Hello Joanie O,


Are you talking about the passcode? If so, there's no setting like that. You can turn on Wrist Detection. When this is enabled, once you enter the passcode you won't have to re-enter it again as long as the watch stays on your wrist. As soon as the watch is removed from your wrist it will require the passcode again.


Lock or unlock Apple Watch


Cheers!
