This feature is useful for those with physical and motor disabilities or anyone who finds it easier or more comfortable to interact with their watch using an iPhone display.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For example, through Watch Mirroring, you can start a workout, set up alarms, or take a heart rate measurement from your watch without interacting with it directly. While Siri works for most of these, it can be imprecise. And it isn\u2019t always possible or ideal to speak out loud.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-837998\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/watch_screen_workout-2.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Apple Watch workout view in mirroring mode\" width=\"650\" height=\"715\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Mirroring is also worthwhile if you want to interact with watch features for an extended period without holding your wrist in an awkward position.
