No, the Apple Watch doesn't work with the iPad — here's are all the ways to properly use an Apple Watch - Business Insider

The Apple Watch is one of Apple’s most popular accessories. It’s built to assist you with nearly every aspect of your daily life, from exercising to sleeping.

However, it’s not always clear what sort of devices the Apple Watch can connect to. If you’re an avid Apple user, you might wonder if you can connect the Watch to your iPad, as well as your iPhone.

Here’s everything you need to know.

Check out the products mentioned in this article:

iPad (From $329.99 at Best Buy)

iPhone 11 (From $699.99 at Best Buy)

Apple Watch Series 5 (From $399 at Best Buy)

Your Apple Watch won’t work with an iPad – here are the devices that the Apple Watch works with

In brief: No, the Apple Watch won’t work with an iPad. The Apple Watch is designed to be paired with an iPhone, and isn’t compatible with the iPad in any way.

It’s not even possible to install the Watch app on the iPad, since Apple has ensured that it won’t appear in the App Store when you search for it using an iPad. This may be disappointing news for people who don’t have iPhones but do carry an iPad.

And unfortunately, Apple hasn’t indicated any intention to update the Apple Watch so it can be paired and used with an iPad.

The Apple Watch isn’t a standalone device, either – most models require an iPhone 5S or later for initial setup, as well as installing watch faces and apps. The Apple Watch Series 5 and cellular versions of the Apple Watch require an iPhone 6 or later.

The Watch also needs to stay paired with an iPhone throughout the day for many common tasks, since a lot of features rely on the greater processing power of the iPhone to work properly. For example, Siri on the Apple Watch won’t work if your Apple Watch isn’t near your iPhone.

Apple Watch models with cellular connectivity have somewhat greater autonomy. A Watch with a cellular connection can place phone calls and text messages, as well as stream music, for example.
