Apple’s wearable assistant has been quietly winning
the world over. Let’s explore how it can help you...
he Apple Watch has
come a long way since
it was released in 2015.
Despite being seen as a bit of
a frivolous luxury from the moment it went
on sale, it has surged to become the most
popular watch in the world.
These days it’s known more for its fitness
prowess, letting you track your workouts with
convenience and ease. But that’s not all it’s
good for – from managing your notifications
to playing music and taking calls, the Watch is
a fantastic companion in your everyday life.Whether you’re a long-
serving Watch user or a new to
the wearable world, it’s likely there
are Watch functions and features that can
improve your digital life that you may not be
aware of. That’s what this feature is about.
You can adjust a lot from the Watch itself,
but a number of useful customisation options
are contained in the Watch app on your
iPhone. Whenever you see ‘My Watch’
mentioned in this guide, you need to go to
that tab in the Watch app, so make sure you
have your iPhone to hand to follow along.62 | MACFORMAT | JUNE 2019 macformat.com @macformat
