So! You have successfully purchased an Apple Watch, or you’re interested in how the setup process works. Either way, you are to be congratulated for your initiative and willingness to take a risk on a brand new platform, one that lives on your wrist and makes your wrist part of how you live. Also, it has a really great Mickey Mouse watch face.

We’re here to help. This article explains the major steps you will need to go through to set up and understand your new Apple Watch. It is virtually identical for all versions of the watch, from the least-expensive Sport on up to the Edition. Be warned that this workflow isn’t 100 percent comprehensive — these are the main things you’ll need to know to have a deep and fulfilling relationship with the new technology resting just above your hand.

It still spies on you, right?

How to set up the Apple Watch in 16 steps - Including one absolutely necessary cat video — PING!

Apple Watch setup Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

I was threatened by a member of Freerepublic, who is now no longer with us due to a well deserved ZOTTING, that if I post anything again, he will offer Jim Robinson $2000 to banish me permanently from Freerepublic on the grounds I am, according to him a "faggot," I am not homosexual, my girlfriend finds that uproariously hilarious, as do my two daughters. He claims this because I use Apple products and ping the 700 members of the Apple/Mac/iPhone/iPad/iOS ping list to articles about those topics. . . Which he maintained come from a "faggot" company. He maintained all Apple users are "faggots."

I challenge the members of the Apple ping list to each donate at least $10 each to the latest Freepathon to counter such extortion. I HAVE donated $100. Many members of the Apple Ping list are already rising to the challenge. Join them. Let's show the power of the Apple Ping list in supporting Freerepublic!

If you have ordered an Apple Watch,
MAKE A DONATION TO THE FREEPATHON!

Let us know if you have received your Apple Watch!

Wrong.

Wrong.

[Olog-hai]

This has been confirmed?

It still spies on you, right?

The watch, or the cat?

You’re confusing Apple with Google. Google has the business model for doing that. Apple’s business model is creating a platform for privacy. Apple actually has that as a selling point ... :-) ...

[Swordmaker]

This has been confirmed?

The iPhone does not spy on its owners and users. The Apple Watch is an accessory of the iPhone. Ergo, it does not spy on its owner. QED.

A question for you (in the same vein as your posts to this thread): Are you still beating your wife? Of course that’s a silly question just as your troll-like posts in this thread are. IMHO you need to get a life so you won’t feel compelled to try to spread your misery by trolling.

[Olog-hai]

Not trying to troll. I do not trust Tim Cook.

You might think you’re not trolling...but you are definitely trolling when you post canards about Apple products on these threads. There is no need for you to post such derogatory falsehoods.

Up next ...

[Olog-hai]

OK, then I’ll retract.

However, my trust for Tim Cook remains as before.

[JRandomFreeper]

I see assertions, but I see no proof.

And looking at their documentation isn't proof.

A sniff of the network while the device is on can sometimes point out 'unexpected' communications with unknown devices. If it's a different platform.

I'll wait for the guys that love doing that to see if spying is going on.
