Wow! I feel like I got a gift today but I‘ve had it all along. Used the calculator app on my Ultra today to calculate a tip and there’s a “tip” button! Fanfreakingtastic!! What an awesome feature. This was my first time using the calculator app on the watch and I’ve had it for years.

I don't have an Ultra, I have a series 8 and I would just be thrilled if I could add the calculator to my control center. Even if I could add it to complications would be good, but apparently you can't add it to either. :(

But you can pin up to 10 apps to “Favorite” when you change what happens when you click power button on Apple Watch.
Edit: Apple Watch app on iPhone > Dock
:)

But the eight has all of the larger screen features, like text keyboard, except for the specific ultra faces, correct? You have the calculator app but cannot add it as a complication?

Just one of the bells, whistles and shiny doo-dads you'll find in that toy box you wear on your wrist.
You can also move the decimal and multiply by 2 in your head. Not really a calculator task.

I honestly don't have a clue how to do that. I'll see if I can figure that out in the morning, today has been a real "Monday" and my brain is dead. :) lol

I have the Ultra (had a series 4 previously) and can add the calculator complication to both of my current faces, Modular, and Infograph, but can’t imagine why that would be exclusive to the Ultra. Anyhow, seeing this thread inspired me to swap the never needed wind speed complication for calculator.

The user guide says that if you remove the calculator app from the phone (!, lol) it will also be removed from the watch, btw.

I definitely haven't removed it from the watch or the iPhone. I have looked all through all of the complications and shortcuts and I can't find calculator in any of them.

Don’t pay that member Graham Caracas (Post #7) any mind. He/she/they comes in this forum for the sole purpose of trolling the Apple Watch and anyone that owns one. It’s actually pretty creepy how much hatred this person has for an inanimate object and people that chose to wear it.

Are you sure you have me in mind?
I posted the way to set this up in Apple Watch app on iPhone.

Edit:
I was wrong it was:
Apple Watch app > Dock
And there you switch “Dock ordering” (had to switch language)

Then you click on apps to add them to ordered list (first on top) and can click edit to modify order / remove app from list

Oops, apologies. Not you at all. Was talking about Graham Caracas Post #7. That person has a serious unhealthy disdain for the Apple Watch and it’s owners.

Thank you, I'm not sure exactly what steps I took to get it to work but I now have calculator on my watch face. :)

Hey... thanks for the tip! :) No, seriously, I didn't know the Watch Calculator app did that. Good to know!

Yeah you sure can, but after I've had 4 cocktails I'd rather not rely on moving decimals around in my head on a $144.37 tab.

I kinda like using "doo-dads" on my "toy box"

Yes I've noticed this and it's amazing the hatred and Apple Watch stalking they do.
