Having trouble reading some of the text on your Apple Watch? You aren’t alone. While the screen itself is fairly crisp and bright, it’s simply a small screen, and the text needs to be fairly small, too, if it’s going to display more than a couple of letters.
But if you find that the Apple Watch text is too small, then it is something that you can change from the Watch app on your iPhone. Our guide below will show you where to find this menu and adjust the text size setting.
