    Hi Warren

     

    Zoom (an accessibility feature) has been activated on your watch.

     

    To return the screen contents to normal size, double-tap on the display with two fingers.

     

    Afterwards, if you would prefer to disable Zoom:

    • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Accessibility > Zoom - turn off.
    • Or on your watch, go to: Home screen (via a single press of the Digital Crown) > Settings (cog icon) > General > Accessibility > Zoom - tap and turn off / on.

     

    If the Accessibility Shortcut has been enabled and configured for Zoom, you can also enable and disable the feature more conveniently:

    • On your watch: quickly press the Digital Crown three times.

     

    To configure the Accessibility Shortcut:

    • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (at the bottom) > select / deselect Zoom.
