Get started
It takes just a few minutes to get up and running with Apple Watch.
Pair Apple Watch with your iPhone
To set up your Apple Watch, put it snugly on your wrist, press and hold the side button to turn it on, bring your iPhone near your watch, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Choose a watch face
Apple Watch comes with many attractive and useful watch faces. To choose one, swipe left or right across the screen.
Open an app
Just like your iPhone, Apple Watch has a collection of helpful apps. To open one, press the Digital Crown, then tap the app. To return to the Home screen, press the Digital Crown again.
Talk to Siri
Siri, like any good assistant, can help you in many ways. Just raise your wrist and ask Siri to open an app, send a message to a friend, or tell you the score of a sporting event.
