If your iPhone is set up to use more than one language, you can choose which one appears on your Apple Watch. And if you’d like to move your Apple Watch to your other wrist, or you’d rather have the Digital Crown on the other side, your orientation settings make the Digital Crown move things in the direction you expect.
Choose the language or region
With your iPhone set up to use more than one language, you can pick which one appears on your Apple Watch.
- Start the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
- Tap My Watch and tap General.
- Tap Language & Region, then tap Custom.
-
Choose a language on your iPhone or tap Add Language to choose a different one.
For languages that use grammatical gender, you can choose your term of address to specify how you would like to be addressed throughout the system (feminine, masculine, or neutral).
Switch wrists or Digital Crown orientation
When you move your Apple Watch to your other wrist or want the Digital Crown on the other side, adjust your orientation settings. That way, your Apple Watch wakes when you raise your wrist, and the Digital Crown moves things in the direction you expect when you turn it.
- Start the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
- Tap General, then tap Orientation.
You can also adjust the orientation settings on your iPhone—go to the Apple Watch app, tap My Watch, tap General, then tap Watch Orientation.
