How to customize the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra

Built for endurance, exploration, and adventure, the redesigned Apple Watch Ultra features a 49mm titanium casing, flat sapphire front crystal, thicker Digital Crown, and an all-new customizable Action button.

Action button allows runners, divers, hikers, rock climbers, and other athletes and extreme sports participants to quickly launch the app they need without unlocking the smartwatch and manually opening the app.

It is useful for users to not only quickly start a workout or dive session, but also to switch between apps. For example, during an active hike workout, a user forgets their track. In that case, they quickly open the Compass Backtrack to retract their hike simply by tapping on the Action button on their Apple Watch Ultra.
