Type the city name (Apple Watch Series 7 and Apple Watch Series 8 only), or use Scribble or dictation to enter the city name.
To use Scribble, swipe up from the bottom of the screen, then tap Scribble.
Note: Scribble is not available in all languages.

Check the time in another city
Open the World Clock app
on your Apple Watch.
Turn the Digital Crown or swipe the screen to scroll the list.

While you’re viewing info about a city, you can scroll to see the previous or next city in your list.
When youʼre finished, tap < in the top-left corner, or swipe right to return to the city list.
If there’s a city whose time you’d always like to see, you can add a World Clock complication to your watch face and choose the city to display.
