Guys, please keep all missing complications related threads in one thread so that it grows bigger and louder so that MacRumors notices it and writes about it, which in turn will catch Apple's attention
This doesn't surprise me too much based on how complications are created. There are types and if you don't register your complication as providing a specific type it won't be there. It seems like it is an oversight and they just forgot to add the registration piece for these.
There are so many types and some are similar it is a little daunting to provide them all. Circular/Modular/Color/etc.

Ditto. It's just a simple shortcut to opening the messages app (no updates in background) so don't see why they removed this in the first place.
Hoping some of these complication anomalies can be corrected in software updates. It all has the feeling of not being quite ready.
Oh, and no "Now playing" on infographic faces either.

Anyone else not seeing the complication for this watch face? It shows up on the legacy ones but not the new infographic watch faces. Maybe we have to wait for nike to update the app?
I was disappointed too that all of the reasonable and appropriate apps did not have Infographic-compatible complications at launch, but I agree that it's a temporary situation. Well-supported third-party apps will add Infographic complications soon, and I expect Apple will play catch-up with their missing apps.
Interesting. Fire and water face is a new face, but has all the old style missing complications: HomeKit, podcasts, messages, all the 3rd party.
It’s a complication on one of the older faces, but the score isn’t updating. I remember them bragging the scores update in real time. I’ve been searching for an hour to figure out what I did wrong but alas, it was just puffery. Kinda blows, Apple.
I am wondering how having this many complications effects battery life?
I was at 100% at 3pm today and now my watch is already down to 68%. I haven't really used it much since I charged it up. Seems fast to me. (I am coming from a series 2)

This is what they showed in the Keynote.. I wouldn't even mind the "old style" MLB At-Bat complication, but none work on the Infograph Modular face. I'm sticking with the regular Modular for now, hopefully the 3rd party updates come son!

Just chiming in to say I'm baffled that I can add Drafts, Carrot, and Just Press Record complications to Infograph but not Home. That's ludicrous. And Apple has been through extensive beta testing for many months, so it's hard to believe that they just didn't have enough time to implement all of the stock complications to this face. But I can't fathom what the rationale is behind limiting certain comps on certain faces.
I thought I was the only one who noticed this. Major bummer.
I'm assuming that'll be the default view once the At Bat app has been updated for these new complications.
Thanks. Fascinating it’s masked like that ... it's interesting in that the iPhone X does not take screenshots with rounded edges, it shows squared corners, as if the display is masking them out physically on the phone, but they're still there.
Just musing out loud, not that you’d know, but I wonder if Android Wear watch screenshots are similarly masked circles within a square.

Too many missing compilations and even the home app is missing in the list on your iPhone Apple Watch 4 app.
Also, Apple states that home complication is available on watch faces but it isn’t:

I think so. I can't even install the Nike-App on my wacht, because it "demands" an update... annoying...
New Watch owner here and feel like I'm missing something obvious when it comes to adding complications.
I have settled on using the Infograph Modular but find that the stock sunrise-sunset isn't an option for the three small circle spots on the bottom nor the one on the top left. So I got the app Sundial thinking that would offer me a complication and, despite being installed on the Watch and being listed under the Complications area in my paired iPhone, it does not appear as an option.
I also have other 3rd party complications listed there including Underground, Tide Graph, Tides and Ocean Watch. Only Ocean Watch currently comes up as an option.
Would really like to see sunrise/sunset times in the top left or one of the bottom three complications. I touched base with the Carrot Weather developer who is planning to bringing this out but wondered, again, if I'm missing something obvious here.
Thanks!
EDIT: Figured it out. Used the apparently older Infograph face and was able to access all. Guess it's a waiting game until 3rd parties update their complications for the new Infograph Modular but Apple now allowing some of their stock apps is just dumb

Same here. My biggest gripe is I can't get the stock Messages app or any the 3rd party apps I like on the new modular Infograph face. It's very disappointing. I see there's a few other threads on this as well. You would think at least Messages would be supported. Having to go back to the older modular face is a bummer. Hopefully updates come fast.
