Manage Notifications
Of the Apple Watch’s many features, I take advantage of notifications the most. When a text message, Twitter reply, bank card alert, or other notification arrives, it appears on my watch; in fact, my iPhone, asleep in my pocket, doesn’t chime or vibrate. (Conversely, if you’re actively using the iPhone, notifications don’t appear on the watch.) This is the heart of the watch’s interaction: you can quickly, and discreetly if needed, check a notification on your wrist without pulling out the iPhone.
Act on a Notification
When a notification arrives, the watch taps your wrist and the notification appears (Figure 49).
