Watch face studio questions

Two complication slots show up on my watch face, but when I test the face on my actual watch the complications are blank

WFS uses exemplar text and icons so you can do looks and positioning they will not show up on the Watch. If you have a default provider then the watch will start with that and you need to customize it as @Knightwing said for it to show.

I added a green dot that only shows when I have an unread notification; however, this doesn’t seem to work.

Wear OS has a built in Notifications dot. I imagine if you turned off the notifications in the settings that the dot you created does not work either. Notifications are set for individual apps.

I have Outlook on my phone, but this is through my phone’s work profile. What I don’t get is that I will get Outlook notifications (emails, etc.) on my watch

I think that is an outlook issue or a set up options. There is an outlook app on your watch either delete it or just turn notifications off for it.

If you set messages as the complication it shows a snippet of the message Try that instead of the notifications.

Where can I find a list of the most common complications and the data types that each complication offers (icon, title, text, etc.)?

You can only find Mandatory complications they are the default apps in the complications and depend on the complication slot type and the complication type. But it would be nice to have a list.
