Apple has published the official Apple Watch User Guide on its website, providing detailed information about the wrist-worn device broken down into categories such as Basics, Watch Faces, Notifications, Glances, Timekeeping, Messages, Digital Touch, Mail, Phone Calls, Calendars and Reminders, Health and Fitness, Apple Pay and Passbook, Maps and Directions, Music, Photos, Accessibility and more.
The user guide provides a wealth of information about the Apple Watch in one place for easy access, and should serve as a valuable resource for customers that pre-ordered the Apple Watch for delivery starting April 24. The user guide provides step-by-step information and visuals on a wide variety of topics from setting up your Apple Watch and pairing with an iPhone to using apps and tracking your daily activity.
There are also instructions on how to remove, change and fasten Apple Watch bands for the Classic Buckle, Leather Loop, Link Bracelet, Milanese Loop, Modern Buckle and Sport Band. Apple advises that leather bands be cleaned with a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth that is lightly dampened with fresh water and then air dried, while other bands can be dried using a nonabrasive, lint-free cloth.

Apple's iPhone development roadmap runs several years into the future and the company is continually working with suppliers on several successive iPhone models simultaneously, which is why we often get rumored features months ahead of launch.

Please let me do most of you a favor and pre-populate the comment section with the same tripe from all the whiners & haters these past few days:
* This guide is useless without the watch!!! * The next thing Apple will do is ask me to watch some educational videos!!! * Where is my watch? * I know Apple said mine won't ship until mid-May but I want it NOW!!! (stomps feet) * But but but but... my friend will get his watch before I will and I don't know what to do with my life now! * Apple scumbags! * Apple sucks! * Fire Angela! * Fire Tim! * Fire Steve! * I can't see because my panties are pulled up around my head at this point!!! * Where is my watch??? (stomps feet. again.) * Waaahhh!!!
This is nice. One tip I have found (at least for me) is when I need the device to be quite for a while (meeting) instead of Do Not Disturb just press and hold the side button and put it in Power Reserve. Seems like less steps and gives you additional power for later in the day. "Your typical two birds, one stone scenario"
