On your watch while viewing your workout in progress, swipe left and you will have your audio controls.

Then it is a simple matter of turning the digital crown up or down.

Hey there, strudelady.


It appears you are wanting to increase the volume of one of your devices. We want to make sure we understand what's going on. Are you using an iPod touch or headphones with your outdoor walk, like EarPods (wired headphones) or AirPods (wireless headphones)? Also, are you doing a normal outdoor walk exercise with the Apple Watch or with Time to Walk which is a workout available in Fitness+? Your answers will help us understand what is going on, along with determining possible next steps.


If you are using EarPods, you can press the + on the Remote to increase the volume. If you are using AirPods, please check out the information below from this article: Connect and use your AirPods and AirPods Pro


"Control audio with your AirPods Pro

  • To play and pause your audio content, press the force sensor on the stem of an AirPod. To resume playback, press again.
  • To skip forward, double-press the force sensor on the stem of an AirPod.
  • To skip back, triple-press the force sensor.
  • To change the volume, say "Hey, Siri," then say something like "Turn down the volume." Or drag the volume slider in the app you're listening to, on the Lock screen, or in Control Center. You can also open Now Playing on your Apple Watch and turn the Digital Crown to adjust volume.


Use Siri

  • With AirPods Pro and AirPods (2nd generation), you can say "Hey Siri."
  • With AirPods Pro, you can set an AirPod to use Siri when you touch and hold the force sensor.
  • With AirPods (1st and 2nd generation), you can double-tap to use Siri.


You can use Siri with your AirPods to ask questions and make phone calls. Siri can also control your music and check on your AirPods. Here are some examples of Siri requests:

  • "Play my Favorites playlist."
  • "Turn up the volume."
  • "How do I get home from here?"
  • "Skip to the next song."
  • "Pause music."
  • "How is the battery on my AirPods?"
  • Find more Siri examples."


Let us know as many details as possible if we've misunderstood your issue, that way we can do our best to understand. Take care!
