With IOS 16 now in wide use, I wonder what widgets you’re all using to make your home and lock screens more useful and of course more original?

Any you can recommend? Any you think should be avoided?
 
I don’t have that many suggestions, I only have widget spacer on top and next to battery for my Watch, to get it aligned to the right.
I find most widgets annoying in that sense that information seems to always need to be visible, even if for example I don’t have anything planned in calendar. I wish the widgets could be more dynamic and show if needed.

None. iOS Springboard widgets in iOS 16 are no more useful than when they were introduced in iOS 14.
 
Battery only for AW, AirPods Pro 1 Gen Case and same AirPods.

Used to use weather widgets but found they cause huge battery drain. If only Apple allowed widgets to show current status for set places not based on location services…
 
The AOD makes widgets useful for me. Weather, Rings, and next up calendar event
 
None. My watch shows any relevant info, and my phone is always face down when it's not in my pocket.
