Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Apple Watch SE requires an iPhone with the latest iOS version for setup and operation. Simply bring your iPhone close to the watch, and a setup prompt will appear. Follow the on-screen instructions to pair your watch, choose settings, and customize your experience. Family Setup can be used to pair a child's watch to your iPhone.
Compatibility: Requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later.
Care: To clean the watch case and band, use a soft, lint-free cloth. If necessary, lightly dampen the cloth with fresh water. Avoid soaps, detergents, or abrasive materials. Ensure the watch is dry before charging. The sport band can be rinsed with fresh water and dried with a lint-free cloth.
Water Resistance: The Apple Watch SE is water-resistant up to 50 meters. It is suitable for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. It should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth. The case is designed to be splash, sweat, and rain-resistant.
