In the previous artcile, we discussed how and why the Apple Watch gets locked Automatically once removed from the wrist. In this article, we will see how to change the orientation of the Apple Watch.

Change Orientation of Apple Watch

What makes a smartwatch more flexible than a traditional watch is the customization. You must always stick to the same design and look like a regular watch. But with a smartwatch, you have all the options to customize it. For example, you can change the watch faces, the display elements on the screen, the color, etc.

So, in terms of customization, the smartwatch is flexible. However, when considering a smartwatch, the premium name is the Apple watch. Though expensive, the accuracy of health and fitness data makes it stand ahead of other smartwatches.

As said about the orientation, the Apple Watch stands ahead of other smartwatches in the place of the Watch orientation; most other smartwatches don’t provide the option of changing the watch orientation, whereas the Apple Watch does. So yes, you can change the Apple Watch orientation depending on your wrist’s placement.
