Can you edit an Apple watch complication? Complications now too complicated!

Since my Apple watch update this morning, my complications have become way too complicated!


My lovely, simple watch face, is now not simple nor lovely.


For example, I just want to know what temperature it is. I do NOT need an ugly, prominent bar underneath the temperature telling me that -1 is somewhere between 0 and -3!


I just want to know my battery is at 94%, I don't need an ugly bar, prominent bar beneath it.


I can't remember what the time complication said, but I know it didn't have 11:52, +0HRS, and *** all with it. Unnecessary.


I just want to see my activity rings and be able to click into the activity screen. I have no idea what the three numbers above it are (suspect it's move, exercise & stand) but I don't want this info on my default watch face.


Does anyone know, is there any way to edit the complications to get back to how it displayed before the watch upgrade and unclutter my watch face? There's too much on it now, it's too complicated, too ugly, too distracting. If I want to know more, I can tap into the apps.

The temperature bar shows the High and Low temperatures for the day, and how the current temperature compares. It's not so bad.


My own gripe is the activity ring that has those gaudy numbers on it (as you pointed out.) If I wanted those numbers, I'd hit the rings, open the app, and look at the details.


None of this is user changeable.
