I know a picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words, but I think I need some words here too. Which feature are we supposed to be looking at? The fact that it says Ford instead of showing a picture of your car?

The widget allows you to lock/unlock/start the car from your Apple Watch. I'm new to smart watches so not sure if all y'all knew about this feature

Oh, you're just showing that FordPass for Apple Watch exists? It has actually existed for a while and then was unceremoniously removed. It was added back a couple of FordPass versions ago. And the highly anticipated feature of haptic feedback was just added today.

Not sure why yours says Ford instead of showing a picture of your car though.

If you really want to get adventurous you can create Siri Shortcuts on your phone (first photo) then send them to your watch (next five photos). You don't have to touch your watch or phone and just ask Siri to perform any of these functions. I have explained how to do this in several threads here.

Shhhh ?

You're not supposed to admit this when your profile says "software engineer"

? I’ve been putting it off for years. I’m going to try my hand at some apps for the watch soon.

This is great, I use Shortcuts on a limited basis and I am not very good at creating Shortcuts. Can you provide instructions on how to? I am interested in starting my Mach-E and what the Tire Pressure is.
