Going to Europe? How do I change the time on my Apple Watch?

Going to Europe. How do I change the time on my Apple Watch? I can't seem to find any instructions on the watch or site. Also, how do you add cities to your clock? That doesn't seem so obvious either. Thanks to all.

Hi


On your iPhone, in the Clock app > World Clock > Tap Edit to add / remove (eg delete Gustavia) / reorder locations on your list, then tap Done.

- Add any other city that you would like to be able to show the time for in the World Clock app and/or on your watch face.


When customising the watch face on your Apple Watch (via firm press on watch face > tap Customize):

- Swipe left until you can select individual face features > Tap the one you’d like to use for a world clock > Turn the Digital Crown to choose a city (it offers each location that you set up on your iPhone) > When you’re finished, press the Digital Crown.


The World Clock complication is available on these watch faces: Chronograph, Color, Mickey Mouse, Modular, Simple, and Utility (and you can add more than one on some of them).

You don't it will happen automatically as soon as the gps on your phone realizes it's new position in the world it will only 2 or 3 minutes for it to realize that and your watch and phone will be updated to local time. It worked flawlessly on a trip from Auckland to Copenhagen via Singapore and Dubai. It will work for you as well.

It may not work as blidd describes (some other users have reported that their watch has not updated automatically).


Should you find that this is the case, with your iPhone and watch connected, a restart of your watch should resolve the issue.
