To set an alarm it is very simple:

• Click on the application Alarms.
• It is one of the ones with the orange icon, and shows a clock with two rings like old alarm clocks.
• Set the alarm at the time you need.
• If you want to do it through Siri, you can do it by saying "Set an alarm that repeats every morning at seven."
• The good thing about all this and what differentiates the loud alarms is that the screen will light up a few minutes before it rings to wake you up gently, we don't want you to stress out.

 Put a call on hold

When someone calls us on our iPhone, the call also vibrates on the Apple Watch, and this will give us some control over it. If you need it, you can also pick up from the watch, but the most interesting thing is that you can put the call on hold pressing the button Go to iPhone. By doing this, you will put the call on hold and send the call to the phone so that the other person knows that you have interacted with the call because they will notice that you put the call on hold.

Use GPS without looking at your phone or watch

You may not even know that the possibility exists, but the Apple Watch has a taptic motor, which with vibrations we can do a wide variety of activities, such as intuiting where we have to turn on a route through vibrations. This engine is also used in the maps app when you are browsing, indicating the turns that we must take through vibrations so that you don't even have to look at the clock to know where we will have to go.

Below we show you how to use it:

• Turn to the left: three two-touch vibrations: tap-tap — tap-tap — tap-tap.
• Turn to the right: twelve taps with a constant rhythm: tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap-tap.
• If you have reached the destination you will have a long vibration.
