How to pair Apple Watch to a new iPhone?

Congratulations on your new iPhone! But, if you are here you might be facing some issues related to the pairing of your Apple watch with your new iPhone. Not to worry because this blog talks exactly about the process to sync your Apple Watch hassle-free. In this step-by-step guide, we will tell you how to pair Apple Watch to your new iPhone as well as the steps to register a new watch. But first, let us tell you some pre-requisites prior to the beginning of the pairing process:

• Make sure your iPhone is updated to its latest version. You can check it from the settings app > General > software update.
• Make sure that your new iPhone is connected to a wireless or mobile network with working internet connectivity.
• Make sure that your iPhone’s Bluetooth is enabled and that your iPhone is not hidden under the visibility option.

Steps to pair Apple Watch to your new iPhone:

Step 1: You need to set up your new iPhone, make sure to register your Apple ID, and turn on the Bluetooth. Wear your Apple Watch on your wrist and turn on the watch. Long-press the side button of your Apple Watch until the Apple logo shows up on the watch face.

Step 2: Open the ‘Watch’ app on your new iPhone and select the ‘pair new watch’ option. You can also hold your iPhone near the Apple Watch to automatically detect it and redirect you to the pairing page.

Step 3: When setting up your Apple Watch for the first time, click on Set Up Apple Watch and then follow the on-screen prompts on your iPhone and Apple Watch.

• Make sure to keep your devices close to each other when the syncing process starts
