The Apple Watch Series 2 and later is water resistant and offers swimming workouts. Once a swimming workout begins, the Apple Watch automatically locks the screen. Apple calls this Water Lock, which prevents accidental taps on the screen.
Apple Watch owners may have noticed a red dot at the top of the watch face. The dot appears to let you know there are unread notifications waiting.
The red dot can be hidden temporarily or switched off completely. To clear unread notifications, swipe down on the red dot and tap Clear All.

Apple Watch has so many customizations and adjustments it can be hard to keep track of it all. After setting up a new Apple Watch or pairing the watch with a new iPhone, the volume may default at the maximum level. Every alert and Siri prompt can be quite loud coming from your wrist. Turns out there's more than one way to adjust the volume on Apple Watch.

By the end of the month, several Apple devices are set to join the official vintage products list. Vintage products have been off the market for at least five years but no more than seven, and it may be difficult to receive repairs due to parts availability. Products seven years or older are considered obsolete, which means they are no longer serviced by Apple or any Apple Authorized Service Providers.
