Always on display can be turned off if you choose to.

If you are not a fan of the always on display, it can be disabled if you choose to.

To turn on or off the Always On Display;

  • Go to Settings on the watch
  • Select Display and Brightness
  • Tap "Always on feature" on or off


You can move the clock ahead of time up to 59 minutes forward.

Let's face it, some of us run behind and usually arrive late to places. I fully own this title. In assistance of arriving on time, I set my watch ahead by a few minutes.

To turn on this feature;

  • go to Settings
  • Select Clock
  • +0 min (Using the crown to increase or decrease the time moved forward)


You can adjust your quick replies.

Using the messaging app on the watch can be very beneficial to deliver a quick message. I have multiple"quick messages" I use when I can not access my phone.

To edit the message options;

  • Visit the Apple Watch Application on your iPhone
  • Scroll down to the messages app
  • Select Default Replies
  • Scroll down and select "add reply"
  • type out your message and save!


Having your apps appear as List view instead of Grid View.

I like to have my apps organized, which in grid mode was quite the accomplishment. instead of having the app icons only show in Grid View, List view lists the apps an organizes them by alphabetical order.

To apply this feature;

  • Press the digital crown
  • Force touch (gently applying pressure to the watch face in one spot)
  • Select List Mode or Grid Mode


You can quickly send your location using your Apple Watch.

To quickly send your location to a friend or family member is very easy using the Apple Watch.

To use this feature;

  • Go to messages on the Apple Watch
  • Select the contact you wish to send your location to
  • Force touch (gently applying pressure to the watch face in one spot)
  • Select "Send Location"


Those are my five favorite features/Tips and Tricks for the Apple Watch Series 5! Please feel free to comment your favorite features below!


Cheers,
