Whether you’ve just unboxed it or you're already strapping it on daily, here’s your ultimate guide to unlocking its most powerful features.

💡 Double Pinch – Smart Gesture Control

Answering calls, starting a timer, or silencing an alarm? Just double pinch your fingers! This intuitive gesture works across apps and lets you interact with the watch without even touching the screen. If it’s not working, head to:

Settings > Buttons & Gestures > Double Pinch and toggle it on.

✊ Knock Knock Gesture

Want instant access to your favorite app like the camera controller? Use the Knock Knock gesture. Assign it to any app under:

Settings > Buttons & Gestures > Knock Knock.

Snap photos with just a knock and double-pinch combo!

👋 Shake to Dismiss

Say goodbye to annoying alarms or calls—just shake your wrist to dismiss them! Activate it under:

Settings > Buttons & Gestures > Shake to Dismiss.

It’s like magic — and incredibly handy.

🏃 Quick Button – Exercise on Demand

A new dedicated Quick Button launches straight into your chosen workout — be it running, cycling, or the Running Coach mode that teaches you to run smarter.

Customize it via:

Settings > Buttons & Gestures > Quick Button Settings

You can also set it to launch a flashlight, timer, or more.

📢 Siren – Built-In Emergency Signal

Hold down the Quick Button for five seconds to activate a safety siren. It’s loud — and that’s the point. Lost in the woods? This feature can literally save your life.

📇 Profile Cards – Caller ID Made Stylish

Personalize your contacts with a custom profile card—add photos, change fonts and colors. When they call, their stylish card pops up on your wrist so you know exactly who's calling, at a glance.

💬 Suggested Replies – Smart Messaging

Replying to messages on a watch just got easier. The Ultra uses smart suggested replies based on your conversations. Just tap to respond — no typing necessary.

🔁 New App Switcher

Multitask like a pro. Open multiple apps, and tap the new quick app switcher to jump between them seamlessly. It’s fast, fluid, and totally Ultra.

⚡ Hard Swipe – Faster Widget Navigation

Swipe hard across widgets to scroll through multiple at once. It’s an underrated trick, but makes a world of difference in day-to-day use.

🌙 Night Mode – Automatic Eye Comfort

The Ultra Analog and Simple Ultra watch faces include a new Night Mode. When it’s dark, the watch face automatically shifts to a low-light version to reduce eye strain.

Enable it via:

Watch Face > Customize > Night Mode

🛠 Must-Have Complications

Supercharge your watch face by adding:

Battery Percentage

Energy Score – a unique feature showing your body’s energy level based on sleep, heart rate, and more.

⌚ Ticking Sound – Analog Vibes

Love classic watches? Turn on the Ticking Sound from:

Settings > Sound & Vibration > System Sounds > Ticking

Now your Ultra ticks like a traditional watch.

🔍 Find My Watch / Phone

Lose your watch or phone? No worries.

From your phone, use the Find App to ring the watch.

From your watch, swipe down and tap the phone icon to ring your phone.

Pro Tip: Turn on Left Behind Alert so your watch notifies you when you leave your phone behind.

🧭 Track Back – Built-In Breadcrumb Trail

Out for a hike? Lost? Use the Track Back feature during an exercise and it’ll guide you back to your starting point — GPS-style.

🏊 Multisport Mode – Custom Workouts

Combine multiple exercises into one custom workout session. Add modes like running, cycling, and swimming, and the watch auto-switches between them. Perfect for triathletes or cross-trainers.

🔊 Watch Speaker – Stream Music Loud

Don’t have earbuds? You can stream music directly from your watch via Spotify. Just select the Watch Speaker as your audio output. Great for workouts or chill sessions.

🧬 Energy Score – Know Your Body Battery

Tap the Energy Score complication to see how well you’re recovering. It factors in:

Sleep quality

Heart rate

Resting time

It’s like having a health coach on your wrist.

🧍 Body Composition – Know Your Metrics

Want to measure body fat, muscle mass, or water? Slide the watch slightly up your wrist, place your middle and ring fingers on the buttons, and let it measure away. While not 100% accurate, it's a great baseline.

🧠 Google Assistant – Your Voice, Smarter

Want Google Assistant instead of Bixby?

Go to Play Store > Manage Apps > Assistant

Update it if needed

Head to Settings > Buttons & Gestures > Press and Hold Action

Select Google Assistant
