Home screen
The home screen shows the time and date and the status of your SmartWatch 3.
From the home screen, you can view cards or take voice actions.
When the screen is dimmed, you can still see the time and date and view the status
of your SmartWatch 3.
Cards
Much of the information that you need appears on the screen of your SmartWatch 3
as "cards". Depending on the information shown, a card can be compared to a
notification or reminder, an update, a pop-up message or a thumbnail.
You can view cards that show the weather of the day, your daily step count, incoming
text messages and the answer to a simple question that you want to know.
You can swipe through cards, that is, you can swipe from one screen to another to
view more details and take actions. You can dismiss cards when you are finished
viewing them.
