# watchOS 11: Enhanced Ringtone Choices and More for Apple Watch Enthusiasts
With the launch of watchOS 11, Apple Watch enthusiasts can anticipate a variety of thrilling new features aimed at improving their health, fitness, and overall experience. Among the key updates are advancements in health monitoring, the debut of Live Activities, a new Translate app, and an array of vibrant watch faces. Nonetheless, one feature that may have been overlooked is the option to modify the default ringtone on the Apple Watch.
## watchOS 11 Now Includes Ringtone Choices
Since the launch of the Apple Watch, users have been able to make and receive calls straight from their wrist. However, they were confined to the default ringtone provided by Apple. Although the Cellular version of the Apple Watch Series 3 brought a new ringtone, the absence of customization options continued to frustrate many users.
With the introduction of watchOS 11, this restriction has been resolved. The developer beta preview has revealed the ability to alter the ringtone on the Apple Watch. Users can now select from eight distinct ringtones, including those that were previously available on both the GPS and Cellular versions. The available ringtones are:
– **Pebbles** (Cellular ringtone)
– **Focus**
– **Jingle** (original ringtone)
– **Nighthawk**
– **Transmit**
– **Twirl**
– **Windup**
– **Wonder**
This newfound customization enables users to tailor their Apple Watch experience, making it easier to identify incoming calls.
In addition to ringtone customization, watchOS 11 allows users to alter notification sounds for various alerts, such as text messages, emails, calendar events, reminders, and other notifications. The selection for notification sounds includes:
– **Resonate**
– **Brilliant**
– **Cheer**
– **Flutter**
– **Globe**
– **Moment**
– **Scoop**
– **Timekeeper**
– **Tinker**
While this update offers a welcome enhancement, it’s important to note that users still cannot assign specific ringtones to individual contacts or select ringtones from the iTunes Store. Nevertheless, the newfound ability to customize ringtones and notification sounds is a considerable advancement for Apple Watch enthusiasts.
