Use the Smart Stack to show timely widgets on Apple Watch Ultra
The Smart Stack is a set of widgets that uses information such as the time, your location, and your activity to automatically display the most relevant widgets at the appropriate time in your day. For example, at the beginning of the day, Weather will show the forecast or, when you’re traveling, the Smart Stack will show boarding passes from Wallet.

Add, remove, and rearrange widgets
The Smart Stack includes a default set of widgets, which you can manually add, remove, and rearrange. Just scroll down from the watch face, touch and hold the Smart Stack, then do any of the following:

Pin and unpin widgets: Tap

on the right side of each widget.
Tap Done when you’re finished editing the Smart Stack.
