    Any extra function beyond telling the time is called a ‘complication’ because when the original watchmakers of mechanical watches were asked to add an additional feature they felt it complicated their work. True.

      Right. It's not a new word that Apple invented. Watch people have used this word for things like moon phase dials for well over a century.

    I’m always using the multiple timer function. But the best thing is if you use Siri to dictate and set a timer and tell it to title that individual timer something, it will then remind you what thing you were timing. Useful for cooking when several things are all on different timers. "Hey Siri set a 15 minute timer, titled check potatoes".

  • @theon9575

    "Complications" This is NOT really such a 'stoopid' term (2:30) as you say. Complication is a traditional watchmakers' term used by Swiss & other watch producers for over 120 years to refer to any function of a watch beyond its basic function of giving the time. Quite normal, common around the world, and it's not stupid 😂 .
    Thus, a mechanical watch that also shows the date has one complication, and further complications are built into more expensive clockwork watches, including the date, a separate second-hand, or the month, etc.
    Rolex and other high-end watches can include many complications such as the month, phase of the moon, time in another time-zone etc.. Watchmakers even compete and show off their design skills by building in more complications than others. Louis XIV's personal clock has the most complications ever built into one timepiece, and its designer is a legend among modern horologists.
    The Apple watch is still a watch, but it's electronic and so can include numerous fancy complications not possible in clock-work watches.

    Multiple Timers on the Apple Watch:
    You can also name your timers. This is helpful in cooking, child care, maybe health care, coaching.
    Also, I find using Siri the easiest way to set the timers.
    How to:
    Say: Siri set 2 minute eggs timer, Siri set a 5 minute Doug time out timer, Siri set a 10 minute screen time timer.
    Then your watch will have a title on the timer while it is running and when it goes off. This can cut down on the confusion if you are super busy.

    Killer feature of the Theatre Mode: the flashlight will be soft red instead of bright white. So nice for midnight trips to the bathroom. (I have the action button set as a flashlight). My number one feature request is ability to set the default flashlight setting to always be red, so you don’t need to be in theatre mode to have quick access to red light.

    I got a watch yesterday, and while it's kinda gimmicky, I think there's a good case for having one if you're out and about a lot and don't always wanna be grabbing a phone and setting it down etc. just glance and get back to whatever you're doing.

    @2:32 In the days of mechanical watches, anytime additional gears were added to show the day, date, etc, it made the gear system more complicated. Thus the name “Complication”. SmartWatch makers retained the name, and presumably is still somewhat accurate, though more complicated from an additional coding point. :-)

    Another option for two-finger face touch as shown at 1:56, besides announcing the time, is haptic time where the watch silently vibrates the time. It’s so cool and good for in bed and quiet theaters when you don’t want to light up your watch and can’t have an announcement. 😊 See settings

      I suggest that you carefully go through all sounds and voice related settings, including volume and mutes, on BOTH the Watch app on your mobile and also all settings on your watch, and it will come good.
      I'm a complete dumbo on these matters, and if I can do it so can you.

    You probably have a number of apps on your Apple Watch. When I organize my apps, I organize them by the ones I use the most to one particular side of the screen. So I don’t have to go looking through all of the apps to find the one I’m looking for. Organizing by color is nice, but do we really use all the apps all the time. Maybe about four or five. That we use most.
