Access Your Notifications With the Digital Crown
A small change that came with watchOS 11 is how you access the Notification Center on your Apple Watch.
Before, you needed to swipe down from the top of the screen to see your notifications. While that was already pretty quick, Apple made it quicker.
With watchOS 11, all you need to do is scroll down with your Digital Crown, and your Apple Watch will immediately open the Notification Center. And in case you’re wondering, scrolling up with the Digital Crown will open up the Smart Stack, which was already a thing before watchOS 11.
