        I’m lost - what is a complication? From my initial Google, it does seem like my Garmin can add additional things to the face but I’m still kind of unclear as to what a complication is. For reference I have heart rate, step count, mileage, body battery and weather on my vivoactive3 face.

          Complications are additional snippets of information displayed right on your watch face, such as activity tracking, battery life, media controls and more.

          From https://www.google.com/amp/s/blog.google/products/wear-os/5-ways-to-personalize/amp/

          Basically, I’d like to know if I have unread messages by looking at my watch. My Fitbit can’t do that. AFAIU, Garmins can’t, but I could be wrong.

          They should be customizable by third party developers, but I think I’d be happy just knowing about SMS, Gmail, and maybe upcoming appointments.

          EDIT: also the high/low temperature for the day. It’s helpful for choosing kids clothes for the day.

            I’m confident that mail and sms show up as the notification icon, but they’re bundled so they all look like one “notification” on the watch face. Not sure on the calendar side - I specifically block a bunch of app pushes to my watch because my phone is mostly a distraction when I work, so I don’t like my watch buzzing for every little thing.

            I do get high/low temp on the face, which is very handy. Plus it’s always on (LCD, not OLED) - not as pretty as some, but 5 plus day battery life.

              That’s awesome! I’ll have to take a look!

              The temperature thing would be so handy.

            Garmin has all that.

            Maybe for something like a notification you can just see how many there are and tap into it to see different types. But they’re there

            Having the battery last about 10x longer makes that minor inconvenience worth it
