watchOS 26 User Guide

If your Apple Watch feels powerful but a little overwhelming, you’re not alone. Most people know it can help them stay on track, move more, and handle life faster, but in real life they end up tapping around, missing useful settings, and settling for “good enough.”

Maybe notifications feel messy, your watch face isn’t as helpful as you hoped, workouts don’t show what you actually need, or you’re not sure what’s worth turning on or turning off in watchOS 26.
