Location Services uses GPS and nearby Wi-Fi networks to determine your location. This information is used by apps that provide location-based content, such as Maps and Weather. Many of the built-in apps on your watch also use your location to provide their own features and content. For example, Workout uses your location to calculate pace and distance.

If you enable Location Services on your watch, you can select which apps can use your location information and which ones can’t. To turn Location Services on or off:

1. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app.

Choose a passcode for your Apple Watch

Your Apple Watch is designed to keep your information safe. When you first set up your watch, you’re asked to choose a passcode. This passcode is different from the one you use to unlock your iPhone. It’s four digits long by default, but you can choose a longer one.

There are two ways to enter your passcode: with the digital crown or with the on-screen keypad. If you can’t remember your passcode, there’s no way to reset it from your Apple Watch. You can, however, erase all the content from your watch and start again.

This is an optional step, but it’s something you should consider before proceeding. By default, your Apple Watch will send Diagnostics & Usage Data to Apple.

Set up Notifications

There are two ways to set up Notifications on your Apple Watch: through the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, or directly on your Apple Watch.

If you want to be able to customize your notifications (for example, deciding which apps can send notifications and what type of notification they can send), we recommend setting up notifications through the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. If you just want to receive notifications from the default set of apps, you can set up notifications directly on your Apple Watch.

To set up notifications on your iPhone:
1. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Notifications.
3. Tap the switch next to Allow Notifications.
4. Tap the switch next to Repeat Alerts if you want alerts from that app to repeat.
5 To customize an app’s notification settings, tap the app’s name under Notification Style. For more information on customizing notifications, see Customize Notification Settings on Your Apple Watch below.

To set up notifications directly on your Apple Watch:
1. On your Apple Watch, open the Settings app.
2. Tap Notifications -> OFF (if it’s not already selected). Doing this will turn all notifications off; if you just want to turn off some of them, continue to step 3 below instead and choose which ones you want to disable individually.. If you’d like sounds and haptics with each notification, tap Sounds & Haptics -> ON (if it’s not already selected). If you only want certain types of haptics (for example, taps rather than pulses), choose an option under Haptics instead.. 3 To turn off specific types of notification alerts from certain apps, scroll down and tap an app’s name under Do Not Disturb -> OFF (if it’s not already selected)..

Set up Glances

Glances are quick snapshots of the information you care about most. To set up Glances:

2. Tap Customize.
3. To add a Glance, tap the Add button . To delete a Glance, tap the Delete button , then tap Delete.
4. To rearrange your Glances, touch and hold a Glance, then drag it to another position.

Customize your watch face

To quickly customize a watch face, firmly press the display, then swipe left or right.

To change the color of a Complication or modify other settings, tap the Complication > , then tap Edit.

Choose your apps

Now that you have your brand new Apple Watch, it’s time to customize it to your liking. One of the first things you’ll want to do is choose which apps to have on your Watch.

There are two ways to do this: either through the Watch app on your iPhone, or directly on the Watch itself. If you want to manage your apps through your iPhone, simply open the Watch app and scroll down to the “Available Apps” list. From here, you can browse through all of the apps that are compatible with the Apple Watch and select which ones you want to install.

If you’re running low on storage space on your Watch, you can also choose to only install the app’s complications (miniature widgets that appear on the watch face) by tapping the “Complications Only” option next to an app’s name.

To install apps directly on your Watch, open the App Store app on your device. Once there, you can browse through featured, categories, or top charts just like you would on your iPhone. When you find an app you want, tap on it and then select “Install.” The app will begin downloading onto your Apple Watch.
