The Apple Watch will have a large catalog of applications at its launch thanks to the effort of Apple and the developers because this is so. The main applications already have their extensions ready for the Apple watch, which will undoubtedly be one of their great strengths and the main difference with the other available platforms. But what about the native applications of the Apple Watch? ¿What can we do with it fresh out of the box? We show you the applications that are pre-installed on the Apple Watch and their functions.
Messages, Phone and Mail
The three pillars of communication on a smartphone appear on the Apple Watch. Answering phone calls from your Apple Watch thanks to its integrated speaker and microphone, rejecting the call or even silencing it by simply covering the watch with one hand are the functions that the Apple Watch will allow us. The Messages application will allow us to see the messages, answer them from the watch itself by dictation or a voice message, or even send animated emojis. Mail will be a little more limited, and will only allow us to read the emails, archive them, mark them or mark them as read and unread.
Calendar, Activity and Workout
The calendar application will allow you to see your current appointments and upcoming appointments. You will receive notifications with each of them and when you receive an invitation, which you can even accept or reject from the Apple Watch. Activity is the application to monitor what you have done throughout the day: movements, periods of exercise, and the time you have been standing. When you have been sitting too long it will remind you to get up. Workout we will use it when we exercise, showing live data such as calories burned, distance traveled or our heart rate. You can choose between different exercises that include the most frequent: walking, running and cycling.
Maps, Passbook and Siri
Getting directions to your destination will be easier than ever thanks to Maps. Starting from your current situation you can receive step-by-step instructions on how to get to your destination. Thanks to the crown, zooming is very easy. Passbook will be the one who stores your tickets, boarding passes, etc. and you will be able to access the shows and airplanes just by using your watch. Siri wants to be reborn on the Apple Watch. Its greater accessibility is a good opportunity for the Apple assistant to help you with your most daily tasks.
Music, Camera Remote and Remote
You can play music from your own Apple Watch using a bluetooth headset thanks to the 2GB of storage that you can dedicate to this. Of course you can control the playback, and you can also play the music you have on your iPhone, although in this case you will have to take it with you. Taking a photo will be very easy thanks to the Camera Remote application that also lets you will offer a preview of it so that everything is perfectly framed. And Remote will allow you to control your Apple TV or the iTunes library on your Mac or PC.
Time, Bag and Photos
Weather, as it cannot be otherwise, will offer information on the current state of the weather as well as the forecast for the whole day. With a very original shape, as if it were a watch, you can see the daily forecast through icons. With a bag you will not miss anything about the stock market, and in photos you can show off with your friends the photos of your family on the small screen of the Apple Watch while your iPhone 6 Plus with its 5,5-inch Retina FullHD screen rests in your pocket.
Alarm, Stopwatch and Timer
Such an advanced watch cannot be considered as such if it does not have a alarm, stopwatch and timer, essential functions that Apple has not overlooked.
World Clock and Settings
We finish with the World Clock application, with which we can know the time in different parts of the world and the Settings application, from which we can configure the essential functions of our Apple Watch.
