Setup Guides

Most setup guides here are for everyday Apple Watch settings. They cover changing the watch face, adding and removing apps, silencing the watch, setting an alarm and changing the time. Others cover locking the watch and opening it with your passcode or iPhone, using Walkie-Talkie, and setting up Apple Pay and cellular.

Garmin owners will find a guide to installing Connect IQ apps and another that explains what Body Battery shows. For AirPods, there's a guide to renaming them.

Each guide gives the steps in order and uses the menu names from the maker's support pages, so you can match each tap to your screen. Find your device and the setting you want in the list below. A setting that worked before and has stopped is a fault rather than a setup task, so go to the fix guide for your device.
