The primary reason for purchasing the Apple Watch was for the fitness component. I use Apple's built-in workout app for the watch which syncs with the iPhone. A workout can be logged and saved under various categories such as outdoor and indoor walk, run, and cycle as well as elliptical, rower, and stair stepper. The Activity app stores calories, steps, and total distance walked each day. Each week a new move goal can be set for calories burned which is motivation for progress. Other built-in apps like Apple Pay, messages, mail, reminders, and calendar can mirror notifications that are currently set up on the iPhone. Applications like Weather.com and Wunderground are useful quick reference apps in planning your day without having to check your iPhone.
Fandango is great for storing movie tickets purchased through the iPhone app or online. It has a feature to let you know when the movie is about to start and when you should leave your current location to be there on time. Theaters that support digital ticketing can scan the watch QR code for all persons in your party from a single swipe. Uber is a useful extension of the iPhone app which provides a notification that the car has arrived. Airline apps like Delta and American are helpful for boarding quickly by scanning the QR code and not having to worry about where to store your phone while holding your bags. Hotel apps like Marriott and SPG have a built in room key at participating hotels which mirrors the capabilities of the iPhone 6. Shopping apps such as Amazon and eBay are great on the Apple Watch which allows the user to know when items are shipped. The eBay app has the capability to increase the bid on watched items.
There are many other fantastic features that can be viewed on Apple's website and incredibly useful apps for various needs. I never leave home without it and I'm sure you will love it too!
Cheers!
