Apple Watch ?????
 
I just received a new Apple Watch SE as a prize. As usual with electronics, all user stuff online. Trying my best to understand functions etc. basic stuff ok, but I think I’m missing a lot of functionalities.

Wondering if there is an Apple club or such to attend and learn. TIA.

Good luck you’ll need to put it on charger everyday comes to full charge in about 30min.
Health tracking is done by the iPhone health app. I’ve had mine for 2 years still learning.

Yes there is an apple club, and as soon as I find the link to the 3000+ clubs I will post it.

Don't know. Probably.

Barnes & Noble carries a book "Apple Watch for Senior Dummies" that is a good resource. Has helped me get acquainted with my Apple Watch. If you have an iPhone they also carry "iPhone for Senior Dummies" that explains extensively how they work together, how you can use your apple watch app on your iPhone to get the most out of your watch, etc. Good stuff.

Apple Stores have free classes in their stores on their products and services. You can look online for class topics and times. They have classes on their watches. I believe the closest Apple Store is Orlando.

Below is a link to the classes at the Apple Store at Millenia Mall in Orlando.

Today at Apple - Calendar - Millenia - Apple

It’s fun for me to look at the Apple goodies if in the store anyway. Millenia Mall is a nice mall with restaurants and stores so you might make a half-day event out of your trip.

Also you can Google for most functions. Or phone Apple tech support you are under warranty and they want you to be happy.

hmmmm it would be cheaper for me to hire someone in villages to teach me rather than go to the mall where I would end up spending a lot of money on clothes and sunglasses that I don’t need , I may be in my mid 80’s but I’m still a hopeless shopaholic

oh yes can’t shop without ending at Cheesecake Factory for great hamburger and a piece of chocolate cheesecake , I usually send friends a picture of them along with a picture of label on my new size 28 slim fit jeans, so people have a reason to hate me lol

Do you have an iPhone? Everything is setup using your phone not the watch.

The question is do you have an iPhone? It mirrors your iPhone, pairs with the phone, it walks you through all the steps as soon as you turn it on. If you don’t have an iPhone? I have no clue but on the apple website they have a video tutorial on nearly everything so I’d check there. Or YouTube.

I'm the OP. Yes I have an iPhone. I did Google, and youtube Apple Watch info re functions and such. Was helpful. The app of the AppleWatch on the iphone makes the difference for setup etc. I love the sleep function that monitors your sleep thruout the night. Shows your different stages - very interesting.

Thx all for your feedback.
