Apple Watch Complications
Hereish complications put your current town on your watch face. One glance, no tapping required.
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”- Apple Watch running watchOS 10.6 or later
- Paired with an iPhone running Hereish
Adding a Complication
Section titled “Adding a Complication”- Long press on your watch face.
- Tap “Edit”.
- Swipe to the complications panel (the screen where you can change individual slots).
- Tap the complication slot you want to change.
- Scroll through the list and find “Hereish”.
- Select the Hereish complication.
- Press the Digital Crown to save.
Not all complication slots support all types. If you don’t see Hereish in a particular slot, that slot may not support the complication family Hereish provides. Try a different slot.
Complication Types
Section titled “Complication Types”Graphic Rectangular
Section titled “Graphic Rectangular”The most spacious option. Displays the Hereish icon alongside the town name and state abbreviation. This shows the most information and is the easiest to read at a glance.
Available on watch faces with rectangular complication slots, such as Infograph Modular and Modular Ultra.
Graphic Circular
Section titled “Graphic Circular”A compact circle showing the Hereish icon or a short town name. Best for faces that use circular complications, like Infograph.
Due to the limited space, longer town names will be abbreviated.
Graphic Corner
Section titled “Graphic Corner”Displays an abbreviated town name in the corner position of the watch face. Available on faces like Infograph that support corner complications.
Accessory Inline
Section titled “Accessory Inline”A single line of text showing the town name. Appears above the watch face on compatible layouts. No icon — just the location as text.
How It Updates
Section titled “How It Updates”Your Apple Watch receives location data from your iPhone via WatchConnectivity. Here’s how the pipeline works:
- When your iPhone updates its location (either from the foreground or via Significant Location Change monitoring in the background), it sends the new data to your Watch.
- If the Watch is reachable (paired, nearby, powered on), the update arrives within seconds.
- If the Watch is temporarily out of range, the update is queued and delivered when the connection is re-established.
- If no update has arrived from the iPhone in 10+ minutes (for example, if your iPhone is off or you left it at home), the Watch falls back to its own GPS to get a location fix.
For the best complication accuracy, make sure your iPhone has “Always” location permission granted to Hereish. This keeps the iPhone’s location cache current in the background, which means your Watch always has fresh data. See Download & Permissions for details.
Tapping a Complication
Section titled “Tapping a Complication”Tapping any Hereish complication opens the Hereish watch app, which shows the town name, state, and icon in a simple centered layout.
- Graphic Rectangular gives you the best readability. If your watch face supports it, start there.
- The Watch relies on your iPhone for most location updates. If your Watch complication seems stuck, check that your iPhone is nearby and has a current location in Hereish.
- Going for a run without your iPhone? The Watch will use its own GPS after about 10 minutes of no iPhone contact. The location will still update, though Watch GPS may be slightly less accurate than iPhone GPS.
