  • Perhaps you just got a new Apple Watch Series 5 and you're planning to sell your old Series 3. You need to disconnect your old Apple Watch from your iPhone and then connect the new one.
    In this video, I walk you through how to pair an Apple Watch to your iPhone, as well as how to unpair your old one and erase it. I’ll even show you how to connect and disconnect your Apple Watch over a cellular network such as AT&T or Verizon.

    I know this was an old one... however, your humor kept me in there to watch. Finally after a couple hours of messing with this watch, you got me calmed down and got me where I need to be pretty darn quick. You never know where you saved someone lots of heartache... but you did me. I graciously and humbly thank you.....
