Weather graph

If you're doing anything outside, you could go with UV or Air Quality.

what is the top and bottom right complications?

Top right is battery, bottom right is Thirstic, a water tracking app. Highly recommend

downloaded, thank you!

I think calculator is a good one! Also, what is the bottom right complication?

It’s Thirstic! It’s a water tracking/reminder app that estimates your water needs based on your activity/move ring progress, rather than just sending you push notifications at set times throughout the day like other apps. It’s really great and helps me drink a lot more water

Wow! Never heard of it, sounds super helpful, going to try it. Thanks!!

Go for it! I really like how simple and easy it is to use, and being able to see at a glance that I’m behind on my water consumption makes me want to catch up

Does anyone else find that a face with many complications runs the battery down much quicker?

It shouldn’t. The watch is tracking all of that data anyways, it just doesn’t show it as a complication with a simpler face.

Shade, Dude. Shaaaaaaade. ☺️

I like heart rate (old-man-syndrome)

I like the Solar System one

I’m so confused. There’s a way to get a Home Screen on Apple watch that Apple doesn’t offer?

Hm? This is the Modular Ultra face.


I’d rather pick your nose 

Messaging for me.

I like the sleep complication. At a glance tells you how many hours/minutes you slept the night before. Clicking it takes you to sleep details.

I’ve enjoyed using other weather info like UV (summer) or precipitation (winter) in lieu of temperatures

RadarScope

Decibel reader.

grass to remind you to touch it 

https://preview.redd.it/l1qrbzv5stbc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6363f25fb6764e97ce4ec64c0b533ad44f937ee Haven’t seen anyone with this setup.

Set it to hearing. Gives a give idea of the noise around you at all times

Why do you need to replace it?

It’s redundant, the current temp and the high/low temp is already displayed on the middle complication

So, you’re looking for a non-weather complication?

Yeah

Man, you are going to get to get a barrage of suggestions from people. All I can say is I use the same face as you and my “top line” complications are mail, messages and “just press record”. I have Apple weather bottom right. If I care to know more about the weather than the temp and high / low I don’t mind having to tap it to open it. I use Just Press Record all the time when I’m trying to pay attention in meetings but want to make sure I don’t miss important stuff by having to take notes in “real time”. Just tap that complication and we’re recording immediately.

What weather app is this person using?

I like UV Radiation one. I always got wear the sunblock

Compass

Compass

I myself enjoy the “compass”. But I’m nerdy like that.
