How to open Apple Watch Ultra?

Published in Apple Watch Basics 2 mins read

Based on the provided reference, "opening" the Apple Watch Ultra refers to waking or unlocking the screen to make it usable. This is different from physically opening the device casing. Therefore, I'll address how to activate and unlock the Apple Watch Ultra screen.

How to Wake and Unlock Your Apple Watch Ultra

Here's how to "open" or activate your Apple Watch Ultra screen:

  1. Raise Your Wrist: The Apple Watch Ultra is designed to go to sleep when you lower your wrist to conserve battery. Raising your wrist is often the first step to wake it.

  2. Tap the Display or Press the Digital Crown:

    • A simple tap on the watch face will usually wake the screen.
    • Alternatively, pressing the Digital Crown (the rotating dial on the side) also activates the display.
  3. Turn the Digital Crown Upward: If your watch is locked (requiring a passcode), turning the Digital Crown upward will unlock it. This method shows the time and unlocks the watch to the Home Screen.

In summary, you don't physically open the Apple Watch Ultra in the sense of disassembling it. Instead, you wake and unlock the screen using gestures and button presses.
