How to Rename Your Apple Watch

The Apple Watch uses your name and the model in the device name. That’s great if there’s only one person in your family with your name or if you only have one of each product. But if those two conditions don’t apply, then what? Here’s how to change your Apple Watch’s name to whatever works in your world using your iPhone. Once you’ve updated your Apple Watch name, you can change it again at any time. If you add multiple Apple Watches or share your account with someone else, you’ll always know whose Watch belongs to whom.

Why Rename Your Apple Watch?

There might be many reasons you want to change the name of your Apple Watch. Apple’s naming system might not work for you if you’re looking for an easier way to identify your device when you’re trying to connect it to a network or other devices or because you think it’s way more fun to name your inanimate objects after characters from your favorite movie, Renaming your Apple Watch can help you display your personality and makes it easier to find your device if that’s something you often do or if there are multiple Apple Watches connected to your network.
