How to pair your new Apple Watch with your iPhone

Setting Up Your 42mm Stainless Steel Apple Watch with Milanese Loop: A Step-by-Step Guide

To begin, we need to power on your new 42mm stainless steel Apple Watch with Milanese Loop. Hold the side button to turn it on, and you'll see the Apple logo appear on the screen. This process takes a little time, about a minute, but once it's fully turned on, you'll be able to proceed with setting up your watch.

Once your watch is powered on, you'll see the language selection screen. Choose your preferred language, in this case, English. The watch will then guide you through the pairing process, and you'll need to open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. On your iPhone, open the Apple Watch app and click "Start Pairing." This is where the magic happens, as your watch will use a rotating particle world design to pair itself with your iPhone.

To initiate the pairing process, hold your watch in front of the iPhone camera so that the watch sees the rotating particle world. The watch will recognize the connection and let you know that it's paired. Click "Set Up Apple Watch" to continue, and you'll be prompted to choose which wrist you want to wear your watch on. If you're right-handed, like our host, you'll likely want to wear it on your left wrist.

To confirm, agree to the terms and conditions of use. You'll then need to enter your iCloud password, which may require two-step verification if you have that set up for your account. In this case, you've opted to receive a text with your four-digit passcode, so click "Text Me My Passcode" to proceed. Once you receive the passcode, enter it on your iPhone and continue setting up your watch.

Next, enable location services and Siri diagnostics as desired. You can choose to send diagnostics automatically or not, depending on your preference. Now it's time to create a four-digit passcode for your watch, which will be used to unlock it if you're out of range from your phone. This passcode is created directly on the watch itself, so make sure to enter it correctly.

You'll also have the option to install all available apps now or choose to do this later. Our host has decided to delay installing apps for now, as there are many that will likely sync to the watch and take some time to download. You can see the progress wheel around the Apple logo on your watch, indicating how much information is being synced from your iPhone.

As you wait for the syncing process to complete, which may take anywhere from five to ten minutes depending on the amount of data on your phone, feel free to plug in your charger to keep your watch charged. You'll want to make sure you have enough charge when you're ready to use your new Apple Watch.

Once the syncing process is complete, you'll be ready to start using your new Apple Watch. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the watch's features and settings before heading out. With this guide, you should now have a fully set up 42mm stainless steel Apple Watch with Milanese Loop, ready for you to enjoy.
