Providing Placeholder Complications
When your users are adding complications to their watch face, they’ll see your app by name in the list, sorted alphabetically, as they scroll through the list of supported complications from their apps. On the watch face itself, however, they’ll see some placeholder content instead of real content. This is deliberate—notice that while you’re configuring the watch face, it sets its time to 10:09, another nod to traditional watchmaking. In the same way, complication placeholder content represents the typical content of a complication, not necessarily its actual content. It’s a chance for you to show your users what the complication is all about, so you should put your best face forward.
