FAQ
Does it work without my iPhone nearby?
Yes. After initial setup, the Apple Watch app runs independently. The widget requires your iPhone.
Can I control multiple rooms?
Absolutely—switch between any room in any of your Sonos households from either the watch or iPhone Widget.
Does it work with grouped speakers?
Yes. Volume changes apply to all speakers in a group.
Do I need a Sonos subscription?
No. WristLevels works with your existing Sonos system—no additional subscription required.
Which Sonos speakers are supported?
All speakers that work with the Sonos API: Era, Arc, Beam, One, Five, Move, Roam, and more.
Why would I use the widget instead of just opening the Sonos app?
Speed. The widget gives you volume controls in one tap from your home screen—no unlocking, no app opening, no navigation. It’s 5-10 seconds faster than the Sonos app.
