Shulou(Shulou.com)05/31 Report--

Apple Watch has come a long way since it was launched more than five years ago. Originally as an iPhone on the wrist, it has evolved into a high-end health and fitness tracker. Since its launch, the choice of third-party applications available to Apple Watch has also increased, but what is really striking is the native application of the watch.

Companies including Amazon, eBay, Target, Slack and TripAdvisor have abandoned support for Apple Watch applications, but these services are more suitable for our phones, tablets and laptops anyway. What matters is the built-in activity tracker, messaging, and phone applications-- things we want to browse quickly and easily, no matter which version of Apple Watch we are currently using.

"this watch is really for convenience," said Ray Wang, chief analyst and founder of Constellation Research. "you don't spend too much screen time on your watch. So I think the secret to building a good Apple Watch app is to think of it as an accessory and something. Few people use it as a stand-alone, unless it's for fitness or health, or some kind of monitoring."

When Apple Watch was launched in 2015, it had 3000 apps available for download. Today, there are more than 20000 applications-44 of which are built into wearable devices. Wang added that although watches were not a widely needed accessory in 2015, Apple Watch has proved to be a useful tool for checking messages, weather and reminders-all of which are already built into the device.

Here are a few native Apple Watch applications that you may not have used yet.

1. sleep

Apple Watch is belated in sleep tracking-an important health feature that competitors such as Fitbit have been providing for years. Although Apple's Sleep app may not be as comprehensive as the sleep monitoring available on other devices, it is still a good way to track sleep and get into regular bedtime. When you wear Apple Watch all night, it will tell you how long you have been in bed and how often you sleep. The latter feature is a new feature of Apple that comes with WatchOS 8.

two。 wallet

Apple Watch is designed to keep you from having to touch your phone often, and the wallet app is one of the best examples. Once you add content such as credit cards, boarding passes and movie tickets to the e-wallet app on your phone, you can store the content on your wrist. This means you don't have to pay in your pocket or pocket to buy or board the plane quickly. Apple also extends the functionality of the Wallet application in WatchOS 8 by introducing the ability to add home keys and ID cards to the watch.

3. Message

The messaging application is one of the most basic and basic Apple Watch applications, but it is also one of the most useful applications. As the name implies, Messages allows you to read and reply to text messages directly from your wrist. Your phone is still the best tool for sending long text messages, but when you don't have time to pick up your phone, Apple Watch can come in handy for sending short, time-sensitive responses. If you have Apple Watch Series 7, you will be able to reply to text using the device's new QWERTY keyboard, which is much easier than using the Scribble feature.
