To prepare an APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 for a person in your family who doesn’t have an iPhone, tap Set Up for a Family Member.

Your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 comes with both stylish and functional watch faces. To switch to a different face, touch and hold the display, then swipe left or right across the screen. To see even more available faces, swipe left until you see the plus icon, tap the button, then scroll through the faces.

Your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 comes with a variety of apps. To open an app, press the Digital Crown to go to the Home Screen, then tap the app icon. To return to the Home Screen, press the Digital Crown again. You can download more apps from the App Store on your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6.

Control Center on your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 gives you instant access to silent mode, Do Not Disturb, Wi-Fi, flashlight, and more. To open Control Center, press the side button.

Your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 tracks how much you move, how often you stand up, and how long you exercise each day through three colored rings. Set goals in the Activity app, then check your progress throughout the day. You can scroll down for more details like your total steps and distance. Your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 lets you know when you’ve completed a goal.

Open the Workout app, then tap the type of workout you want, such as a run or swim. You can customize your workout view so the metrics you want to track are just a glance away. If you forget to start a workout, your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 can remind you to record it and give you credit for the exercise you’ve already done.

With the Sleep app on your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6, you can create a sleep schedule, set a sleep duration goal, and review your recent sleep history. You can even see estimates of how much time you spent in REM, Core, or Deep sleep, as well as when you might have woken up. While you sleep, your watch also tracks metrics like blood oxygen, heart rate, time asleep, and respiratory rate. To get started, open the Sleep app on your watch and follow the onscreen instructions, then wear your watch to bed.

You can enable notifications from the Heart Rate app on your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 to alert you to high or low heart rates, as well as irregular heart rhythms that may be suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AFib). If you have already been diagnosed with AFib, you can turn on AFib History to see an estimate of how frequently your heart is in this arrhythmia. You can also turn on alerts for low cardio fitness.

The Medications app helps you keep track of your medications, vitamins, and supplements. First, add your medications to the Health app on your iPhone. Then, you can log them on your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6.

The Mindfulness app can help you build emotional awareness by identifying your feelings. To do this, open the Mindfulness app, tap State of Mind, then log your momentary emotions and daily moods.

Use the Cycle Tracking app to log daily information about your menstrual cycle. Your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 uses that information to provide period and fertile window predictions. In addition to data you’ve logged, Cycle Tracking can use heart rate data to improve predictions.

In addition to using the Digital Crown and side button, you can use these basic gestures:

• Tap: Touch one finger lightly on the screen.

• Swipe: Move one finger across the screen—up, down, left, or right.

• Drag: Move one finger across the screen without lifting.

To charge your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6, follow these steps:

Set up the charger:

1. In a well-ventilated area, place your charger or charging cable on a flat surface.

2. Plug the charging cable into the power adapter (sold separately).

3. Plug the adapter into a power outlet.

Begin charging:

Place the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable on the back of your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6. The concave end of the charging cable magnetically snaps to the back and aligns it properly.

Your watch plays a chime when charging begins (unless in silent mode) and a charging symbol appears on the watch face. The symbol is red when power is needed and turns green when charging. When in Low Power Mode, the symbol is yellow.

You can charge your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 in a flat position with its band open, or on its side.

To see the remaining power, press the side button to open Control Center. For quicker access, you can add a battery complication to the watch face.

You can save battery life by turning on Low Power Mode. This turns off Always On Display, background heart rate and blood oxygen measurements, and heart rate notifications. Other notifications may be delayed, and certain cellular and Wi-Fi connections are limited.

To turn on Low Power Mode:

1. Press the side button to open Control Center.

2. Tap the battery percentage, then turn on Low Power Mode.

3. To confirm your choice, scroll down, then tap Turn On. You can also choose to turn it on for 1, 2, or 3 days.

Low Power Mode will automatically turn off when the battery is charged to 80%.

• Turn on: If your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 is off, press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.

• Turn off: Normally, you’ll leave your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 on. If you need to turn it off, press and hold the side button until the sliders appear, tap the power icon at the top right, then slide the Power Off slider to the right.

Note: You can’t turn off your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 while it’s charging. Disconnect it from the charger first.

By default, you can wake the display of your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 in these ways:

• Raise your wrist. The watch sleeps again when you lower your wrist.

• Tap the display or press the Digital Crown.

• Turn the Digital Crown upward.

If you don’t want your watch to wake when you raise your wrist or turn the Digital Crown, open the Settings app, go to Display & Brightness, then turn off Wake on Wrist Raise and Wake On Crown Rotation.

You can unlock your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 manually by entering the passcode, or set it to unlock automatically when you unlock your iPhone.

For optimal performance, your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 should fit closely on your wrist. The back of the watch needs skin contact for features like wrist detection, haptic notifications, and the heart rate sensor. Wearing your watch with the right fit—not too tight, not too loose, and with room for your skin to breathe—keeps you comfortable and lets the sensors work correctly.

1. Open the App Store app on your watch.

2. Turn the Digital Crown to browse featured apps and collections.

3. Tap a collection to see more apps.

4. To get a free app, tap Get. To buy an app, tap the price.

To find a specific app, tap the search icon at the top left of the screen, then type, use Scribble, or use dictation to enter the name of the app.

Control Center gives you an easy way to check your battery, silence your watch, choose a Focus, and more.

• Open Control Center: Press the side button once.

• Close Control Center: With Control Center open, turn your wrist away from you or press the side button again.

If something isn’t working right, you can try restarting your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 and its paired iPhone.

Handling: Handle your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 with care. It contains sensitive electronic components and can be damaged if dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed. Avoid heavy exposure to dust or sand.

Repairing: Do not open your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 or attempt to repair it yourself. Disassembling it may cause damage, result in loss of water resistance, and may cause injury.

Exposure to liquid: Your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 is water resistant but not waterproof. You may wear it during exercise, in the rain, and while washing your hands. If water splashes onto the watch, wipe it off with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. Avoid exposing it to perfume, soap, solvents, detergents, acids, insect repellent, lotions, sunscreen, oil, or hair dye.

Your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. However, it should not be used for scuba diving, water skiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth.

Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time. To avoid affecting water resistance:

• Do not drop the watch or subject it to other impacts.

• Do not expose the watch to soap or soapy water (e.g., in the shower or bath).

• Do not expose the watch to perfume, solvents, detergents, acids, insect repellent, lotions, sunscreen, oil, or hair dye.

• Do not expose the watch to high-velocity water (e.g., while water skiing).

• Do not wear the watch in a sauna or steam room.

Cleaning and care: Keep your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 clean and dry. Clean and dry the watch, the band, and your skin after workouts or heavy sweating. To clean:

1. Turn off the watch.

2. Remove the band.

3. Wipe the watch clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water.

4. Dry the watch with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth.

Operating temperature: Your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 is designed to work best in ambient temperatures between 32° and 95° F (0° and 35° C). Storing or operating it outside of these temperature ranges can damage it and shorten battery life.

For best results, use only Apple-branded or Apple-authorized bands.

How to clean Apple-branded bands: Remove the band from your APPLE WATCH SERIES 6 before cleaning. This cleaning information applies to Apple-branded bands only. For other bands, follow the care information provided with the band.

• For leather portions of the bands: Wipe them clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with fresh water if necessary. After cleaning, let the band air dry thoroughly before reattaching. Do not store leather bands in direct sunlight, at high temperatures, or in high humidity. Do not soak leather bands in water, as they are not water resistant.

• For all other bands and clasps: Wipe them clean with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with fresh water if necessary. Dry the band thoroughly with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth before reattaching. Stainless steel bands are not water resistant.
