How to use an Apple Watch for Beginners

Charge your Apple Watch

W2 Stand for Apple Watch (Available in 9 Colors)

Nightstand Mode is a feature of the Apple Watch that turns the device into a bedside clock while it's charging. In order to enable this mode your watch needs to be resting on on it's side to trigger the large display digits. This is why an Apple Watch stand is essential so you can place it on the dock to charge and keep it in nightstand mode.

We love turning our Apple Watch into a nightstand and being able to easily read the time display from across the room. Turn your Apple Watch into a retro Macintosh, Gameboy, or your favorite MapleStory Monster with our various Apple Watch Stand designs available here. 

Know Your Coverage

While you can take your Apple Watch in for repairs to the screen or water damage and have it covered under your AppleCare, AppleCare does not cover cosmetic wear like scratches to the screen. That's why it's important to get a protective case and screen protector before you even unbox your Apple Watch to prevent scratches. It's also not too late to hide any new ones!

 

Get the Right Strap

Metal Apple Watch Strap for Apple Watch (Available in 3 Colors)

Are you using your Apple Watch for fitness, fashion, or casually? Based on it's primary use, this can influence the type of strap you get. While we recommend our moisture wicking Sport Apple Watch Strap for active runners and gym rats, this metal watch strap adds a luxurious, traditional designer watch feel to your Apple Watch. 

Finally, it's important to make sure you get the right size strap—so double check your wrist circumference. If your wrist is between about 130 and 200 mm (5.1 and 7.9 inches), get the Apple Watch 40 mm. For larger wrist sizes between 140 and 220 mm (5.5 to 8.7 inches) size up to the 44 mm Apple Watch Band.

Lucky for you, this heavy-weight and long-lasting aluminum metal strap comes with an adjustment kit so you can easily add or remove links yourself to get the perfect fitting Apple Watch.
