Pairing an Apple Watch the first time is self-explanatory! We'll teach you how to connect your Apple Watch to your new phone or your new Apple Watch to your old phone.

Your Apple Watch is a great way to stay current on all your messages, news alerts, and app notifications when you are away from your iPhone.

Apple Watch apps can be easily navigated using one of two layouts. Grid view shows your app icons in a honeycomb layout that you can navigate with your finger.

When you're watching movies, the last thing you need is your Apple Watch to send you notifications and light up the dark room. That's where the Apple Watch's Theater mode feature comes in!
