Watch mode is for keeping an eye on your dashboard with your device on a desk or stand. The screen stays on, and the title bar and bottom navigation are hidden so only your widgets show.
To start: tap the button in the top-right corner of your dashboard, then tap Watch.
To exit: tap an empty area of the screen, then tap Exit watch in the top-right corner. You can also press Back on Android and HarmonyOS, or Esc on Mac and Windows. Leaving the dashboard also ends watch mode.
You can still swipe between dashboards in watch mode. Touch and hold a widget to Update it, or to set Keep screen on to 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or Always (the default). When the time is up, watch mode ends by itself.
