Setting up your Apple Watch

How to pair your Apple Watch with the Verge iOS app and authorise HealthKit.

Apple Watch gives Verge the deepest, real-time experience. Setup takes about 3 minutes.

  1. Install the Verge app from the App Store (link goes live 15 June 2026).
  2. Open the app and sign in with your CalmHQ account.
  3. When prompted, tap Allow on each HealthKit permission. Verge requests heart rate, HRV, blood oxygen, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, sleep, and motion.
  4. The companion Verge Watch app will install automatically on your paired Apple Watch.
  5. Open the Watch app once, tap Allow on any prompts, and you're done.

From now on, the Watch streams live data to your phone whenever the Verge app is open or a session is active.

Apple Watch Series 6 or later is recommended for full sensor support (especially blood oxygen and wrist temperature). Earlier models still work for heart rate + HRV.
