1. Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
2. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and pair your Watch with your phone.

Customizing Your Watch

Changing the Watch face
Go to the Home screen. Tap and hold the display. Swipe left or right to choose a different face. Tap Customize to customize the complications, colors, and more.
To add a new watch face:
Open the Watch app on your iPhone. Tap the watch tab then tap Face Gallery. Swipe to browse the available watch faces, then tap one that you want to add. Touch and hold the display, then swipe left or right until you find the new watch face. To quickly customize a watch face: Tap and hold the display of your current watch face, swipe left or right to choose a different color or design for that watch face, then tap Customize. You can also tap Edit in the upper-right corner to further customize your watch face using Complications (bits of information such as calendar events or stocks).
Adding and rearranging apps
Adding and rearranging apps on your Apple Watch is quick and easy. To add an app, touch and hold the screen, then tap the plus sign. To rearrange apps, touch and hold the screen until they jiggle, then drag an app to a new location.
Notifications
One of the great things about the Apple Watch is that it can help you stay connected to the people and information you care about most. Notifications let you know when something important happens, even when your iPhone is out of reach. For example, you might get a notification from your banking app when it’s time to pay a bill, or an alert from the NOAA app when severe weather is headed your way.
Notifications on your Apple Watch come from two places: your iPhone and any apps you have installed on your watch. By default, most apps on your iPhone that support notifications also support sending notifications to your Apple Watch. For example, you might get notifications from the Calendar or Messages app. And depending on what apps are installed on your watch, you might also get weather alerts, sports scores, and more.
Conclusion
Once you have successfully set up your Apple Watch, you will be able to begin using all of its features and functions. Be sure to take some time to explore all of the different Watch apps and settings so that you can get the most out of your new device.
