Apple has packed a lot of power into a small case with the Apple Watch. As a result, many users miss some of the best functions that Apple doesn't highlight. I've compiled this handy list of the coolest features that you might not have heard of to help you get the most out of your wearable.
Read Your Watch Screen More Easily
The Apple Watch display ca be a bit small, so if you have a hard time reading information on the screen, you can change the font size. You can find this option by swiping up on your watch face to open the Control Center. Scroll down and tap the Text Size button, which looks like two As. You can turn the Digital Crown to increase or decrease the font size on your Apple Watch.
If you don't see the Text Size button, you might need to add it first. Simply tap Edit, find the button, and press the plus icon to add it to your Control Center.
Fix a Frozen Apple Watch
If your Apple Watch is frozen or acting strangely, you can force it to restart by pressing and holding the Digital Crown and the side button at the same time for about ten seconds until the screen turns black. After a few seconds, you should see the Apple logo, indicating that your Apple Watch is turning back on.
