For some reason, the complications available for all of my watch faces DO NOT give the option for “date.”
I don’t know what the deal is.... please help!
Im using Apple iPhone XS w 14.0 beta and Apple Watch 5 w watchOS 6.2.8.
I realize that it shows the top as off, but even when I enter the drop down list, “date” or “calendar” isn’t available.
Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6
Maybe it has to do with the iOS14 Beta that you are running? I'm running 13.6 with the same WatchOS as you and when I go to the Meridian watch face, the Sub-dial top top complication can be set to a whole array of options, including Date, which shows the day of the week and the date underneath it. Di d you use this watch face before with iOS13 and experience the same issue? When you turn the sub-dial Top complication on, what options are you given?

I get it. Totally. The actual non-Beta 14 won't land for some time, I think Apple is on record as saying "the Fall" and I won't speculate beyond that. But one easy, risk-free- possible cure, would be to reboot both you watch and your iPhone, first your iPhone and letting that fully start back up and then your watch. Can't hurt, and you may well have tried it already, but I just cured a friend of mine's watch issue (also complication related -- weather wasn't updating) by doing that...so who knows.
Either way, enjoy your new Series 5!

I’m really not sure. I had just gotten the series 5 when I updated to the 14 beta. And I had a series 2 watch prior to that.
Is anyone else running the 14 beta that is having the same issue?
Any idea when the 14.0 regular release comes out?
I included two pictures of the options available in the first post.
ETA: 2 things: All of the other info most likely posted while I was responding and so I deleted my comment...totally missed the beta part.
I am nervous to lose any new messages or anything I’ve done since I updated to the beta. And the beta is otherwise awesome, so I can rough it until the non-beta drops, I think. Thanks though
That's great! Well done! If only every problem in life (especially these days) could be trouble-shot (is that a word? :-)) and resolved so neatly. Anyway, glad it all worked out.

As i specified, in the first post, the options for date are not available even when I attempt to turn that top dial “on.” I included several pictures of the options I have available. Date is not one of them.
Have you considered deleting iOS14 Beta and going back to the current non-Beta version and seeing if the problem continues? That would at least let you know if that was the cause. I just re-reviewed my Meridian watch face and have tons of complication options, including the ones you showed originally (that I did not realized you had posted originally! :-)). Date is there for me. Deleting the Beta would be a nice controlled way of showing whether this is Beta-related problem.

So, I have a third party calendar app installed on my iPhone. I had deleted the native Apple calendar app.
On a whim, I redownloaded it, and BAM! Date shows up in the watch complication menus again!!!
thanks for the help!
Complications don’t give option for date
