1. A method comprising:

  • determining occurrence of a software event on a wrist worn apparatus;

    determining a notification based, at least in part, on the software event such that the notification comprises information that signifies the software event;

    causing rendering of the notification;

    determining that the wrist worn apparatus has been tilted from a user-facing direction to a non-user-facing direction;

    determining that the wrist worn apparatus is progressively tilting from the non-user-facing direction towards another user-facing direction;

    while the wrist worn apparatus is progressively tilting and prior to the wrist worn apparatus becoming oriented in the another user-facing direction, causing display of an animation indicative of a transition from rendering of the notification, wherein the wrist worn apparatus is determined to be oriented in the another user-facing direction based on satisfaction of a directional threshold;

    in an instance in which it is determined that the amount of time from when the wrist worn apparatus has been tilted from the user-facing direction to the non-user-facing direction to a time in which the wrist worn apparatus has been tilted from the non-user-facing direction to the another user-facing direction falls within a notification tilt actuation threshold duration, causing performance of at least one operation associated with the software event based, at least in part, on the determination that the wrist worn apparatus has been tilted from the non-user-facing direction to the another user-facing direction within the notification tilt actuation threshold duration; and

    in an instance in which it is determined that the notification tilt actuation threshold duration has elapsed since the determination that the wrist worn apparatus has been tilted from the user-facing direction to the non-user-facing direction, without the wrist worn apparatus having been tilted from the non-user-facing direction to the another user-facing direction, terminating display of the animation based, at least in part, on the determination that the notification tilt actuation threshold duration has elapsed since determining that the wrist worn apparatus has been tilted from the user-facing direction to the non-user-facing direction.
