How to Track Your Kraken Portfolio on Apple Watch

Check crypto on Apple Watch in seconds. This guide shows how to track your Kraken portfolio, add a Kraken watch complication, and read prices at a glance.


Want your crypto on Apple Watch without pulling out your phone? Widgets for Kraken puts your Kraken portfolio right on your wrist. It shows live prices, your total balance, and 24-hour and all-time profit and loss, and it adds a Kraken watch complication to any watch face so you can check crypto on Apple Watch at a single glance.

Widgets for Kraken is an independent, third-party companion app, not affiliated with Kraken. You connect your own Kraken account read-only over OAuth, so the app can display your balances, prices, P&L, watchlist, orders, charts, and news, but it can never trade, deposit, or withdraw. Your data stays on-device and syncs only through your own iCloud.

What you get on the wrist

The Apple Watch experience comes in two parts, the full watch app and the complications, which together make checking crypto a one-second habit.

  • Complications for every watch face, so your portfolio total or a coin's price sits on the face you already use.
  • Live prices for the coins you follow, pulled from your read-only Kraken connection.
  • Your portfolio total at a glance, plus 24-hour and all-time P&L so you instantly see if you are up or down.
  • A personal watchlist and individual coin views for the assets that matter most, syncing on-device via your iCloud.

Installing the app on Apple Watch

Widgets for Kraken installs on the watch through your iPhone, so there is no separate purchase. Get the iPhone app and sign in to Kraken read-only, then make sure the watch app is on your wrist before adding a complication.

  • Install Widgets for Kraken from the App Store on your iPhone. With automatic app install on, it appears on your paired Apple Watch within a minute or two.
  • If it does not appear, open the Watch app on iPhone, scroll to Available Apps, and tap Install next to Widgets for Kraken.
  • Open Widgets for Kraken on iPhone and sign in to Kraken with read-only OAuth so your balances and prices sync to the watch.

Adding a Kraken watch complication step by step

Add the Kraken complication to a watch face

  1. 1
    Wake your watch face

    Raise your wrist or tap the screen so the face you want to edit is showing.

  2. 2
    Press and hold, then tap Edit

    Touch and hold the face until it zooms out, then tap Edit to open the customization screen.

  3. 3
    Swipe to Complications

    Swipe right to left to the Complications screen, where each available slot is highlighted.

  4. 4
    Tap a complication slot

    Tap the slot you want, such as a corner or the center, to open the list of apps that can fill it.

  5. 5
    Pick Widgets for Kraken

    Turn the Digital Crown to scroll to Widgets for Kraken, then tap it to assign it to that slot.

  6. 6
    Choose what it shows

    If the slot offers options, pick what to display, such as your portfolio total or a coin's price.

  7. 7
    Set it as your current face

    Press the Digital Crown to save, then tap the face to set it as current. Your Kraken data now shows on your wrist.

Which complication style suits prices vs portfolio

Different watch faces offer different complication shapes, and some fit crypto tracking better than others. As a rule, give your portfolio total a roomy slot and reserve smaller slots for a single coin's price.

  • For your portfolio total and P&L, use a large rectangular or graphic slot (like those on the Modular or Infograph faces) so the number and the up or down change are easy to read.
  • For a single coin's price, a small corner or circular slot works well and keeps the face uncluttered.
  • If you mostly watch one asset, put its price in a corner and keep your portfolio total in the center.
  • Faces with more slots, like Infograph, can show your total plus two or three coins at once.

Glanceable tracking, battery, and refresh

The point of crypto on Apple Watch is a quick glance, not constant staring. Complications update in the background on Apple's schedule to protect battery, so the figure is recent rather than tick-by-tick live. Tap the complication to open the app for the latest prices, and tracking your Kraken portfolio stays light on battery.

Can Widgets for Kraken trade or move my crypto from the watch?

No. The connection to Kraken is strictly read-only. Widgets for Kraken can show balances, prices, P&L, your watchlist, orders, charts, and news, but it can never trade, deposit, or withdraw. Nothing on the watch can move funds.

Do I need my iPhone nearby to see prices on the watch?

The watch caches your latest data and syncs through your own iCloud, so recent figures show even when your iPhone is away. For a live refresh, the watch needs its own internet connection or a nearby paired iPhone.

Why does my complication not update every second?

To save battery, watchOS refreshes complications in the background on its own schedule rather than continuously. Tap the complication to open Widgets for Kraken whenever you want the most current prices and P&L.

Is Widgets for Kraken the official Kraken app?

No. Widgets for Kraken is an independent, third-party companion, not affiliated with Kraken. You link your own account with read-only OAuth, and your data stays on-device, syncing via your iCloud.

Ready to keep your crypto on your wrist? Install Widgets for Kraken on your iPhone, connect your Kraken account read-only, and add a complication to your favorite watch face. Start with a free trial, then choose a subscription or the lifetime option, and check your Kraken portfolio anytime with a glance.
