How to Change the Position of Complications

Apple Watch complications are functions or apps available on the Apple Watch, such as weather information, schedules, and activity rings.

Most watch faces allow you to set complications, giving you direct access to various features from the watch face.

You can also swap or change the position of complications.

Here, we'll show you how to change the position of complications on the "Infograph" watch face, which can display up to eight complications.

The procedure is similar for other watch faces, but be aware that some watch faces (like Artist, Snoopy) do not support complications.

Changing from the Apple Watch

Here's how to change from the Apple Watch.

For example, let's move the "Date" complication from the top left to the top right on the "Infograph" watch face.

  1. Long press on the watch face and tap "Edit"
  2. Swipe left or right to navigate to the "Complications" screen
  3. Tap the complication you want to change and choose a different one from the same category

If you want to set a complication from a different category, follow these steps:

  1. Tap the top right "Temperature" complication → Tap "Back"
  2. Select "Date" from the "Calendar" section
  3. The top right complication has now been changed to today's date!

Finally, change the top left complication to something else to complete the repositioning.

How to Change the Position (Orientation) of the Apple Watch Digital Crown

On the Apple Watch, you can freely change the orientation to your preference.

There's no rule that says the Digital Crown must be on the right or left side.

Consider changing the orientation when switching wrists or if you want to prevent accidental operations caused by the Digital Crown touching your wrist.

Changing from the Apple Watch

To change the orientation from the Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown to go to the Home screen (app list).

Tap "Settings," then go to "General" → "Orientation."

There are two settings in the "Orientation" screen. Change the "Wrist" setting when switching wrists.

To change the position of the Digital Crown, change the "Digital Crown" setting.

Switching the Digital Crown between left and right will flip the screen upside down, changing the Digital Crown's position.

Changing from the iPhone's Watch App

To change the orientation from the Watch app, go to the "My Watch" screen, then navigate to "General" → "Watch Orientation."

Change the "Wear Apple Watch On" setting to switch wrists.

To change the Digital Crown position, select either "Digital Crown on Left Side" or "Digital Crown on Right Side."

How to Rearrange Watch Faces

When you long press on the Apple Watch face, all the watch faces registered in the Watch app's "My Faces" will be displayed.

You can swipe left or right to change the watch face, but the order might make it hard to find your favorite watch face quickly.

If you want to quickly access your favorite watch faces, consider rearranging them.
