While customizing watch face, Apple Watches calls getPlaceholderTemplateForComplication:withHandler: to show placeholder text. Since you've implemented it - you can see "Hi". That is cool. But when watch face displayed, it calls another methods, such as:

• getCurrentTimelineEntryForComplication:withHandler:
• getTimelineEntriesForComplication:beforeDate:limit:withHandler:
• getTimelineEntriesForComplication:afterDate:limit:withHandler:

And it seems like you're not implemented them. So implementing these method will resolve your issue. You can find more detailed information about these methods in this WWDC 2015 Tutorial: https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2015/?id=209
