Personally, I use whatever apps that are downloaded to my phone that are compatible with Apple Watch. Not all are available, and I don't use them every day, but it's always good to know they're there. I personally would say that Apple Watch has changed my life for the better. I've grown so attached to it to where I see it as part of me and I own a few others that I alternate between on a daily basis. I see it as an extremely useful tool for modern life. Not only do I track my activity throughout the day, I use it receive my daily notifications, texts, calls, emails, etc. when I do not have my phone. If I have misplaced my phone, I can simply swipe up from the control center and ping my phone and then I find where it is by the sound it plays. If I am watching any videos on any apps like YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, my watch becomes the remote. I can adjust the volume, pause, play, and sometimes even rewind 15 or 10 seconds or jump 15 or 10 seconds. I know Hulu and Netflix both support this feature. If I'm at the gas station and the pump tells me to see the cashier and I leave my phone and wallet behind, I can simply pay with my watch using Apple Pay if the terminal supports it. If I'm at the movies or at a concert and I have my ticket(s) saved in the Wallet app, I can just view those tickets, access the barcode, and scan them upon entry. No need to dig for my phone or look in my wallet or pockets for the ticket. If I need to do something at work at a certain time I can just set an alarm for that time and when it comes, I get the tiny taps from the Taptic Engine and sound. If I wanted to be reminded of something either when I arrive home, get in the car, or at a certain time, it pops up on my wrist. Apple Watch definitely has changed my life and I would never switch to anything else or not wear it anymore. It truly is a great device.
