Any (surely) dude who calls a feature on his glorified step counter a "complication" has already let you know everything you need to know about them.


Complication is a well-established term in the watch industry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complication_(horology)


A complication is a watch related term for any feature that doesn't tell the time, and predates electronic watches.


I am a mechanical watch collector. I stand by my opinion that the widgets on the Apple watch should never be called complications by anyone, ever.


I guess Apple officially calls them complications. My bad, but ugh.
