Set up Handwashing on Apple Watch Ultra
Your Apple Watch Ultra can detect when you start washing and encourage you to keep going for 20 seconds, the time recommended by global health organizations. Your Apple Watch Ultra can also notify you if you haven’t washed your hands within a few minutes of returning home.
Turn on Handwashing
Open the Settings app
on your Apple Watch Ultra.
Tap Handwashing, then turn on Handwashing Timer.
When Apple Watch Ultra detects that you’ve started washing your hands, it starts a 20-second timer. If you stop washing in fewer than 20 seconds, you’re encouraged to finish the job.
