Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!

Before you begin, make sure of the below:

• Your iPhone has been updated to the latest version of iOS.
• The device is connected to WiFi.
• Bluetooth is turned ON.

After that, set your Apple Watch and iPhone next to each other.  Both devices need to “talk to each other” during the setup process.

Start the setup process by doing the following:

• Turn the iPhone and the Apple Watch ON (press and hold the upper-right side button).
• Wait for the Apple logo to disappear.
• When the two devices are close together, a message may come up (on iPhone) prompting for the pairing process to begin.
• Click [CONTINUE].
• Hold the iPhone over the animation on the watch.  The pairing process has begun.
• Wait for a message that says your watch has been paired.
• Then, tap the [SET UP APPLE WATCH] button.
• Follow the screens to finish the setup to your preferences.
• That’s it.
