How to set up and use your Apple Watch: The ultimate guide

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-set-and-start-using-your-apple-watch' title="How to set up and use your Apple Watch: The ultimate guide"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/04/apple-watch-customize-watch-face-hero.jpg?itok=LcI0-C1e' />[/url]</p> <p class="intro">Apple Watch will help you stay informed, stay in shape, stay in touch, and more. Once you set it up.</p> <p>The Apple Watch is the most personal computer the company ever made. You wear it on your wrist and it pairs with the iPhone in your pocket or bag. From there it gives you notifications and widget-like glances, tracks your activity and exercise, handles calls and messages, makes payments, and controls your music and TV, and more. You can even customize your Apple Watch by swapping bands, changing clock faces, and more.</p> <p>Here's everything you need to know to get started!</p> <!--break--> <h2>What's in the box</h2> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/9rqF9uR82lU?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;controls=2&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-9rqf9ur82lu" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div> <!--/video--> <p>Your Apple Watch includes the watch case, the strap, a magnetic charger, an AC power adapter, and an introductory pamphlet.</p> <h2>How to set up and pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone</h2> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mGisvdeh_PQ?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;controls=2&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-mgisvdehpq" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div> <!--/video--> <p>The first thing you need to do with your new Apple Watch is set it up and pair it with your iPhone. That's what the Apple Watch app is for. It comes pre-installed on your iPhone and lets you set up and manage almost every aspect of your Apple Watch. The Apple Watch app is what you'll use to complete the initial pairing and sync, and how you'll adjust settings and install apps going forward. You can even choose to set it up right or left handed. If you're not sure how to get started, we'll walk you through the entire process!</p> <ul><li>How to set up and pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone</li> </ul><h2>How to update the Watch OS software on your Apple Watch</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-set-and-start-using-your-apple-watch' title="How to set up and use your Apple Watch: The ultimate guide"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/05/how-to-update-watch-os-hero.jpg?itok=zg65SLYa' />[/url]</p> <p>Apple Watch software updates are similar to iPhone software updates. Because the Apple Watch is paired to the iPhone for internet access and easy device management, however, Watch OS updates aren't done directly on the Apple Watch. Instead, they're done using the Apple Watch for iPhone app. To get started, make sure you have your iPhone ready and on Wi-Fi, and your Apple Watch is charged to 50% or more and connected to its magnetic charger.</p> <ul><li>How to update the Watch OS software on your Apple Watch</li> </ul><h2>How to swap bands on your Apple Watch</h2> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/h5EV6nGBLrc?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;controls=2&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-h5ev6ngblrc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div> <!--/video--> <p>The Apple Watch is both a gadget and a fashion accessory, and that means interchangeable bands. No matter what version Apple Watch you purchased, you can buy additional bands that fit the many different aspects of your lifestyle. If you're heading to the gym, for example, you can switch to a sport band. If you're heading for an evening out, the Milanese or Classic Buckle might be a better option. Best of all, the process for changing bands is super simple as long as you know how!</p> <ul><li>How to swap bands on your Apple Watch</li> <li>How to easily re-size the link bracelet on your Apple Watch</li> </ul><h2>How to navigate and control your Apple Watch</h2> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4XweWm6I8jg?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;controls=2&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-4xwewm6i8jg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div> <!--/video--> <p>The Apple Watch has two hardware buttons and a capacitive screen but, just like the iPhone, there's a lot you can do with them! There;s a Digital Crown which you can press like a home button but also turn to scroll or zoom, and there's a Side button which you can use to power on or off but also access friends, Apple Pay, and more. There's even Siri, the virtual personal assistant, so you can control your Apple Watch with the sound of your voice.</p> <ul><li>How to navigate and control your Apple Watch</li> <li>How to use Siri on Apple Watch</li> <li>How to use Force Touch for additional options on your Apple Watch</li> </ul><h2>How to change and customize the watch face on your Apple Watch</h2> <div class="video"><div class="video_iframe"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/lH8D-XgVJWk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;controls=2&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" width="627" height="353" class="video-filter video-youtube vf-lh8dxgvjwk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div></div> <!--/video--> <p>With Apple Watch, you're not limited to a single watch face like you are with a traditional timepiece. Force Touch and you can change your Apple Watch from chronograph to color, modular to utility, Mickey Mouse to simple, motion to solar, astronomy to... you get the idea. Each has a different density and character, a different capacity for complication and customization. Best of all, changing your watch face is really easy to do once you know how!</p> <div id="block-block-85" class="block block-block"> <div class="content"> <ul><li>How to change the watch face on your Apple Watch</li> <li>How to add and delete clock faces to your Apple Watch</li> <li>How to re-order clock faces on your Apple Watch</li> <li>How to customize and add complications to your Apple Watch</li> <li>Read how to change the monogram on your Apple Watch — including to </li> <li>How to set the clock ahead on the Apple Watch</li> <li>How to access and add world clocks on Apple Watch</li> <li>How to create and manage alarms on Apple Watch</li> <li>How to use your Apple Watch as a stopwatch</li> <li>How to set a timer on Apple Watch</li> </ul></div> </div> <h2>How to set up notifications on your Apple Watch</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-set-and-start-using-your-apple-watch' title="How to set up and use your Apple Watch: The ultimate guide"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/01/apple_watch_blue_messages_demo.jpg?itok=FjwgRS1l' />[/url]</p> <p>The Apple Watch shows you short and long glances — discreet and informative notifications — for messages, news alerts, and more. As long as your Apple Watch is paired with your iPhone over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, whatever is sent to your iPhone will be relayed to your Apple Watch. That is, as long as your iPhone is locked and your Apple Watch is on and in contact with your wrist.

The Apple Watch lets you set up your most frequent and important contacts that way, as "Friends", so you can access them quickly.

Once you set it up. Apple Pay on your Apple Watch is a different experience than it is on your iPhone, but it's every bit as safe and secure. With it, you can tap to pay at thousands of retail locations across the U.S. Before you can start using it with your credit and debit cards, however, you need to set it up.</p> <ul><li>How to set up and add credit and debit cards to Apple Pay on Apple Watch</li> <li>How to pick a default payment card for Apple Pay on Apple Watch</li> <li>How to make an Apple Pay purchase with Apple Watch</li> <li>How to remove credit or debit cards from Apple Pay on Apple Watch</li> </ul><h2>How to set up and use Activity and Workout on your Apple Watch</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-set-and-start-using-your-apple-watch' title="How to set up and use your Apple Watch: The ultimate guide"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/05/apple-watch-exercise-goal-met-hero.jpg?itok=McOQTOlw' />[/url]</p> <p>The Apple Watch includes new and novel health and fitness features that can help motivate you and keep you on track. Out of the box, your Apple Watch can count your calories and steps, track your workouts, and even monitor your heart rate. Whether your goal is losing weight, gaining cardio, monitoring your health for medical reasons, or to live a better life, the Apple Watch and its built-in Activity, Workout, and Health apps can help you do just that.</p> <div id="block-block-84" class="block block-block"> <div class="content"> <ul><li>Apple Watch and activity tracking: 5 things you need to know</li> <li>How to set a calorie goal with Activity for Apple Watch</li> <li>How to view activity levels on Apple Watch</li> <li>How to add the Activity app to your Apple Watch's clock face</li> <li>How to view your step count with Apple Watch</li> <li>How to check your heart rate with Apple Watch</li> <li>How to pair an external heart rate monitor to Apple Watch</li> <li>How to track athletic progress and achievements with Apple Watch</li> <li>How to track a workout session with Apple Watch</li> <li>How to pause a workout with Apple Watch</li> <li>How to view goal metrics in Workout for Apple Watch</li> </ul></div> </div> <h2>How to transfer music and set up a Bluetooth headset on your Apple Watch</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/how-set-and-start-using-your-apple-watch' title="How to set up and use your Apple Watch: The ultimate guide"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large_wm_blw/public/field/image/2015/04/how-to-sync-music-iphone-apple-watch-comp.jpg?itok=j5ZdUlBd' />[/url]</p> <p>Apple Watch and iPhone may be two devices that become even better together, but Apple's wearable is still powerful in its own right. If you leave your iPhone at home, there's still a lot you can do with your Apple Watch on its own. That includes some basic things like checking the time and looking at photos, but it also includes playing music stored locally on your Apple Watch.

So, if you want to capture a conversation or a score, a piece of news or a bug, it's absolutely worth knowing how to do it. Best of all, it's as easy as clicking on a couple of buttons.

It could be unusual battery drain, it could be erratic performance, it could just be your need for a fresh start.
