To turn on your Apple Watch Ultra, press and hold the side button (the larger button on the right side of the watch) until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Locate the Side Button: The side button is the larger, elongated button on the right side of your Apple Watch Ultra, opposite the Digital Crown.
-
Press and Hold: Press and hold the side button firmly. Don't just tap it; you need to maintain pressure.
-
Wait for the Apple Logo: Continue holding the button down. After a few seconds, the Apple logo should appear on the watch face.
-
Release the Button: Once you see the Apple logo, you can release the side button. The watch will now boot up.
-
If It Doesn't Turn On:
-
Check the Battery: If your Apple Watch Ultra doesn't turn on, the battery might be dead. Connect it to its magnetic charging cable and a power source. Let it charge for at least 30 minutes, and then try turning it on again.
-
Force Restart (if necessary): If charging doesn't resolve the issue and the watch is unresponsive, you can try a force restart. To do this, press and hold both the side button and the Digital Crown simultaneously for at least 10 seconds, or until you see the Apple logo.
-
-
Once On: If this is the first time turning on the watch, you will need to pair it with your iPhone. Follow the on-screen instructions. If you've already paired it, the watch will simply resume its previous state.
In summary, a long press of the side button should turn on your Apple Watch Ultra, assuming it has sufficient battery. If it doesn't, charge it first and then try again.
