Get Started

A quick look at Apple Watch

Here are the gestures you need to use Apple Watch and its apps. The Apple Watch display not only responds to touch-based gestures like tapping and swiping, but it also uses Force Touch technology to respond to the pressure of your finger.

Set up and pair with iPhone

A setup assistant guides you through a few simple steps to pair your Apple Watch 3 with your iPhone and make it your own.

If you have difficulty seeing the Apple Watch 3 or iPhone screen to set it up, VoiceOver or Zoom can help. See Set up Apple Watch 3 using VoiceOver on page 77 or Zoom on page 79. Set up and pair. Update your iPhone to iOS software version 8.2 or later (go to Settings > General > Software Update), which includes the companion Apple Watch app. Then open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.

WARNING: To avoid injury, read the Important safety information on page 81 before using Apple Watch.

Put Apple Watch 3 on your wrist, then press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo. When prompted, position your iPhone so that Apple Watch appears in the camera viewfinder on the iPhone screen. Follow the instructions on your iPhone and Apple Watch 3 to finish the setup. During setup, you’ll choose your language, watch orientation, and passcode. For information on how to change these later, see Change language and orientation on page 12 and Power on, wake, and unlock on page 8.

You might need to charge your Apple Watch 3 before pairing it with your iPhone. For information on charging, see Charge Apple Watch on page 13.

Change or clean the watch band. For optimal performance, Apple Watch 3 should fit closely but comfortably on your wrist. Adjust the band accordingly. For information about removing and changing the band on Apple Watch, or for help with cleaning, see Remove, change, and Fasten bands on page 87 and Band Care information on page 86.

Read and reply to messages

You can read incoming text messages right on Apple Watch 3. You can also reply from Apple Watch, by dictating or choosing a prepared response, or switch to iPhone to type a response.

WARNING: For important information about avoiding distractions that could lead to dangerous situations, see Important Safety Information on page 81.

• Read a message. You’ll feel a notification tap or hear an alert sound when a message arrives— just raise your Apple Watch to read it. Turn the Digital Crown to scroll.
• Open a conversation in the Messages app. Tap the Messages icon in the notification.
• See a photo in the message. Tap the photo to view it, double-tap it to fill the screen, and drag it to the pan. When you’re finished, swipe left from the edge of the photo screen to return to the conversation. If you want to save the photo, open the message in the Messages app on your iPhone, and save it there.
• Listen to an audio clip in a message. Tap the clip to listen. The clip is deleted after two minutes to save space—if you want to keep it, tap Keep below the clip. The audio will remain for 30 days, and you can set it to remain longer on iPhone: go to Settings > Messages, scroll to Audio Messages, tap Expire, then tap a value.
• View a video in a message. In the Messages app, tap a video in a message to start playing the video full-screen. Tap once to display the playback controls. Double-tap to zoom out and turn the Digital Crown to adjust the volume. Swipe or tap the back button to return to the conversation.
• Jump to the top of a long message. In Messages, tap the top of the display.

Send and manage messages

Send a new message. Open Messages, firmly press the list of conversations, then tap the New Message icon. Tap a contact in the list of recent conversations that appears, tap + in the lower left to choose from your full list of contacts, or tap the Microphone button to search for someone in your contacts or to dictate a phone number.

There are several ways to compose your message:

• Use preset replies
• Dictate new text
• Record an audio clip
• Send an animated emoji
• Send a map showing your location (if you have your iPhone with you)
• Switch to iPhone and use the full keyboard to type a message

Send a preset reply. When replying to a message, you see a list of handy phrases that you can use—just tap one to send it. The phrases include contextual responses based on the last message received and six default phrases that you can change. To substitute your own phrases, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, go to Messages > Default Replies, then tap a default reply to change it.

Set and respond to reminders

There’s no Reminders app on Apple Watch, but Apple Watch notifies you of reminders you create in the Reminders app on your iPhone—and on any other iOS device or Mac that’s signed in using your Apple ID. Also, you can create reminders using Siri on Apple Watch.

• Respond to a reminder. If you see the reminder notification when it arrives, just swipe (or turn the Digital Crown to scroll) to the bottom of the reminder, then tap Snooze, Completed, or Dismiss. If you discover the notification later, tap it in your list of notifications, then scroll and respond.
• Set a reminder. Use Siri on Apple Watch. Press and hold the Digital Crown, then speak. Or just raise your wrist and say “Hey Siri, set a reminder.” You can also set reminders on your iPhone or another iOS device or Mac that is signed in using your Apple ID.

Health and Fitness

Track daily activity

The Activity app on your Apple Watch keeps track of your movement throughout the day and helps encourage you to meet your fitness goals. The app tracks how often you stand up, how much you move, and how many minutes of exercise you do, and provides a simple and powerful graphic ring of your daily activity. The goal is to sit less, move more, and get some exercise by completing each ring every day. The Activity app on iPhone keeps a long-term record of all your activity.

WARNING: Apple Watch, the heart rate sensor, and the included Apple Watch apps are not medical devices and are intended for fitness purposes only. For important information about using the fitness apps safely, see Important Safety information on page 81.

Remote Control

You can use the Remote app on your Apple Watch to play music in iTunes on a computer on the same Wi-Fi network.

Add an iTunes library. Open the Remote app on Apple Watch, then tap Add Device +. In iTunes on your computer, click the Remote button near the top of the iTunes window, then enter the 4-digit code displayed on Apple Watch.

Don’t look for the Remote button in iTunes before you tap Add Device on Apple Watch—the button appears only when a remote is trying to connect. In iTunes 12 and later, the Remote button is in the upper left, below the Volume slider. In iTunes 11 and earlier, the Remote button is in the upper right, below the Search field.

Choose a library to play from. If you have only one library, you should be good to go. If you’ve added more than one library, tap the one you want when you open Remote on Apple Watch. If you’re already playing music, tap the Back button in the upper left of the playback controls, then tap the Library.

Control playback. Use the playback controls in the Remote app.

Remove a library. In the Remote app on your Apple Watch, tap the Back button in the upper left to view your devices, firmly press the display, then tap Edit. When the device icons jiggle, tap x on the one you want to remove, then tap Remove. If that was your only remote device, you’re finished—otherwise, tap the checkmark to finish editing.

Accessibility and Related Settings

The Accessibility Shortcut

You can set the Digital Crown to turn either VoiceOver or Zoom on or off with a triple-click. Set the Accessibility Shortcut. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, go to General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, then choose VoiceOver or Zoom. Use the shortcut. Press the Digital Crown quickly three times. Triple-click the Digital Crown again to turn of the accessibility feature.

VoiceOver

VoiceOver helps you use Apple Watch even if you can’t see the display. Use simple gestures to move around the screen and listen as VoiceOver speaks about each item you select.

Turn on VoiceOver. On Apple Watch, open the Settings app, then turn on General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. You can also use your iPhone to turn on VoiceOver for Apple Watch—open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, then tap the VoiceOver option in General > Accessibility. Or, use the Accessibility Shortcut. And there’s always Siri:

Explore the screen. Move your finger around on the display and listen as the name of each item Your touch is spoken. You can also tap with one finger to select an item or swipe left or right with one finger to select an adjacent item. Swipe left or right, up or down with two fingers to see other pages. (For example, swipe up with two fingers on the watch face to see glances, then swipe left or right with two fingers to see the different glances.)

Go back. Gone down a path you didn’t expect? Do a two-finger scrub: use two fingers to trace a “z” shape on the display.

Act on an item. With VoiceOver on, use a double tap instead of a single tap to open an app, switch an option, or perform any action that would normally be done with a tap. Select an app icon or option switch by tapping it or swiping on it, then double-tap to perform its action.

For example, to turn VoiceOver off, select the VoiceOver button, then double-tap anywhere on the display.

Perform additional actions. Some items offer several actions—listen for “actions available” when you select an item. Swipe up or down to choose an action, then double-tap to perform it. (For example, when you select the watch face, you can swipe up or down to choose from go-to glances and go-to-notifcation-center actions.)
