Glances. Just the right amount of information, right when you want it

lances are scannable summaries of the information you seek out most frequently. To access them, simply swipe up from your watch face. You’ll instantly be able to do things like see what’s next on your calendar or find your location on a map. Tap any Glance to open its corresponding app.

Innovation in every interaction.

Apple Watch is unlike any device we’ve ever made. But we wanted interacting with it to be just as easy and intuitive as using your iPhone or working on a Mac. So we invented all-new ways to select, navigate, and input that are ideally suited to a smaller device worn on the wrist. The result is an experience that’s both unique to Apple Watch and quintessentially Apple.

Digital Crown. A modern twist on a traditional feature.

On mechanical watches, the crown has historically been used to set the time and wind the mainspring. We reimagined it as a versatile tool that answers the fundamental challenge of how to navigate on a small display. You can turn the Digital Crown to zoom in and out of photos, scroll through lists, and make selections, all without obstructing your view. With Time Travel, turning the Digital Crown lets you scroll through your complications to see what’s happening — or what’s already happened — yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Pressing it returns you to the present time.

Force Touch. Sensitive enough to tell a tap from a press.

In addition to recognizing touch, Apple Watch senses force, adding a new dimension to the user interface. With Force Touch, pressing firmly on the display brings up additional controls in apps such as Messages, Music, and Calendar. It also lets you do things like select different watch faces, pause or end a workout, and search for an address in Maps.

Taptic Engine. Technology with a more human touch.

This linear actuator inside Apple Watch taps you on the wrist when you receive a notification, press down on the display, or use Digital Touch. The Taptic Engine gives different kinds of notifications and actions their own distinct character. So even with the accompanying audio cues turned off, you can feel the difference between an alarm and an incoming phone call without even looking.
