Apple Watch Integrations

Good morning all.

After having a Fitbit and 2 UPs break on me, I went with an Apple Watch.

I'm struggling a bit with the integration between AW and MPF.

I think I do have the AW set properly for a step source. I'll figure that out for sure through the next couple of days. I just want one source for the truth here.

What I'd like and don't know if I can do this is to have the MFP data much more available on the watch. I use the "Modular" watch face and it has place to display several "Complications". (Complementary Applications i think is what that stands for). I keep the watch battery life, temp, stock on the watch face.

Does anyone know, is there a "complication" for MFP? If so, any idea how to enable it?

I'd really like to see my MFP progress NOT the apple watch movement. I'd really really like to see a bar graph (circular would be fine) that showed my step progress and my deficit or overage on calories earned and any deficit.

Thanks,
Steve

    Hi Steve, I've been using the Apple Watch with MFP since June. The app on the watch has been a disappointment so far, but the integration of exercise tracking has been fairly flawless. Occasionally, I'll get a double update to my exercise log which is annoying.

    I love your idea for a MFP complication...but I'm fairly positive it does not exist.

    Yeah, no complication yet.

    MFP app appears on my Watch Face but I do have it set to show "progress to date" only if I activate the 3 circles , otherwise the complication that enables me to immediately see the most is choosing watch face "custom" to display calories, exercise minutes and standing credit.
