The Apple Watch is a powerful device that lets you stay connected, track your fitness goals, and even pay for purchases right from your wrist. But one of the best things about it? The ability to customize it and make it truly your own. Here are our favorite ways to do just that.
1. Change Your Watch Face
One of the easiest ways to customize your Apple Watch is by changing your watch face. Apple offers a wide range of watch faces, each with its own unique design and features. You can also download third-party watch faces with some seriously creative designs. Once you find a face that suits you, many allow you to further customize the complications — those small widgets that display information like the weather, activity rings, or calendar events.
2. Customize Your Complications
Complications are small widgets that can be added to many watch faces. There are many types available, and you can customize them to display the information most important to you. To edit a complication, press and hold on the watch face, tap Edit, then add or remove complications and adjust their size and position.
3. Add and Organize Apps
Arguably the best way to customize your Apple Watch is to download your favorite apps and remove any you don't use. There are apps for everything — news, productivity, games, and much more. Once you have your ideal selection, you can rearrange them on the grid in whatever configuration you like.
4. Adjust Your Notifications
Your Apple Watch can receive notifications for calls, texts, emails, and much more. Customize which apps send you notifications and how they're displayed — making your watch more useful and less distracting throughout the day.
5. Change Your Watch Band
There's no better way — in our completely unbiased opinion 😉 — to make your Apple Watch uniquely yours than by swapping out the band for a different color or style. A fresh band instantly transforms the look and feel of your watch.
