Q: What do the top center symbols on my Watch mean?
I notice different icons or symbols on my Apple Watch at different times during the day. I'm in chronograph watch face. Does anyone know what these mean? One looks like a blue lock symbol. Another is a red cylinder with a wavy line through it. another is a solid red circle Seems like they change when my phone is near the watch.
Thanks,
lou

Hi Lou
You can find out about the various Apple Watch status icons here:

Disconnected (red phone with a line through it) appears when your Apple Watch loses its connection with your iPhone. Bringing the two back within range of each other will enable them to automatically reconnect.
The Lock symbol (blue padlock) appears when the Apple Watch is locked. If you have Wrist Detection enabled, this can happen during the day if you are wearing your watch sufficiently loosely that the back comes away from your wrist (as if you had removed it).
The solid red circle means that you have Notifications pending - swipe down from the top of your watch face to view them.
