Chapter 1: Unboxing, Setup, and Customization

It’s important to remember that while the Apple Watch SE 3 may seem like a small device, its setup process is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly, even for those new to Apple products. With that in mind, we’ll start from the very beginning and walk through each part of the setup process so that you’re comfortable with every feature and function. By the time we finish, you’ll feel confident navigating your new watch and customizing it to suit your personal preferences.

If you’ve used an Apple Watch before, you may already be familiar with the unboxing process, but even seasoned users will find something new in this guide. The SE 3 brings a few upgrades that are worth exploring, and we’ll make sure you don’t miss any of them. Plus, for those of you new to Apple Watches, this chapter will help you feel like a pro right from the start.

What’s in the Box

The unboxing experience is the first step in your journey with the Apple Watch SE 3, and Apple has carefully designed this process to ensure that it’s straightforward, pleasant, and visually appealing. Once you open the box, the first thing you’ll notice is how sleek and compact the packaging is—just like the Apple Watch itself. Inside, everything is neatly organized, and Apple has included everything you need to get started, all presented in an easy-to-access manner.

When you open the box, you’ll find:

The Apple Watch SE 3

: Your new smartwatch, ready to be set up and explored.

Magnetic Charging Cable

: A USB-C charging cable, which can be plugged into a compatible power adapter or computer for charging. The Apple Watch SE 3 uses a magnetic charging system, so the charging cable has a magnetic disc that attaches to the back of your watch, ensuring easy and secure charging.

Quick Start Guide

: Apple includes a basic guide that explains how to get started with your new watch. While we’ll walk you through all the setup steps in detail here, this guide can serve as a handy reference for quick tips.

Watch Bands

: The Apple Watch SE 3 comes with a standard band that can be swapped out for other bands if you wish to customize the look or feel of your watch. You’ll find that the SE 3 is compatible with all of Apple’s bands, whether you prefer a sport band, leather, or stainless steel.

Warranty Information

: Apple includes a warranty card, which covers your device in case of any defects or issues that may arise during the first year. Be sure to keep this document in a safe place.

When you’ve removed everything from the box, take a moment to appreciate how everything is neatly packed and carefully designed. Apple is known for its attention to detail, and the unboxing experience sets the tone for the quality and care you’ll find in the product itself.

Charging and Powering On

Before we dive into the setup, it’s important to make sure your Apple Watch is charged and ready to go. You may notice that your Apple Watch SE 3 doesn’t come fully charged, so the first thing you’ll want to do is plug it in and give it some juice.

Connect the Magnetic Charging Cable

: Take the magnetic charging cable that came with your watch and plug the USB end into a power source. You can use a

wall adapter

(preferably one with a USB-C port), or if you have a

Mac

or

PC

with a USB-C port, you can plug it into that. Apple’s charger uses

magnetic charging

, meaning you simply place the small round disc on the back of your watch, and it will attach magnetically to charge your device. The magnets ensure that the charger stays in place, so you don’t have to worry about it slipping off.

Charging Status

: You’ll know your Apple Watch is charging when the

battery indicator

shows up on the screen. When fully charged, the watch can last for about

18 hours

depending on your usage, but for now, plug it in for at least 30 minutes to make sure it has enough charge to get through the initial setup.

Powering On

: To turn on your Apple Watch, press and hold the

side button

(the flat button beneath the Digital Crown) for a few seconds. You should see the Apple logo appear on the screen, followed by the

watchOS startup screen

. This means your watch is ready to be paired with your iPhone.
