Apple still supports pairing more than one Apple Watch with a single iPhone. However, I could not find a current Apple Support document that states a specific maximum of five watches. Apple’s current documentation simply says that you can pair “more than one Apple Watch” and switch between them.


Apple’s current watchOS 27 guide says:

“You can pair more than one Apple Watch with your iPhone and easily switch from one watch to another.”

It also gives the procedure: Apple Watch app → My Watch → All Watches → Add Watch.

I did not find a specific number mentioned for how many Apple Watches can be paired to one iPhone.


...

You can pair another Apple Watch in the same way you paired your first one. Bring your iPhone near your Apple Watch, wait for the Apple Watch pairing screen to appear on your iPhone, then tap Pair. Or follow these steps:


  1. Go to the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap My Watch, then tap All Watches at the top of the screen.
  3. Tap Add Watch, then follow the onscreen instructions.
