Ask Siri. “Turn on Airplane Mode.”

Turn on Airplane Mode. Swipe up on the watch face, swipe to the Settings glance, then tap the Airplane Mode button . When Airplane Mode is on, you’ll see at the top of the screen.

The Settings glance where you can see the connection status of your watch and iPhone and set Airplane Mode, Do Not Disturb, and Mute. You can also ping your iPhone. Airplane Mode is selected and the status is Disconnected.

To place both Apple Watch and iPhone in Airplane Mode in one step, open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, go to General > Airplane Mode, then turn on Mirror iPhone. Then, any time you switch to Airplane Mode on one device, the other will switch to match.

Note: Even with Mirror iPhone turned on, you must turn off Airplane Mode separately on iPhone and Apple Watch.
