Installation

Getting a dial onto your Apple Watch, and what to do when it doesn't go through.

Install a
watch face

Start at the top. Each block picks up where the previous one failed.

Before you start

Your Apple Watch is paired with this iPhone and is the active one.
Both devices are nearby, with Airplane Mode off.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are on, and your iPhone has internet.
Chronoix is installed on your Apple Watch.

How do I install a dial?

Pick the dial you want in Chronoix on your iPhone.
Tap Buy or Install.
When Apple's sheet appears, tap Add to My Faces.
Check the dial on your Apple Watch.

The dial installed, but the face is black

Press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch.
Open Chronoix from the app list.
Tap Refresh.
Leave it open a few seconds — the complications turn on one by one.
Go back to the watch face.

Still black after tapping Refresh

Leave Chronoix open on your Apple Watch.
Back on your iPhone, open the dial and tap Install again.
Tap Add to My Faces.
Give the complications a few seconds.

Install keeps loading and nothing happens

Use this when Apple's Add to My Faces sheet never appears.

Open the App Switcher on your iPhone.
Swipe Chronoix away to close it fully.
Reopen it, open the dial, and tap Install.

A complication shows a dash

A dash means there is no value to show: Health access is off, or Apple Health has no recent reading for that category.

On your iPhone, open Menu › Settings › Permissions.
Tap Apple Health.
If the button says Allow, tap it and pick the categories you want on your dial.
If it says Open Health, tap it and follow the steps on that page.
On your Apple Watch, open Chronoix and tap Refresh.

Chronoix isn't on my Apple Watch

Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
Tap My Watch and scroll to Available Apps.
Find Chronoix and tap Install.
Open it on your Apple Watch.
Back on your iPhone, tap Install on the dial again.
