This is a simple and fairly quick process. In this article, we will guide you step by step to properly pair your Apple Watch so you can enjoy it quickly.
Before starting the pairing, it is important that you have your iPhone nearby and that the latest update has been completed. It will also be necessary for Bluetooth to be enabled and for you to be connected to an internet network (Wi-Fi or cellular).

First of all, before you can start the pairing process, you will need to turn on your Apple Watch. To do this, simply press the side button, just below the crown, for a few seconds.

Once your Apple Watch is turned on, normally, the pairing should appear on your iPhone screen, you will need to press continue. You can also go directly to the “Watch” app on your iPhone and tap “start pairing” then “set up for myself”.
As soon as your iPhone indicates, you will need to position your iPhone so that the Apple Watch appears in the camera viewfinder. This step will allow your iPhone to recognize your Apple Watch and thus pair them together.
3. Set up your Apple Watch
And there you go, your Apple Watch is already paired with your iPhone! Now, all you have to do is set it up. If this is your first Apple Watch, you will need to configure everything.

You can choose the unlock code if you want one or the text size. You can also fill in your useful personal information and set up Apple Pay to have it on your Apple Watch.
During the entire synchronization, we advise you not to move your two devices away to ensure everything goes smoothly.
