Trim notifications in the Watch app so only the most important alerts come through, and use Silent mode to quiet interruptions. Master wrist gestures like Double Tap and Wrist Flick (Series 9/Ultra 2/SE 3+) to answer calls, stop a timer, or go back a screen.

Finally, customize your watch face with complications for timers, shortcuts, and weather-placing quick actions within reach. These tweaks turn the Apple Watch from a notification mirror into a portable productivity tool.
