After pairing Bluetooth devices, you can switch from one device to another. When you no longer need to use a particular Bluetooth device, you can tell Apple Watch to forget it.

Configure Sounds and Haptics

Apple Watch uses sounds and haptics to communicate wordlessly with you. Sounds are audio alerts destined for your ears, whereas haptics are vibration alerts targeted at your wrist and arm.

Working either on Apple Watch itself or in the Apple Watch app on iPhone, you can configure the alert volume, adjust the haptic strength, and turn Prominent Haptic on or off. Using iPhone, you can enable or disable the Cover to Mute feature.
