Apple Watch has become an essential gadget for many, offering a wide range of functionalities from health tracking to notifications. However, one common question that often arises is how to turn on or off your Apple Watch. This guide will provide you with a step-by-step process to turn on, turn off, and put your Apple Watch into sleep mode.
Turning on Your Apple Watch
To turn on your Apple Watch, follow these simple steps:
1. Press the side button (also known as the Digital Crown) until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
2. Wait for the watch to boot up and display the home screen.
Your Apple Watch is now ready to use. If you have a Series 2 or newer model, you can also use the “raise to wake” feature, which automatically turns on the watch when you lift it up to your face.
Turning off Your Apple Watch
To turn off your Apple Watch, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the side button until the “Power Off” slider appears on the screen.

It is important to note that turning off your Apple Watch will disconnect it from your iPhone, and you will need to reconnect them when you turn it back on.
Putting Your Apple Watch into Sleep Mode
Putting your Apple Watch into sleep mode is a great way to save battery life when you are not using it. Here’s how to do it:
1. Press the side button until the “Power Off” slider appears on the screen.
2. Instead of dragging the slider, press the side button again to cancel the power off process.
3. Your Apple Watch will now enter sleep mode, indicated by a dimmed screen and a small clock icon on the bottom.
To wake your Apple Watch from sleep mode, simply press the side button or raise the watch to your face.
Additional Tips
– If your Apple Watch is frozen or unresponsive, you can force restart it by holding the side button and Digital Crown together for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
– To turn off the “raise to wake” feature, go to the “Settings” app on your watch, tap “General,” then “Accessibility,” and toggle off “Raise to Wake.”
– Regularly check your Apple Watch’s battery level by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to access the Control Center and looking for the battery icon.
By following these steps, you should now have a better understanding of how to turn on, turn off, and put your Apple Watch into sleep mode. Enjoy the convenience and functionality that your Apple Watch has to offer!
