The most criminally underused Apple Watch feature is the ability to quickly find your iPhone using your Apple Watch. Here's how it works.

The Apple Watch has a useful feature that allows you to find your iPhone by making it play a sound.
Older models of the Apple Watch can make your iPhone play a pinging sound, while newer models provide distance and direction indicators.
You can also make your iPhone's LED flash using your Apple Watch, and if all else fails, you can use the Find My app to see your iPhone's location on a map.
