Introduction

Apple Watch Series 5, Apple’s latest wearable smartwatch, was released to the public not too long ago, which is credited as the best wearable tech Apple has released to date. The Series 5 model being the go-to smartwatch in the wearable tech space, generated lots of rave reviews mostly because of the prominent additions vis-à-vis the new features when compared to the Series 4 model. Some of the new features, for instance, provide users with a simplistic ability to closely monitor their health and wellness straight from their wrist – which is one of the core areas the series 5 model is built on. Right of the bat, Apple Watch 5 is designed to suit all age groups be it kids, teens, young adults, seniors, or the elderly– especially with the Fall Detection, which automatically dials Emergency SOS for help if no response is gotten.

You probably may have heard about these new features and other cool stuff the Apple Watch 5 can do, such as text messaging, making phone calls, using Siri, listening to music, etc. all from your wrist. However, if you don’t know how to set up these features and get them running, you will soon find yourself struggling with your new smartwatch - especially due to the watch’s small screen size and the absence of interactive buttons, among others.

If you have no clue how to get started, or how to use your Apple Watch 5 to its full potential, and you want a simple step by step guide to breeze through within seconds without going through hundreds of pages of tech jargons, then this book is for you. Having said this, let’s get started.

I hope you enjoy it!

The Evolution of the Apple Watch

It might interest you to know that Steve Jobs had nothing to do with how the Apple Watch came into existence. As a matter of fact, the smartwatch hit the market three and a half years after he passed on.

The major geniuses that gave rise to the creation of the Apple Watch were Jony Ive, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Design whom Jobs hired when he returned to Apple in 1997, and Kevin Lynch, the newly appointed Vice President of Technology at the time. Lynch was brought on board to drive the smartwatch project to completion, but he had no clue what the project was all about when he took up the position, and ironically, neither did anyone else.

The Lynch-led design team had one mission and one goal; create a user interface that provided the user with quick responses instead of a prolonged interaction. Having an idea of what they sought to develop was half the battle; however, designing the smartwatch was the most challenging and time-consuming task of all. Lynch joined the team at around early 2013. However, the first Apple Watch released to the market would not be available until about two years later.

Just as his predecessor Steve Jobs had done whenever a new Apple product is to be unveiled, in September of 2014,
