Apple Watch does not support multiple users. Each watch is intended for a single individual’s use. To switch users, you must unpair and reset the device, then set it up with another iPhone. This ensures that personal data, health metrics, and preferences stay private and personalized. For families, consider Family Setup, which lets you manage Apple Watches for others, like children or older adults, without needing their own iPhone, although this is not the same as multi-user support.
