To do this, turn on Bluetooth on your iPhone, then put your Apple Watch near your iPhone. A message will appear on your iPhone asking if you want to set up your Apple Watch; tap “Continue” and follow the on-screen instructions.
Use the Apple Watch’s On-Screen Instructions
If you are not using Automatic Setup, you can use the Apple Watch’s on-screen instructions. To do this, power on your Apple Watch. You will be asked if you want to pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone; tap “Pair Apple Watch” and follow the instructions on the watch.
