How to Change Military Time on Apple Watch
If you’ve recently acquired an Apple Watch and noticed that the time is displayed in military format, you might be wondering how to change it to standard 12-hour time. The good news is that it’s a straightforward process and can be done in just a few simple steps. Here’s a guide on how to change military time on your Apple Watch.
First, ensure that your Apple Watch is paired with your iPhone and that both devices have the latest version of iOS and watchOS installed. Once you’ve confirmed this, follow these steps:
1. Open the “Watch” app on your iPhone. This app is used to manage settings and preferences for your Apple Watch.
2. Once the “Watch” app is open, tap on “My Watch” at the bottom of the screen. This will take you to the main settings menu for your Apple Watch.
3. Scroll down and tap on “Time.” This section contains all the settings related to time and date on your Apple Watch.
4. In the “Time” section, you’ll see an option for “Time Format.” Tap on this option to change the format of the time displayed on your Apple Watch.
5. You will now see two options: “12-Hour” and “24-Hour.” To change the time to standard 12-hour format, tap on “12-Hour.”
6. Your Apple Watch will now update the time format to 12-hour, and the time will be displayed with AM/PM indicators.
If you ever want to revert back to military time, simply follow the same steps and tap on “24-Hour” instead.
It’s important to note that changing the time format on your Apple Watch will not affect the time displayed on your iPhone. The time format is a setting specific to your Apple Watch.
By following these simple steps, you can easily change military time on your Apple Watch to standard 12-hour time. This can be particularly useful if you’re more accustomed to reading time in the traditional format or if you prefer having a more intuitive display of the time.
