How to add a countdown to your Apple Watch face

Add Daymark to a compatible watch-face slot

Use the installed companion on watchOS 11 or later. Confirm the countdown in the Watch app before editing the face.

1. Touch and hold the current watch face and choose Edit.
2. Swipe to the complication controls.
3. Choose a slot that supports the available Daymark complication.
4. Select Daymark from that slot's options.
5. Use the Digital Crown to finish and return to the face.
6. Compare the displayed event with Daymark on the Watch.

Choose the face for the information

A small circular slot and a larger rectangular slot have different room for text. Pick a shape that leaves the countdown readable alongside the rest of the face. If Daymark is not offered in one slot, review another supported slot or face.

If the complication shows an older count

A complication follows system refresh timing and can show an older snapshot than the open app. Check the Watch app before editing the original event. Keep the iPhone target unchanged while diagnosing a face-only display difference.

When Daymark is absent from one slot

Watch faces support different complication families. Try another supported slot or face rather than assuming the app disappeared. A small slot has less room for a title. The complication can refresh less often than the open Watch app.
