"Set up and pair Apple Watch with iPhone

To use your Apple Watch Series 1 or later with watchOS 6.2, you need to pair your Apple Watch with an iPhone 6s or later with iOS 13 or later. Setup assistants on your iPhone and Apple Watch work together to help you pair and set up your Apple Watch.

WARNING: To avoid injury, read Important safety information for Apple Watch before using your Apple Watch.


Turn on, pair, and set up your Apple Watch

  2. For information about resizing or changing the band on your Apple Watch, see Remove, change, and fasten Apple Watch bands.
  3. To turn on your Apple Watch, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo.
  4. Bring your iPhone near your Apple Watch, wait for the Apple Watch pairing screen to appear on your iPhone, then tap Continue.

While it’s pairing with your iPhone, your Apple Watch provides tips on how to interact with it. Tap Display, Digital Crown, and Side Button to learn more.

You can activate cellular service on your Apple Watch with cellular during setup. If you don’t wish to, you can activate it later in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. See Use Apple Watch with a cellular network.

  • If the camera doesn’t start the pairing process: Tap Pair Apple Watch Manually at the bottom of the iPhone screen, and follow the onscreen instructions.
