Lock or unlock Apple Watch
Unlock Apple Watch
You can unlock Apple Watch manually, by entering the passcode, or set it to unlock automatically when you unlock your iPhone.
Enter the passcode: Wake Apple Watch, then enter the watch passcode.
Unlock Apple Watch when you unlock your iPhone: Go to the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Passcode, then turn on Unlock with iPhone.
Your iPhone must be within normal Bluetooth range (about 33 feet or 10 meters) of your Apple Watch to unlock it. If Bluetooth is off on Apple Watch, enter the passcode on your watch to unlock it.
Tip: Your Apple Watch passcode can be different from your iPhone passcode—in fact, it’s better to use different passcodes.
Change your passcode
You can change the passcode you created when you first set up your Apple Watch by following these steps:
