I just tried fantastical again and now I’m starting to like it. I realized you can customize the plications via the iPhone app settings and now I’ve got it how I want it.
I like that it summarizes both calendar events and todo events from iCloud and it allows me to how all day events and some other neat customizations. I’m using it like this.
how did you make it to show the bpm like that? mine just shows the heart icon.
It’s the cardiogram complication.
The problem with third party heart rate complications is they don’t update as often as apples complication.
The problem with apples complication is it o lot shows the actual heart rate if it’s in a large complication spot, otherwise it’s just a heart icon.
If Apple would show the heart rate on the icon it would be so much better but you know how Apple is with these things.
Whoever make these decisions at Apple seem they have been isolated for too long in their own world that they don't really know what is practical and helpful for average working people outside Apple, Inc.
Ya, like on the Infograph face you can have Digital Time on the Sun-Dial Top, but you can't put in the the bottom?? Weird restrictions Apple has implemented/overlooked.
I find Dark Sky much more accurate and useful than the stock weather app.
Their forecast accuracy just isn’t very good.
This site does a good job of analyzing forecast accuracy.

Hmm - I think carrot weather has an option to use weather Underground but at (another) premium?
Apple’s weather app takes data from the weather channel which like wunderground is owned by IBM now, so both are probably sharing data. That’s why I think apple’s forecast app is finally now providing good forecasts and real-time weather data. So I’m using the Apple weather complication now and I’m pretty happy with it.
Totally agree.
Never thought I would bin my paid weather apps in favour of Apples default weather app...... but it works more reliably for me.
It may be good enough for the US of A but the forecasts for the UK are terrible and highly inaccurate.
It’s not good in the us but some people don’t know there’s anything better out there. The UI is nice though. I really wish I could use it.
Indeed, best weather combo I've found (features, accuracy, price, etc) in the UK is the UK's Met Office Weather and Dark Skies for hyper-local data. Carrot Weather looks good, but I don't like the flat base theme and I'm not wanting to subscribe for weather warnings.
That’s really interesting that Apple would show a complication that doesn’t exist. I guess they also showed off the ECG functionality which isn’t out yet. Hopefully we’ll have all of the complications ported over by the time ECG is released.
By the way I talked to the “App In The Air” developer and they are working on updating their complications.
Hopefully it’s soon as podcast app is the only thing missing on the info graph watch face for me
Ah, boo. I wish I had seen this before buying. I would have waited a while to see whether apps get the necessary updates. Adding more than four complications was the sole reason for upgrading from the Watch 3 to the Watch 4.
Depending on how long it takes Todoist, etc to be updated, I might end up wishing I had waited until the Watch 5.
It is amazing how much the little bit of extra screen space matters though. The PIN entry pad is a great example, where it feels comfortable on the Watch 4 but I'm never quite sure I got the right button with the Watch 3.

Yeah I mistyped my passcode on the 3 all the time. The 4 is just big enough to get it the first time.
The PIN pad really needs to go, for all but the occasional use. Hopefully FaceID will replace that soon enough.
