Apps Complication vs dock

[rxd]

If an app has a complication that I use on my watch face is there any advantage to having it also in the dock? Does the complication keep the app in memory like being in the dock does? Or am I simply wasting a dock space?

Complication is an extra dock slot so to speak, so don't use up 1 of the 10 dock slots if it's already a complication...

oh!
I didn't know that. I'll try it out today.

Just remember if you reboot your Watch, apps may load slowly the fist time whether they are in the dock or a compilation. From then on they are kept in memory .

If you have multiple Watch faces, are the complications on faces you aren't currently viewing also kept updated?

I've found that the same complication on different faces takes a couple of seconds to update after swiping to it.

I have found the any location based complication takes forever to update even if it's on the current Watch face.
