Starting your Apple Watch Series 1 to begin using it is a simple process.
Turning On Your Apple Watch Series 1
To get your Apple Watch Series 1 powered on and ready for setup or use, follow these steps:
- Position the Watch: Begin by placing the Apple Watch on your wrist. Make sure the band is adjusted so it fits snugly but comfortably against your skin. This helps with various functions like heart rate monitoring and ensures proper contact for charging and interaction.
- Locate the Side Button: Find the side button on your Apple Watch. This is the flat, elongated button located below the Digital Crown on the side of the watch.
- Press and Hold: Press and hold the side button. Continue holding it down.
- Watch for the Apple Logo: Keep the button held until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen. Once the logo shows up, you can release the side button.
Seeing the Apple logo confirms that your Apple Watch Series 1 is powering on. The watch will then boot up fully. If it's the first time setting it up or if it's been erased, it will guide you through the pairing process with your iPhone.
It's important to note that this process is specifically for turning on the device. Starting the setup of a new watch involves additional steps after the device is powered on, typically using the Apple Watch app on a paired iPhone.
