Set Up Your New Apple Watch the RIGHT Way (Settings I Change Every Time)
Just got a new Apple Watch? I'll walk you through the whole setup, from unboxing and pairing to the settings I change on every new Apple Watch I own. That includes the one setting that's off by default and makes switching watch faces so much easier.
We'll cover pairing with your iPhone, setting it up for yourself or a family member, passcode and Apple Pay, Siri, Activity goals, fall detection, cellular, and then the stuff most setup guides skip: stopping automatic app installs, cutting down on Music, Podcast, and Photo syncing, lowering brightness, deleting apps you don't need, building out your watch faces, and setting up Control Center so you never hit Ping when you meant to hit Silent mode.
Use the chapters below to jump straight to what you need. This guide is up to date for watchOS 27.
