Start with Calendar for planning, Activity for progress, a Weather measure for conditions, Compass or Maps for getting around, and Shortcuts or Timers for repeated actions. Your watch face determines which complications and positions are available, so choose for both your routine and your preferred face.
What makes a complication useful?
A complication is a glanceable feature placed in a position on some Apple Watch faces. It can show information such as weather or data from an installed app, and most complications can be tapped to open the associated app. Apple’s complication guide lists built-in choices; its face guide explains that layouts determine which positions and options are available.
Give the most prominent position to the detail you check most often. Use smaller positions for supporting information, and leave a position empty if a crowded face is harder to read. This is a practical starting point, not a tested ranking. Consider what you need to see, whether tapping should open an app, how legible the option is in that position, and whether your watch supports it.
Best complications by routine
Everyday planning: Calendar
Calendar is a strong default when you want schedule information close at hand. Choose a schedule- or date-focused option according to what you need to check. Reminders may be a better fit if your main goal is a quick entry point for tasks.

Conditions: a specific Weather measure

Navigation and the outdoors: Compass, Compass Waypoints, or Maps
Compass, Compass Waypoints, and Maps serve different navigation needs. Apple also lists waypoint- and direction-related options, while Wayfinder is an example of a face designed for exploration. Availability depends on the watch, software, face, and region; check the options on your device.
Repeated actions: Shortcuts, Timers, or Home
Shortcuts can run a shortcut, Timers can show or launch timers, and Home can surface home controls. These are most useful when you already have a regular action in mind; adding one without a routine to support may take up a position without helping your day.
Rank #3
Health and wellbeing: Heart Rate, Sleep, Mindfulness, or Medications
These options may suit a specific tracking or wellbeing routine where supported. A complication is a convenient display or entry point, not a diagnosis or substitute for medical advice.

Capacity depends on the face. Apple’s current face guide describes Modular as having six complication slots and Modular Duo as offering up to three complications, including two larger rectangular options. More positions do not automatically make a face more useful: prioritize the information you can read and act on comfortably. Face availability can vary by software, watch model, and country or region, so confirm what appears on your watch.
