Apple watch is the extension of the iPhone and just a phone accessory, but it is the futuristic phone, which will have seamless extension, interconnecting with plenty of devices. Apple inspires the users to look into the smaller screen than the iPhone display, while the initial installation of Apple watch is almost like a software or peripheral installation, on a computer.

How to pair Apple SmartWatch with Apple iPhone?

Within 20 minutes, you can complete the pairing process. It may be time-consuming, but Apple makes it interesting by linking with the camera feature. Remember, the Apple watch cannot be paired with phones other than iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, with iOS 8.2.

Automatic method:

Try the automatic pairing method, it is easy and it will work

· Get ready by turning on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity of the iPhone.

· Charge the Apple watch, even though it reaches you in full charge.

· Turn the watch on, by pressing a button on the side of the watch. The screen becomes lively with Apple’s logo and you can select the language of your choice before proceeding.

· If you have updated your iPhone to iOS 8.2 or more, your flagship has the pre-installed Apple Watch app. Once you choose the preferred language, a message appears on the watch screen to open the app on the iPhone.

· Simply hold the watch in front of the iPhone camera and see that the screen alignment is pretty good. (Check with the box, outlined with yellow color, on the phone screen)

· Follow the instructions appear on the watch. If the pairing is done, you get intimation with an animated decorative graphic.

Manual Paring:

If you find it hard to go with the automatic method, use the manual pairing and the steps are:

· Install Apple watch app on the Apple phone

· Touch ‘Start Pairing’ on the screen

· Touch ‘Pair Apple Watch Manually’, found on the end of the Camera ViewFinder Page

· Touch the icon ‘i’ on the Watch and you can find a name

· Touch and choose the same name on your Apple watch app on the iPhone

· Simply proceed with the instructions on the app

Once you are done with the setup, you should accept the terms and conditions, while Siri approves the process through iCloud. This step is mandatory, as you have to generate a password, which should be not less than four digits, to ensure security of the watch when it is not on your wrist. You can also unlock your watch through your iPhone, if you accept to do so.

If you unpair them, the data are wiped away and everything starts over again, yet the iPhone has automatic local backup to restore, except for the Apple pay data.
