Listen for directions
After you head off on your first leg when using driving, cycling, or walking directions, your Apple Watch uses sounds and taps to let you know when to turn. A low tone followed by a high tone (tock tick, tock tick) means turn right at the intersection you’re approaching; a high tone followed by a low tone (tick tock, tick tock) means turn left.
Not sure what your destination looks like? You’ll feel a vibration when you’re on the last leg, and again when you arrive.
