Keeping your data safe:
Watchla holds your privacy and its transparency to the highest level and therefore Watchla does not accept your account credentials as a form of sign in. Watchla will never see, process or store your Tesla account email or password.
Instead, Watchla offers the ability to Sign in with Tesla right from Watchla’s iOS companion app. Sign in with Tesla is a secure method of signing in that allows you to authenticate your Tesla account directly on Tesla’s website. Once authenticated, you will be automatically signed into Watchla with your Tesla account both on the iOS and Apple Watch app.

Disclaimer:
Watchla is an authorized 3rd party Tesla watch app, it is not owned or endorsed by Tesla Inc. Watchla utilizes Tesla’s Fleet API and Bluetooth protocol to safely & securely provide you with remote access to your Tesla from your Apple Watch. The Watchla Apple watch app is an independent watch app and (aside from signing in) doesn't need its iOS companion app to perform normally. To retrieve vehicle data and send commands while out of Bluetooth range, the watch app needs a connection to the internet. Bluetooth functionality, including Watch Key, will continue to work without internet. Using Bluetooth and Tesla Key functionality is subject to vehicle compatibility.
TLDR; yes, you can use a Wi-Fi only Apple Watch to control your Tesla without your phone nearby if your Tesla is included in the list below :)
Tesla vehicles compatible with Bluetooth & Tesla Apple Watch Key support:
- Model 3
- Model Ys
- Cybertruck
- Model S (year 2021 or newer)
- Model X (year 2021 or newer)
Download Watchla, the ultimate Tesla watch app and experience total control over your Tesla, from the convenience of your wrist.

What’s New
Version 4.1.1
Watchla can now:
- Send Siri Shortcut commands over Bluetooth
- Receive vehicle data over Bluetooth
When the Watchla Apple Watch app is nearby your vehicle, it will exclusively use Bluetooth. This makes retrieving vehicle data significantly faster and eliminates reliance on internet connectivity to near 0 when near the vehicle, providing for a great offline watch experience.
This is the second part in our multi-part V4 update. More to come :)
PS: in case you missed our last update, you can also now send all commands over Bluetooth from the watch app.
Ratings and Reviews
Phone Connects, Watch Doesn’t
Was great when I first go it however lately the watch app seems to have problems loading any data. When it finally appears to get any info it just crashes. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Amazing App!
This watch app works really well once you’ve got it set up as a key in your car. I can now walk up to the car and open the door without my phone which is quite useful if you happen to leave the phone in the house for any reason and maybe need to open the trunk or frunk. There’s also a whole load of Siri commands which it does from the watch (or phone) and these can be customised to your own phrase. I especially liked being able to customise the 5 icons on the watch app for controlling functions like switching on Sentry mode etc. Lots of added functions for watch faces as well that have several complications. All in all great value! Highly recommended!
No more worries
I was about to buy a Tesla key (for £170) as I was concerned about my phone running out of battery (or being left behind). It took a few mins to download and set up the app to register my watch as a new key.
I then left my phone behind, touched nothing on the watch or phone and walked up to the car. Door opening as if I had my phone with me. Yah!
The other features are great - especially charge port opening. I had no intention of using the rest of the features, but I now have my mileage as a complication on my watch which is really useful. Tapping on that then opens up all of the other features. Using it all way more than I thought I would.
Great job on this app! Love it!
