Our Favorite Apple Watch Complications in 2026

CARROT Weather is a powerful, full-featured weather app. Along with temperature visualization, CARROT Weather provides information about humidity, precipitation, wind speed, and much more.

You get quick summaries of the current, 24-hour, and seven-day forecasts on the main screen. Simply select a section to pull up details, and easily switch between locations with Force Touch.

For those who want or need to track their heart rate in even more detail than Apple Watch provides, FITIV Pulse GPS Cardio Tracker (free) is an excellent option.

Its complications display high and low heart rates live. Even the small complication versions display this info, which ultimately saves screen space.

Bear may be a simple complication, but considering it’s one of the best iOS (and macOS) notes apps, it’s invaluable.

With Bear for Apple Watch, create new notes with just your voice, append text to existing notes, and check off tasks in notes. Bear for Apple Watch works across all watch faces and integrates with Bear for iPhone and Mac.

Commuters and weekend travelers can rejoice about the Citymapper app’s helpful complications. The free app is there to get you from point A to point B, but the Apple Watch complication provides information at a glance without pulling your iPhone out.

The complication works across various watch face size spots and is delightful, regardless of the size used.

Spotify was relatively late to provide an Apple Watch app and complication, but its offering should be great news for Spotify users (on free and paid plans).

The complication doesn’t provide anything new or groundbreaking, but if you’re heavily invested in Spotify, the convenience of this complication may be all you’re looking for.

The MLB At Bat complication is a premier tool for following your favorite baseball team. The app’s developers keep up with teams’ updated branding (colors, etc.), providing scores and quick access to game information.

MLB At Bat offers two subscription options: a recurring yearly or monthly fee. The developers add new features and provide updates frequently.

Things 3 is arguably one of the best task apps, and its beautiful complications work on any watch face. It focuses more on task accomplishment than task management.

One minor bummer is that the remaining tasks are displayed as a progress bar and don’t show the actual number of tasks remaining.

When asked about it, the developer explained that it was more interested in branding (always showing a checkmark) than displaying the number of remaining tasks.
