Description:

Explore everything your Apple Watch can do in watchOS 11!
Version 7.0, updated October 15, 2026
Apple Watch has become the world's best-selling watch, as well as the most popular wearable digital device. Since the device's introduction in 2015, Apple has developed numerous new watch product lines, vastly expanded the device's capabilities, and enabled developers to create entirely new apps and tools. Your Apple Watch hides an enormous amount of technical complexity behind that unassuming touch screen, and with help from author Jeff Carlson, you'll unlock every last bit of its power.
This book covers all Apple Watch models through Series 11 and Apple Watch Ultra 3, as well as all the new features introduced in watchOS 26. Jeff walks you through getting to know your Apple Watch (including how to pick one out if you haven't already), along with topics that teach you how to navigate among the watch's screens with the physical controls, taps on the screen, and Siri. You'll also find advice on customizing watch faces and sharing them with others; taking advantage of the electrocardiogram (ECG) capability blood oxygen sensor, and temperature sensor (on supported models); getting the notifications you want; handling text and voice communications; using Apple's core apps; and monitoring your heart rate, hearing, and monthly cycle to improve your overall health.
This edition of the book covers all Apple Watch models that can run watchOS 27 (namely, the Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 3 or later, including the Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4). Owners of this edition can also download the previous edition, which covered watchOS 26 and a wider range of models, for free.
