1. Shopping list on Apple Watch

Do you always make a shopping list on your iPhone? And do you also fiddle with your iPhone and at the same time hold your shopping cart when you get the groceries? Then simply use your Apple Watch to complete your list.

• Create your shopping list in the Reminders app on your iPhone;
• Open the Reminders app on your Apple Watch;
• Tap ‘All’ and open the list you just created.

Now you only have to look at what you need on your Apple Watch and you can check off the groceries when you have placed them in your shopping cart.

2. Adjust daily goal (always fill your rings)

Are you one of those people who always want to fill the rings of your activity app at all costs? Or do you think the daily goal is actually too high (or too low)? Then the tip of these Apple Watch hacks is for you.

Open the activation app on your Apple Watch to see the daily rings. Then scroll all the way to the bottom and tap Change Goals. You can then adjust your motion target, training target, and standing target to your liking. Set your goals a little lower and you’ll be sure to always get them full. Whether it’s better for your condition, we’ll leave it up to you for a moment…

3. Don’t be disturbed: turn on Theater Mode

Do you like going to the cinema? Or do you find it annoying that the screen on your Apple Watch lights up when you are in bed? Then put your Apple watch in ‘Theatre mode’.

The button will turn orange and a small icon will appear above the watch face. To turn Theater Mode off again, repeat the steps one more time.
