You can also set the strength of the haptics, which is how hard the watch taps you when you get an alert. That’s where you set how loudly your Watch beeps when you get a notification (suggestion: don’t let it beep at all). We would recommend at least looking at Sounds & Haptics. There are a ton of settings! Just spend some time navigating around to see if there’s anything you’d like to change, but for most of these you can probably live with the defaults. The settings are split into a few sections, with general stuff at the top and app-by-app settings underneath. You can adjust some of them on the Watch itself in its settings app, but it’s faster and easier to just do most of this on your iPhone - the settings sync over quickly. Like your iPhone, your Apple Watch has a huge array of settings to go through. This sounds complicated, and it is - at first - but you’ll eventually 'get' the interplay between screen taps, force touches, and rolling the digital crown. For some of the elements (they’re called 'complications') on more-customizable faces, you might need to tap on an option before rolling the crown. We’ve found that using one finger to roll the crown is more comfortable than trying to twist it with two fingers. On each of these screens, you change options by rolling the digital crown. You can then swipe left or right to go to more settings screens. That could be the color, or picking between a jellyfish and a flower, or choosing the scale on the chronograph. The basic interaction goes like this: the main screen lets you change the global settings for the watch face. Now, you’ll see the watch face big, but with an outline and a few of dots at the top. If you’d like to customize it, tap the customize button at the bottom. If you’re happy with it as is, just tap the watch face to choose it. Swipe left and right until you find the watch face you want. You’ll know it’s working when the watch face shrinks. A Force Touch is, as the name implies, pressing harder down on the glass than just tapping. You might need to press more than once, but don’t hold it down (that’s Siri), and don’t press too fast (double-clicking the Crown switches to your last-used app). If you’re not already on the watch face, press the digital crown until you are. But if you want to have your Watch feel better, the truth is you’re really only a little less than halfway done.īut you deserve a break, and we recommend you kick back and mess around with some watch faces.
