Apple Watch Models Compatible with iPhone 14

With an iPhone 14, you can pair any Apple Watch model, but the iOS version on your phone matters. The table below outlines the minimum iOS requirements for each Apple Watch model.

How to Pair Your Apple Watch with Your iPhone 14

If you already own an Apple Watch, you don’t need to upgrade to use it with your iPhone 14. Pairing the devices is straightforward, provided you follow these steps to prepare:

• Connect your iPhone 14 to the internet.
• Enable Bluetooth on your iPhone.
• Complete any pending iOS software updates.
• Back up your Apple Watch if it’s an older model.
• Keep your iPhone 14 and Apple Watch close together.

Now, follow these steps to pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone 14:

1. Download the Watch app from the App Store on your iPhone 14.
2. Turn on your Apple Watch and wear it on your wrist.
3. Look for the prompt on your iPhone: “Use your iPhone to set up this Apple Watch.”
4. Tap Continue. If you don’t see the prompt, open the Watch app to start the pairing process.
5. Select “Set Up for Myself” if the watch is for you, or “Set Up for a Family Member” if it’s for someone else.
6. Align the Apple Watch face with the viewfinder on your iPhone’s screen when prompted. Manual pairing is an option but takes longer.

Complete the setup with these final steps:

1. For a new Apple Watch, set it up as new. For an older watch, restore from a backup.
2. Choose which wrist you’ll wear the watch on and accept the terms and conditions.
3. Sign in with your Apple ID (this can be done later if preferred).
4. Set a passcode for your Apple Watch (optional but required for features like Apple Pay).
