1. From the watch face, press the Digital Crown to show the Home screen.

2. Turn the Digital Crown to scroll to the bottom of the screen, then choose Grid View or List View.

You can also open the Settings app , tap App View, then choose Grid View or List View.

How you open an app depends on which view you choose.

• Grid view: Tap the app icon. Turn the Digital Crown to see more apps.

  

• List view: Turn the Digital Crown, then tap an app.

  

To return to the Home Screen from an app, press the Digital Crown once, then press it again to switch to the watch face.

1. Double-click the Digital Crown, then turn the Digital Crown to scroll through your most recently used apps.

   Note: Apps that are currently running a session—a Maps navigation session or a Workout session, for example—appear at the top of the list of apps.

2. Tap an app to open it.

Double-click the Digital Crown, then turn the Digital Crown to the app you want to remove. Swipe left on the app, then tap X.
