Complications disappeared from Watch app on iPhone

Watch app doesn't show "complications" on "my watch" on iPhone.

The problem appeared after the update 14.4.

It shows "notification", "app view," and "dock", then "General".

In Faces it also doesn't show complications as "activity" nor "blood oxygen", even apple complications are not showing up.

I restart the phone and watch, but nothing changed. I reset the iPhone and even that didn't fix the problem.

iPhone has IOS 14.4 and watch has WatchOS 7.3.

The Watch app on the phone is screwed up after the last update. I was able to restore my watch face and all complications using the watch screen only. Start with a Long Press in the center of the screen. When it pops up, tap EDIT. You’ll be in the Color edit mode. Tap the Complications tab at the top next to color. From there tap the face location where you want a complication. Then scroll through the complications list and tap the one you want. Move to the next spot and repeat. If for some reason it stops working, long press the screen to re-enter edit mode.

Complications is the term for subdials, date windows and other mechanical ‘complications’ on analog watches and chronographs.

I was having the same problem. I’ve unpaired the Apple Watch, restarted my phone and Apple Watch, then paired it again. Now it’s working fine again.
