To begin using your Apple Watch Ultra 2, first ensure your iPhone is updated to iOS 18 or later. The watch is compatible with iPhone Xs or later, and iPhone SE (2nd generation or later). Pair the watch by opening the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and following the on-screen instructions.

For care, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is designed for high durability, being swim-proof, dust-resistant, and scratch-resistant due to its titanium case and sapphire front crystal. Regularly clean the watch and band with a soft, lint-free cloth. After exposure to water, particularly saltwater, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and dry it completely. The strap is easily removable and replaceable, allowing for simple cleaning or customization with other compatible Apple Watch bands. Always avoid exposing the charging cable to liquids. Charge your device using the included Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable.
