Can I pair my Apple Watch with my iPad?

If you use an Apple Watch, you have the option to pair it with your iPhone. You will then receive messages and calls through your Watch. In addition, data for certain apps can be exchanged between the devices. It may also be possible to connect it to an iPad.

How to connect the Apple Watch to your iPad

The Apple Watch offers you numerous functions that you can use to monitor your health. If you do not have an iPhone available, then the obvious assumption is that you connect the Watch with an iPad. However, this is not possible. The connection only works with the help of an iPhone. Alternatively, you can use the integration function, with which you can accept phone calls between your devices, but also unlock devices.
