What Are Complications?

Q: What is a complication?
A: Complications are mini data widgets that live inside your watch face. They display real-time info like glucose, insulin, trends, and timestamps.

Q: Are there different types of complications?
A: Yes! These include:

• Short Text (e.g., "Glucose: 110 mg/dL")

• Long Text (e.g., "Glucose is steady at 110 mg/dL.")

• Icon (e.g., a trend arrow)

• Small Image (e.g., "Glucose: 110 mg/dL")

• Ranged Value (e.g., a progress bar showing in-range glucose values)
