Feature Request: Multiple rotating data fields within one complication

I really like the simple and clean design of Suunto watch faces.

However, there are times when I would like to see more information without making the watch face look cluttered or turning it into a data-heavy display.

I would therefore like to suggest a feature where multiple data fields could be assigned to a single complication and automatically rotated at a user-defined interval.

For example:

Date → Sunrise → Sunset
Barometric pressure → Altitude
Steps → Ascent → Calories

The user could select 2–3 pieces of information for one location on the watch face, and the information could automatically change every few seconds.

For example:

Date
↓ after 5 seconds
Sunrise 05:18
↓ after 5 seconds
Sunset 18:03

This would allow users to see significantly more information while keeping the watch face itself simple and uncluttered.

I think this approach fits Suunto particularly well. I don’t want a watch face filled with many tiny data fields. I would rather have a clean, minimal watch face where the same space is intelligently shared by several pieces of information over time.

Ideally, users could choose:

Which 2–3 data fields are included
Rotation interval (e.g. 3 / 5 / 10 seconds)
Optional manual switching by tapping

I believe this could provide more flexibility while preserving the minimalist design that makes Suunto watch faces attractive.

Please consider adding this functionality in a future update.

My view:

Data in complications is there to see in a glance.

In your approach, that’s not possible anymore. I might have to wait 3 seconds before the data that I would like to see in a glance is displayed. If I have to wait 3 seconds, I can do it faster by scrolling down to the widget with that info.
