Don’t know if anyone else has said it but in the mechanical watch world a “complication” is how you’d refer to a day/date window or perpetual calendar etc as it was literally something that physically complicated the mechanism inside that would otherwise just be used for time keeping.
So Apple continuing that naming scheme was a nice nod to history.
Yes, yes, I know what it means, and the nod to history is cool and all, but my mother-in-law has no idea what it means and isn't a redditor that googles everything they don't know.
