How to use AssistiveTouch on Apple Watch | Apple Support

With Assistive Touch on Apple Watch, you can use hand gestures instead of the touchscreen to navigate and perform actions. To enable it, go to Accessibility settings on your Apple Watch or the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then turn on Assistive Touch. Customize gestures like pinching your thumb and pointer finger to move forward, double pinching to go back, clenching your fist to select, and double clenching to open the action menu for tasks like scrolling. When Assistive Touch is active, a blue ring appears around the screen, allowing you to navigate notifications and perform quick actions with ease.
