A new Apple Watch movement
Wrist Flick promises to let you quickly dismiss notifications with a “flick of the wrist.” Apple
The feature is called “Wrist Flick” and it’s meant to make it easier to manage unruly Apple Watch notifications, which often aren’t that important and/or appear at the most inopportune times. Specifically, you’ll be able to dismiss them with a quick flick of your wrist.
With Wrist Flick, you can quickly dismiss things like app notifications, incoming calls and timers by doing a simple movement — quickly rolling your wrist (and Apple Watch) away from you.
