Data From Other Apps

Show a value from another app on your watchface, but only if that app was built to share its data as a complication. This needs PRO.

Most apps don't support this. The developer of the app has to add complication support to it. Official Garmin apps don't have it, and most third-party apps don't either. Without it, the watchface can't read any data from that app, so the app won't show up here. Would you like to use an app that doesn't have it yet? Its developer is the one who can add it, so it's worth sending them a request.

Set it up

  1. Install the app on your watch and open it once.
  2. Open a field in Data and choose Data → Plugins → Custom Complication.
  3. Choose Data Options → Complication, and pick the value you want.

If you see No compatible apps found, none of your installed apps support complications. Just installed one that does? Try Refresh all data.

Limits

A custom complication shows the plain value from the app, without its own icon or data formatting.

Some apps are supported officially, with their own fields and icons. See Plugins. Would you like official support for your app? Contact me at .
