About Apple Watch
A line of smartwatches called Apple Watch is manufactured by Apple Inc. It connects with iOS and other Apple services and devices and includes cellular telephony, fitness monitoring, and health-related features.
The Apple Watch may independently connect to a Wi-Fi network for some data-dependent operations, such as basic communications and audio streaming. The Apple Watch generally works in combination with the user’s iPhone for tasks like customizing the watch and synchronizing data with iPhone apps. After basic setup, LTE-equipped versions can connect to a mobile network for calling, texting, and data use for loaded mobile apps, greatly decreasing the requirement for an iPhone.
How To Turn Off Apple Watch
- Hold down the side button until the Power Off, Medical ID, and Emergency SOS slider options show.

When you want to turn it back on, press and hold the Side button again until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
