The Apple Watch may be the favorite and most recommended smart watch for some, but setting it up and making the most of its services are important things that you should pay attention to when buying and starting to use it. Here are seven important tips for authorizing the use of the new Apple Watch, according to the website (The Seventh Day).
Charge the watch:
The first thing to do is charge your watch, and you’ll need to keep the charging dock nearby during the setup process as your Apple Watch may need to be recharged, especially if there are software updates to install.
Once charged, turn on your Apple Watch by holding down the button at the bottom of the Digital Crown for a few seconds.
When it is active, check your iPhone because, most likely, an alert already appears on the screen asking if you want your phone to start the pairing process.
Additionally, the required Watch app is also pre-installed on your iPhone.
Click Continue on the iPhone screen to get started and follow the simple instructions.
Set up your Apple Watch:
If you’ve previously owned an Apple Watch, your new Apple Watch can be configured to reflect the settings you previously had, including installed apps, Siri preferences, and even the wrist you usually wear.
If you want to set it up as a new Apple Watch, tap Customize Settings and look for Set Up as New Apple Watch at the bottom of the screen.
If this is your first Apple Watch, you won’t have this option.
The whole process will take 10 minutes at most, be smart with your passcode, even if you don’t like your Apple Watch passcode, you need to use it in some situations.
If you set one, you must tap the PIN every time you put your Apple Watch back on after taking it off.
Alerts and Apple Pay:
If you want to use Apple Pay, you need to use a passcode, and I highly recommend not doing it for too long, as you have to tap it on the small screen.
I know this probably goes against all the usual security warnings, but the idea of regularly tapping a 12-digit PIN on my wrist isn’t pretty.
Software Updates:
There’s a good chance you’ll need to wait for the latest version of watchOS to download after setting up your Apple Watch for the first time.
In the Watch app go to General then Software Update to check, if available it will start downloading immediately.
I always do it right away because it’s better than waiting for iOS to send you an alert, as well as receive the latest features and fixes before you start using the watch.
This is where you will need the charger again. Once the update has downloaded, you’ll need to place your Apple Watch back on the charger to install it.
The battery also requires more than 50% charge, which shouldn’t be a problem, as long as you fully charge the Apple Watch before setting it up.
It’s very convenient to remove software updates right now, it doesn’t take some time, so be prepared to spend up to an hour doing all this.
Have fun choosing your dial:
While you wait for the update to download, it’s time to take a look at the available watch faces.
From the Watch app home screen, tap the face image that’s currently set to your watch, then look for the Gallery Faces option at the bottom of the screen.
Tap it and you will find all available watch faces, each one can be customized with different colors, different designs and different complications.
Apple Watch settings are important to change
One of the best things about the Apple Watch is that almost all basic health and fitness features are turned on by default, and the always-on display works instantly if you have an 8 or Urtla series, it also requires a lot of information from your iPhone to make sure your watch is working properly.
To change the sound alert with notifications, which is sometimes done by default:
Go to Settings > Sounds & Taps, then use the small speaker icons to turn the volume up or down, or use silent mode to turn off sounds completely.
You can also set it to silent by pulling quick settings from the watch face and tapping the bell icon.
Add more Apple Watch bands to your collection:
Sport Band and Sport Loop are the default options for the Apple Watch, and one of them will likely be the one that comes with the new Apple Watch.
It’s easy to tighten while exercising to get the most accurate heart rate reading, and soft enough to wear all night and track your sleep.
