new tip for Apple Watch users.
Taking screenshots on Apple
Watch is possible, but it has to
be enabled first.

screenshots toggle, then
enable it.
3. Now just press the side
button and Digital Crown
simultaneously to take a
screenshot.

app selection screen may look
cool, it's not always practical.
1. When looking for apps,
simply Force Touch the display.
2. Choose "List View" to
sort apps in an alphabetical
ordered list.
3. To switch back, force touch
again and choose "Grid View."
3. Soft Reset
If your watch is acting funny,
you can always try a soft reset
similar to your iPhone or iPad.
1. Simply press and hold the
Digital Crown and side button
simultaneously until the screen
goes black.
2. A few seconds later you
should see the Apple Logo.
3. When the watch comes
back on, just enter your
passcode and you're good
to go.
4. Theater Mode
If you're in a dark theater or
meeting room — and you
don't want your watch lighting
up when you move your
wrist — simply enable theater
mode.
