You may also be expecting that 38mm and 42mm are

measurement refers to the height of the display.

Accessories
You can use your Apple Watch and never have to buy anything else –
but there are accessories you should consider
Bluetooth headphones
Listen to music and make calls
There is a tiny speaker on your Apple Watch and it’s more than loud
enough for you to hear alarms, reminders and notifications. However
it isn’t good for listening to music. If you have your iPhone with you,
then you can just listen to that instead, but your Apple Watch can
store up to 2GB music itself – which is handy if you just want to use
it without carrying your phone. Then, if you prefer to exercise to a
beat or walk to jazz, you’ll want to get some Bluetooth headphones.
They do specifically need to be Bluetooth rather than just wireless, so
check carefully before buying. The prices vary, but you can find good
Bluetooth headphones from prices as low as £50..
Protective cases
Armour-plate your Apple Watch
It’s not as if Apple Watches aren’t made of metal and aren’t
manufactured to be hard-wearing, so you might question whether
you really need a protective case. However, the aluminium Sports
model is weaker than the stainless steel one. In addition, the Edition
might be made from tough gold, but scratching a £10,000 Watch
will hurt your soul. So there is a case for there being cases for the
Apple Watch. Currently, Apple does not sell any itself, but other
manufacturers are preparing models. Keep an eye out in the shops
or on online retail sites to see when cases become available (such as
Spigen’s collection of cases, spigen.co.uk).
Charging stands
This Watch needs power
Whatever Apple Watch you buy, you are supplied with a charging
cable that is 2 metres long. One end fits into a plug, just as you
are used to with your iPhone. The other end is the round charging
connector that connects to your Watch with magnets. If you get the
gold Edition, you are also given a magnetic charging case. That case
is not going to be the reason you pick the gold one, though, and
all Apple Watches need recharging daily. Apple sells spare charging
cables (1m £25, 2m £29) so that you can keep another one at the
office. Many other companies offer stands that prop up the Watch
and its charging cable (griffintechnology.com pictured).

Your Apple Watch wouldn’t be the same
without apps – here’s our pick of the ones
you need to download right now
A
new Apple product is a very exciting time for any software
developer. The amazing success of the iOS and Mac App Stores is
testament to that. It’s the apps that populate those stores that make
the iPhone, iPad and Mac the brilliant devices they are. A life without third-
party apps wouldn’t be particularly interesting. We’ve downloaded these
apps millions and millions of times; making household names of productivity,
entertainment and social networking apps. The developers behind these app
success stories have made a very healthy living too, and now the race is on to
design and create the next massive hit.
However, Apple has changed the ball game slightly, and this time around,
developers are working with Apple Watch, the tech giant’s first foray into the
wearables market. The WatchKit SDK was released to software developers six
months before Apple Watch was finally released, meaning a lot of ideas and
testing has gone into perfecting the apps you find today in Apple’s App Store.
Apple even invited developers with mega successful iOS apps to come
and work in its own studios in Cupertino. Everything you see on the Apple
Watch App Store is going to be super polished, and all the major players are
onboard. If you were excited by the demonstrations during any of the Apple
Watch keynotes, you’re going to love playing around with different third-
party apps.
In this packed feature we’re going to take you on a personal guided tour
of the very best the App Store has to offer. We’ve come up with a detailed list
that every Apple Watch user should be downloading straight away. We’ve got
everyone covered here, whether you’re a social networking addict, a fitness
fanatic or a workaholic; there’s an app that can help improve your day-to-day
life. Apple Watch does have an onboard storage limit of 8GB, though, so you
might have to be slightly picky about which apps you download. Even so,
we’re sure you’re going to love what’s on offer. So, what are you waiting for?
Let’s get downloading right now.

1Password
Price: Free
Keeping track of the various logins you use across the web can be difficult.
While some will resort to creating an iPhone note, or even jotting them down
on a piece of paper, there’s now an easy solution for the Apple Watch. The
1Password app collates your logins and puts them behind a virtual firewall,
preventing anyone bar yourself from accessing them. The app can be modified
to cater for different security levels and there are numerous modifications
designed to display your passwords in a completely customisable way. Once
you’ve collated your list, don’t forget to sync it to your iPhone or Mac.

Just A Score is a brand new app
from Imagine Publishing that lets
you score anything. And we mean,
literally anything. It’s fun, addictive and
built especially for Apple Watch. You
log in to the app through Facebook or
Twitter on your iPhone and then it’s up
to you what you score. Search for your
favourite magazine and rate it out of
ten, rate your holiday, a politician, a film
– the list is completely endless. You’ll be
scoring serious stuff as well as a lot of
fun things, too. You get to follow your
friends and share your scores on all the
popular social networks. There’s
also a Trending section that
lets you see what is currently
popular with other users. That
Trending section is one of
the two menus available
to Apple Watch users;
the other is an Activity

Of all the big features on the Apple Watch, health

Health was introduced to Apple’s mobile operating
system last year, the Cupertino giant was acknowledging
the importance of being able to record fitness data
and inspire users to be more active. Apple Watch is
only going to hammer home those thoughts through
its built-in Activity app, which sets you daily goals and
nudges you throughout the day as encouragements,
while Workout will track your movements in much
more detail. Obviously there is going to be plenty of
third-party apps to try too, and Nike+ Running is already
leading the way. You’ll still need your iPhone in your
pocket when you go for a run, but the Nike+ Running
app puts your distance, duration and pace statistics on
your Apple Watch for you to see at a glance. The app’s
colour scheme is perfect for this scenario, too. No more

Fantastical 2
Price: £3.99/$4.99
There are actually several calendar apps already available for Apple
Watch users, including Apple’s built-in option, but one of the best by
far is Fantastical 2. It provides all the normal features you would expect
in a calendar app; including adding appointments, managing schedules
and removing any unnecessary entries. However, it’s its ease of use that
makes it really stand out from the crowd. It’s designed in a way that
allows both novice and advanced users to manage their entire schedule
in just two different panels and receive on-the-spot notifications when
an upcoming entry is near. Plus, it’s one of the few third-party apps that
includes its own Complications, one of the premier features in watchOS
2. Just head over to the customise menu and you’ll be able to add one
of them with ease.

the weather forecast. Easily our favourite third-party weather
app is Dark Sky, a super-powerful offering that gives detailed
forecasts for the hour ahead, the next day or the whole
week. A simple swipe left and right lets you navigate
between the three main options.

Essential apps
Evernote
Price: Free
Evernote is one of the most popular iOS apps of all
time. Unfairly pigeon-holed as a simple note-taking app,
Evernote is so much more than that. Yes you can create all
sorts of notes, but you can also collect web articles, hand
written notes and photos and store them under one handy
roof. Evernote’s developers have done a sterling job at
making the app just as usual to the smartwatch audience.
With Evernote for Apple Watch you can dictate notes and
they’ll be transcribed and synced to your account. You can
also use the Apple Watch’s built-in mic to dictate searches
and see results on your Watch.

ProCamera+
Price: £3.99/$4.99
One of the key reasons many users invest in an
iOS device is because of their fantastic cameras,
even more so if you purchase one of the new
iPhone 6s or SE devices. While your Apple Watch
can’t take pictures of its own, it can be used as a
wireless remote for the rear-facing camera
on your iPhone. ProCamera+ does exactly
that, and so much more as well. Apple
Watch users can set up a shot with various
shooting modes, as well as set timers
and see a live preview of what you’re
about to shoot. It’s highly customisable
and without doubt one of the better
camera remote apps currently on the
App Store, even if it can be a little
tricky to use at first.

plays. Users also get access to every breaking news story in the app; just tap a story to
read the shortened, Apple Watch-optimised version. Sadly, if you don’t live in the United
States or take a keen interest in American sports, ESPN will be one to miss, but for those

Hole 19
Price: Free
As you’re probably well aware of now, your Apple Watch is a
brilliant little fitness tracker. But it can actually do so much more
than simply count your steps, tracks your calories burnt and so on.
Download the Hole 19 app and you automatically turn your Apple
Watch into a golf GPS device. Which is no mean feat considering
that they would normally set you back in excess of £100. Hole 19
means there’s no need for you to carry a scorecard in your back
pocket – this app doubles as a digital scorecard and GPS. Record
your strokes taken and how many putts per hole, but also get vital
information for the hole you’re playing. You get to see how far
you’ve driven the ball and how far you’ve got until the middle of
the green. You get access to 38,000 courses too!
