Use the Smart Stack
Apple went widget-crazy last year, which is great for quickly accessing apps, shortcuts, or information at a glance. I have to admit, I wasn’t crazy about the new so-called Smart Stack feature.
But in watchOS 11, the Smart Stack has become one of my favorite features, because it now lives up to its name. It’s more intelligent about showing widgets and information that are relevant. When I want to avoid clutter and wear a minimal watch face with no complications, I bring up the Smart Stack and it usually gives me what I’m looking for.
From the watch face, turn the Digital Crown clockwise or swipe up from the bottom of the screen. As you turn the dial or continue to swipe, more widgets in the stack appear (Figure 29).
