Let's get started!
1. Update your iPhone: Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS (Settings > General > Software Update).

3. Turn on your Apple Watch: Press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.
4. Pair your devices: Hold your Apple Watch close to your iPhone and follow the onscreen instructions. You'll use your iPhone's camera to scan the watch face.
5. Set up your watch: Choose to set up as a new watch or restore from a backup.
6. Sign in and secure: Sign in with your Apple ID and create a passcode for your watch.
7. Customise your settings: Choose your preferred settings for text size, wrist preference, and health data.
8. Activate Smartwatch Share:
o Open the My3 app on your iPhone.
o If you already have Smartwatch Share, you'll be prompted to accept the service and activate it.
o If you haven't purchased Smartwatch Share yet, you can do so easily within the My3 app.
9. Wait for activation: Your smartwatch will connect to the Three network. This may take up to 30 minutes.
10. Enjoy the connection! Once activated, you can make calls, send texts, and use data, all from your watch!
Switching to a new iPhone?
If you get a new iPhone, you can easily transfer your Apple Watch and Smartwatch Share. Just make sure:
· Both your old and new iPhones are connected to Wi-Fi.
· Your Apple Watch and iPhones are at least 50% charged.
· You know your Apple Watch passcode.
Then, follow the onscreen instructions to unpair your watch from your old iPhone and pair it with your new one. You'll also need to reactivate Smartwatch Share on your new iPhone through the My3 app.
