A complication is a feature in a watch face that shows any information beyond the simple display of hours and minutes. By using Facer Tags creatively, you can create any number of your own complications! To get started, we provide some simple examples that you can use in your watch face. These can all be edited to show different information by changing the tags in the advanced settings of the element.
