Add some hands and an index to the complication. In this example, the complication will show the battery level.

1. Index: Go to Component > Index.
2. Hands: Add some hands, then go to Properties > Sync to > Battery %. Set rotation to 1.

Step 3. Make an interactive complication

The complication is now a button, and you can change its properties.

Decide what you want your new button to do when it is tapped.
In this example, the Battery app will open.

Click 1 Show the list of apps from the drop-down menu.

Step 7. Complication complete
Your complication is now complete.
It will show the current battery level. When tapped, the Battery app will open.

Step 8. Save as a custom complication
If you want to use this complication in another watch face, save it. Select all the components of the complication, right-click on it, then select Save As Complication. When prompted, enter a name for your complication and click OK. When you open another project or start a new one, from the component menu, go to Complications > Custom and select your custom complication to add to the project.
