Heart Rate Complication just an icon, no bpm number

In the watch face, the Heart Rate Complication doesn't have a number on it except when it is in a position to have a separate readout like the middle of the Infograph face (shown here). Unlike the dB reading, the date, the battery power, weather, UV (etc etc, almost everything else), it doesn't simply display the bpm number on the icon.


What am I doing wrong?

Right

So if I put the heart complication where the dB or battery complications are, it just shows the heart icon and never gets the bpm number on it. It becomes a dead icon with no live info.

Oh. This complication is kind of worthless unless it’s in a location with a large readout?


why wouldn’t it just put the bpm number in the small icon like the dB readout? lol


My bpm is probably much higher rn but I can’t tell unless I have it in the right spot or open the whole app. :)


Is there a good app that does this correctly as a complication that I can buy? Apple really dropped the ball violently on this one
