Tell time on Apple Watch

There are several ways to tell time with your Apple Watch.

Raise your wrist: The time appears on the watch face, in the clock in grid view, and in the top-right corner of most apps.
Hear the time: Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch, tap Clock, then turn on Speak Time. Hold two fingers on the watch face to hear the time.
Apple Watch can also play chimes on the hour. In the Settings app on Apple Watch, tap Clock, then turn on Chimes. Tap Sounds to choose Bells or Birds.
Feel the time: To feel the time tapped out on your wrist when Apple Watch is in silent mode, open the Settings app on your Apple Watch, tap Clock, tap Taptic Time, turn on Taptic Time, then choose an option. See Use Taptic Time.
Note: If Taptic Time is disabled, Apple Watch might be set to always speak the time. To be able to use Taptic Time, first go to Settings > Clock, then turn on Control With Silent Mode under Speak Time.
Use Siri: Raise your wrist and say “What time is it?”
