Apple Watch is displayed in zoom mode

The Apple Watch has a fairly small screen. Reading text notifications or viewing an image can sometimes be difficult. If you find yourself constantly squinting at the screen of your handheld device, try the built-in zoom feature found in the accessibility settings.

The Zoom feature on Apple Watch gives you a temporary magnified view of whatever is on the screen. You can then swipe with two fingers to move or use the digital crown to move line by line.
