Questions about General/Wake Screen...

[The_Prodigy1982]

Wake screen on wrist raise sounds pretty logical... but what is meant by 'wake screen on crown up' and 'auto-launch audio apps'??

Wake screen on crown up, is when you rotate the digital crown which will slowly wake the screen up.

Auto-launch audio apps is when you play audio apps on your iPhone, and it’ll show the Now Playing on your Watch.

The idea behind Wake Screen on Crown Up is to use the crown to wake the Watch instead of raising your wrist. While doing so, turning the crown slowly increases the brightness slowly so that in dimly lit surroundings, you don't annoy others. When you've turned the Watch to a (hopefully unobtrusive) satisfactory level you can then raise the Watch while retaining the dim watch face so you can better read it, if need be.

This gives you an option to the Theater mode where it's a tap on the Watch face to see what's what but at full brightness.

One of the great things about wake screen on crown up is that you can turn the crown just enough to see the watch face and then turn it the other way to turn the screen off again rather than waiting for it to timeout, like when you raise to wake or tap to wake.
