Setting Up year Apple Watch without iPhone

I have a Apple Watch Sport 38mm, I bought 2 days ago, but I don't have an iPhone 5 or above. I read online that you can use an Apple Watch without an iPhone but only get the basic functionality. It's not bad so I bought a Apple Watch. When I've been setting up the Apple Watch, he said to pair an iPhone but I can't. Is it possible to ignore matching overall upward or do I have to buy an iPhone?

Hello

I'm not afraid - you need an iPhone 5 or later running iOS 9 or a later version to put in place Apple Watch.

It cannot be put in place, combined or synchronized independently or using any other iOS (including iPad) or other Apple devices.

  • How far can my Apple Watch my iphone work?

    What is the approximate maximum distance for the connection between the Apple Watch and a 6s iphone bluetooth +?

    Hello

    Normal Bluetooth range is about 10 meters/33 feet. Actual range varies in practice because of wireless interference, but you don't need necessarily to have your iPhone on or just around you (scope of arms, for example) for devices to keep their Bluetooth connection.

    Your watch may also exercise certain functions when it is not connected to your iPhone, including some that are available when your watch is connected to a known Wi - Fi network.

    When the pair iPhone is not included and your watch is not connected to the Wi - Fi, you can always:

    • Play music from a playlist synchronized on your watch.
    • Use the watch for the time, as well as alarms, stopwatches and the clock.
    • Keep track of your activity (Stand, Move, exercise) with the application of the activity.
    • Follow the workouts with the application of the workout.
    • View photos of the synced photo album.
    • Use Apple pay for shopping.

    If your watch is disconnected from your watch, but within range of a WiFi (2.4 GHz) your iPhone plugged in before, the watch can connect to this network and you can also still:

    • Send and receive messages using iMessage.
    • Send and receive digital messages Touch.
    • Use Siri.
    • Make and receive phone calls if you have calls enabled Wi - Fi (depending on your operator).

  • I would like to receive a notification on my Apple Watch and iPhone simultaneously the messages/IM; not one or the other.

    I would like to receive a notification on my Apple Watch and iPhone simultaneously the messages/IM; not one or the other.

    I understand that if my Apple Watch is unlocked (or on my wrist) incoming Message notifications will be displayed on my watch. This allows to bypass the notification on my iPhone for messages.  I would like to find a way for Message notifications to simultaneously alert me on my iPhone and Apple Watch.

    Thoughts?

    Hello

    If you disable the detection of wrist (on your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: Watch My > General > wrist detection), it will make all notification alerts to be delivered to both devices. However, you will not be able to benefit from features including screen Wake on wrist lift, Apple pay and one unblock after placing the watch on your wrist.

    If you want Apple to consider adding an option for notification alerts to be delivered for both devices regardless of the other settings, you can suggest here:

  • Impossible to set reminder on Apple Watch

    I find that I can no longer use Siri on Apple Watch to set a reminder.  It is always just said 'a second... '. "and then tells me it cannot set the reminder (no further details given).

    If I try the same thing on the iPhone, it works fine.  Note: I do not geolocation for reminder, just a normal daily reminder.

    I re-pair my Apple Watch to see if it would help.  There can be no.

    What I'm missing here?  Something that "might" be in game is I have Outlook calendar of the work used on my iPhone but is not the default calendar and I do not use Outlook for reminders.  And so that was important, why can I create reminders with the iPhone and not watch?

    Hello

    Restart your watch.

    1. Hold down the side button until you see the cursor off the power.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device.
    3. Once your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.

    And restart your iPhone.

    1. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device completely off.
    3. Once the device turns off, press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

    Then see if Siri can set a reminder.

    Set a reminder. Use Siri on Apple Watch. Press in and hold the digital Crown, then talk. Or just increase your wrist and say 'Hey Siri, set a reminder'. You can also set reminders on iPhone or other iOS or Mac device that is signed using your Apple ID.

    Ask Siri. 'Set a reminder to 05:00.'
