PIM or personal information management, complications I like are reminders, upcoming events and timers , but there's anything under the calendar, contacts, and so on.
When you go to add a complication, only complications you can add in that location will be shown as options. So when only a small complication will fit then you'll only be shown small complications. The bigger trick is that a complication may look differently in a space for a small complication then it will for a space for a large complication. I don't know how to sort all of this out except through trial and error, which is why I say you don't need to figure it all out in one session. You can pick up some clues though, for example, if you see that you have three complications across the bottom, like lower left, lower center and lower right then you know these will be smaller complications. Also, some complications that have a lot information in them, like events, weather, activity, ..., will be able to display more when they go into a spot for a larger complication. Sorry that isn't a lot of help, but for me at least, the best way to figure this out and settle on what you like is just by trial and error. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Kay Malmquist Sent: Sunday, August 6, 2023 2:59 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple Watch face input wanted I have a couple of questions for you. What are PIM complications? Now as far as messing around with different faces, a lot of faces won't let you add certain complications in the places you want to add them. How can you figure out what can go where without wasting a lot of time and then discovering that it isn't available? Thanks for any input.

I use the modular face as my default face with mostly PIM complications on it. I also have an activity face for obvious reasons. Finally, as we were traveling around Durango Colorado, I added an infograph face with complications related to weather and geography. Before I settled on these three I had half a dozen or more faces on my watch, and I'd flip between them until I settled on the three above. This is another thing I'd suggest doing, specifically use the Watch app on your phone and browse the faces until you see one that looks interesting based on the number of complications and the information it comes with. You can also pay attention to the description of it's appearance. Once you find one that's interesting, spend a few minutes to set it up and then play with it for a week or so. Try another one the following week and eventually you'll settle on exactly what you're looking for. This is what I did, and I thought it was kind of fun playing around with the different options to see what I liked and I didn't like. I didn't try to do it all at once though. Obviously not everyone is going to find this "fun!" -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, August 6, 2023 2:20 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Apple Watch face input wanted I used to use the Modular, but ever since Apple added the Infograph I have been using it as it offers the most complications. Of course you could use 2 or 3 watch faces and arrange them so that the main one is in the middle and you either swipe left or right to get to the other two which could be set up for more specific things like Health/workout or home automation, but I prefer to have most of what I want on one complication which for me includes of course the time, sunrise/sunset, battery status, heart rate, the workout app and a few other apps like Apple Home and the one for my store's alarm system. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Sunday, August 6, 2023 12:12 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple Watch face input wanted Thanks Christopher and all others who sent their thoughts.
