Unless you’re familiar with the process, a default Apple Watch with right-handed settings could ruin a leftie’s encounter with the smartwatch. Unless you’re paying close attention during the device’s setup, you could easily miss choosing which wrist you hold your watch on. And while switching its orientation may seem admire one of the best Apple Watch secrets, it’s actually a straightforward process.
Here’s how to switch your Apple Watch for easier left-handed use:
- Open the Settings app.
- Go to “General” then “Orientation.”
- Select which wrist you wear your Apple Watch on.
You can also complete this through the Apple Watch app on your iPhone by clicking on “My Watch” and going to “General” settings, then “Watch Orientation.” There’s also an option to select the positioning of your Digital Crown for users who prefer the large circular button to be in the bottom left corner rather than the top right.
