Apple Watches use Bluetooth to connect to iPhones, so make sure to turn on your iPhone's Bluetooth function. After you&#39;ve paired the devices, use the Apple Watch app on your iPhone to communicate with your Apple Watch, customizing notifications, adding preset messages, and more. There are ways to troubleshoot when your Apple Watch won't pair, and a method to follow when you want to unpair your iPhone and Apple Watch.

The speaker isn't particularly strong, so you may not want to make Apple Watch calls all the time. Still, talking into your watch has a certain Dick Tracy feel and is a fun way to use your new device. It's also easy to make FaceTime audio calls on your Apple watch.

Some of those updates are small and meant to patch small bugs or security issues. Other updates are big&nbsp;and involve a complete overhaul of Apple's watchOS. There&#39;s a little more to Apple Watch software updates than updating an iPhone or iPad, such as making sure the Watch is connected to Wi-Fi and your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS.
