Theater Mode comes with watchOS 3.2


Apple released watchOS 3.2 for the Apple Watch. The headline feature is the addition of Theater Mode, which has been rumored for release with recent beta version of the watchOS.

The idea is when enabled, Theater Mode will prevent the Apple Watch screen from inadvertently lighting up. So, if you're in a movie theater for example, the screen won't illuminate when moving your arm or with alerts. The device still offers notifications with the haptic feedback and wearers can view the notification by tapping the screen or using the Digital Crown.
