10 helpful Apple Watch tips you should know

Kudos to Apple Support for its recent run of “How To” videos. This video is full of useful information, perfect for folks relatively new to Apple Watch.

But even if you are a seasoned Apple Watch veteran, give it a look, if only for the run through of all the various features that you might have forgotten how to access, or whose mechanics might have changed/expanded in the last few releases.

One tiny thing I found interesting is at 18 seconds in. If you press the bottom of the Apple Watch, preparing to drag up to bring up Control Center, a translucent shutter pops into view (the top of Control Center). I am so used to pressing and dragging up in a single motion, I had never noticed that particular animation before. A mild detail, but I appreciate the value of having it pop up, perfect for accidental discovery.
