Set up your Apple Watch
Learn how to set up your Apple Watch with your iPhone.
Before you begin
To use Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS + Cellular), you need an iPhone 6 or later with the latest version of iOS.
(To use Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS) or earlier models of Apple Watch, you need an iPhone 5s or later with
the latest version of iOS.)
You also need to complete these steps:
1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is on.
2. Make sure that your iPhone is connected to Wi‑Fi or a cellular network.
If you already set up your Apple Watch but want to use it with a different iPhone, you can
transfer your Apple Watch and its content to your new iPhone.
Turn on your Apple Watch
To turn on your Apple Watch, press and hold the side button
until you see the Apple logo. This may take a few minutes.
Get help if your Apple Watch won’t turn on or if you're asked
to enter a passcode and forgot it.
1
Put on your Apple Watch
Hold your Apple Watch and iPhone close together.
Wait for the "Use your iPhone to set up this Apple
Watch" message to appear on your iPhone, then
tap Continue. If you don't see this message, open
the Apple Watch app, then tap Start Pairing.
Keep your Apple Watch and iPhone close together
until you complete these steps.

your iPhone. Wait for a message to say that your
Apple Watch is paired.

Sign in with your Apple ID
If asked, enter your Apple ID password. If you aren’t asked, you can sign in later from the Apple

If Find My iPhone isn't set up on your iPhone, you'll be asked to turn on Activation Lock. If you see
an Activation Lock screen, your Apple Watch is already linked to an Apple ID. You need to enter
the email address and password for that Apple ID to continue set up. If your Apple Watch was
previously owned, you might need to contact the previous owner to remove Activation Lock.
Choose your settings
You can set up Location Services, Route Tracking, and Siri. If Siri isn’t already set up on your
iPhone, it will turn on after you choose this option.
Then your Apple Watch shows you which settings it shares with your iPhone. If you turned on
Find my iPhone, Location Services, Wi‑Fi Calling, and Diagnostics for your iPhone, these settings
automatically turn on for your Apple Watch.

Create a passcode
You can skip creating a passcode, but you need
one for features like Apple Pay.
On your iPhone, tap Create a Passcode or Add a
Long Passcode, then switch to your Apple Watch
to enter your new code. To skip, tap
Don't Add Passcode.
You'll also be asked to set up Apple Pay by adding
a card.

We'll walk you through setting up features,
like SOS and Activity. On Apple Watch Series 3
(GPS + Cellular), you can also set up cellular.
Then you can install your apps that are compatible
with Apple Watch.
