So your Apple Watch just arrived in the mail. Now what? The first thing you’ll need to do with the device is to run through its initial setup with help of a compatible iPhone (at least iPhone 5 or later).

The process is rather simple and you should have it completed in no time, although it still might be problematic for some people. That’s why Apple is offering buyers the option of choosing a special online setup appointment for the Apple Watch right away.

As 9to5Mac reports, customers who are receiving their Apple Watch units today are getting invites for such online personal setup appointments via email, and they’re good for any model, including the more affordable Sport one.

Apple Watch owners can then schedule online appointments, assuming there are Apple Watch specialists available who will guide them through the setup process and offer some handy Apple Watch tips and tricks as well.
