How to use a private MAC address on Apple Watch

First, you need to make sure your Apple Watch has been updated to watchOS 7 or later. Additionally, your paired iPhone must be running iOS 14 or higher. Once you've checked this, just follow the steps below.

1. Press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch to access the Home screen. Scroll and find the Settings app. Click on it to continue.

   

2. In the Settings menu, scroll down and tap "Wi-Fi" just below Cellular Networks, as you can see here.

   

3. Next, tap the Wi-Fi network your Apple Watch is currently connected to.

   

4. Now, if you scroll down to the bottom, you will find the Private Address feature. Click the toggle switch to enable it.

   

5. Before private addressing is turned on on your Apple Watch, you will be warned that your device will be temporarily disconnected from the Wi-Fi network. Click "Disconnect" to confirm.

   

That’s all. Your Apple Watch will now reconnect to the Wi-Fi network using the new private Wi-Fi address.

It's worth pointing out that every time you disable and re-enable the private MAC address feature, the network will use a new Wi-Fi address. This is why you are prompted to reconnect to the Wi-Fi network. Resetting the network settings on your device will also change the private Wi-Fi address it uses to connect.
