How do I change the name of my Apple Watch 5?

The name automatically assigned to the new watch is much too long to reveal WHICH watch details I am viewing. I also have an Apple Watch 4. Somehow I managed to shorten its name but do not recall how I did it.


Also, it would be convenient if I could access the information/details about the watch when it is not actively on my wrist. I find it difficult to edit while it is active.

To change your Watch's default name, you'll need to access the Watch app and make the following changes:

  1. Launch the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap on My Watch to access the Watch-specific settings.
  3. Tap on General, then About and then Name.
  4. Delete the current name and type in the new name you want to use.
