Apple Watch complications are not working

I got my watchl Last Thursday. I was having with data which Apple support help me resolve. Third party apps were interfering with data. Oh, I was also having problems with complications, not loading. This started after an update I forget what day maybe Sunday. I have tried a bunch of things, and complications don’t blow away they are supposed to. Does anyone know how do you that will allow me to view the complications on my watch as they appear in an apps watch gallery? SE Series

I have an Apple Watch 8. This Modular Watch face was available to me when I tapped Watch > Face Gallery on my iPhone 13 Pro. I was able to customize the compilations to show Battery and Heart Rate. None of the watch faces show Steps separate from Activity but I was able to add Activity as a compilation. The watch face shows the activity rings. The outer ring shows Move which gives me a good idea of the steps I’ve taken but if I want to see the exact step count, I have to tap the rings. Hopefully this will work for you and be available for your version Apple Watch. Check it out. Remember, you access this thru the Watch app on your iPhone.

Here is my watch face:

Tap and hold the face to edit complications.

The complications I want are not in any of the faces in the default gallery. They are not in the list of what I can swap it out with. The Activity app collects lots of data but it only gives the option of seeing the 3 circles. The 3rd party watch faces I’ve installed mess up data collection. I want a digital face. With battery, heart rate and steps. The 3 activity goals in complications. I hope the next update fixes things.
