How to change orientation on Apple Watch and Apple Watch Ultra

Is your Apple Watch upside down? Here is how to flip and change the orientation on your Apple Watch and Apple Watch Ultra.

This will come in handy if you wish to change which wrist you wear the watch, or if you want to switch up the direction the Digital Crown faces.

To change the Apple Watch orientation:

  • Go to the App Menu;
  • Select Settings;
  • Scroll down, select General;
  • Select Orientation.

From here, choose the wrist on which you’ll be wearing your Apple Watch. Also, select on which side you’ll have the Digital Crown.

You can also make this orientation change on your iPhone under the Apple Watch app.

  • Select your watch under My Watch;
  • Scroll down, select General;
  • Select Watch Orientation.
