Track your progress over time on iPhone.
Apple Watch lets you see your daily activity at a glance.
To see your progress and trends over longer periods of time, there’s Fitness - an Apple Watch companion app on your iPhone. You can view your activity history, workouts, and achievements by the day, the week, and the month.
And it’s easy to zoom in on the details to see just how far you’ve come.
There’s also a Health app on iPhone that allows you to share your activity and workout data with your favorite third-party health and fitness apps.

Taking advantage of its location on your wrist,
Apple Watch provides timely information that can be viewed at a glance.
Smart Replies and dictation let you respond quickly to messages, and with Handoff, you can start a message on your
Apple Watch and continue where you left off on your
iPhone.
Swipe up from the watch face for Glances that quickly show you information you care about, such as your current location, stocks or your next meeting.
|
Start on Apple Watch. Continue on iPhone.
Apple Watch is perfect for quick interactions, but if you need to do something more involved, just pick up your iPhone.
The message you were reading or app you were using on Apple Watch will be open and ready to go.
Read new mail on Apple Watch, then respond on iPhone.
See a sports score or news update on Apple Watch, and read more about it on iPhone.

Pressing the side button brings up Friends, a view of your favorite people, so you can contact them quickly and easily.
Digital Touch allows you to send a sketch, a gentle tap, an audio message through
Walkie Talkie or even your own heartbeat.
Apple Watch lets you interact quickly and conveniently with the world around you, so you can pay for coffee using
Apple Pay™ (Apple Pay is only available in the US), board a plane with a
Passbook® boarding pass, control your
Apple TV® or get directions.

Apple Watch includes a groundbreaking
Activity app designed to help motivate you to be more active throughout the day, and an all-new Workout app designed to provide the metrics you need during dedicated workout sessions.
Apple Watch uses the accelerometer, a built-in heart rate sensor,
GPS and
Wi-Fi from your
iPhone to provide a comprehensive picture of your daily activity.

The
Activity app measures three separate aspects of movement: calories burned, brisk activity and how often you stand up during the day.
The
Workout app provides goal-setting and pacing during popular session-based workouts, such as running and cycling.
The companion
Fitness app on iPhone collects your activity data so you can see your activity history in greater detail.
