If you'll be using your Apple Watch's fitness features, you'll want to become acquainted with the Workout app, which helps you to keep track of your progress.
Starting with watchOS 3, you can customize your workout metrics, and in this tutorial, we'll talk about all the ways you can do that.
Power Reserve mode is a feature of watchOS that let's you conserve what's left of your battery when you get low on juice by limiting your Apple Watch's functionality to nothing more than a time piece.
Starting with watchOS 3, the steps to enable it has changed, so we'll show you how it's done.
watchOS 3 released alongside iOS 10 with a bunch of new features, core technologies and user interface enhancements. With watchOS 3, navigating your watch is now intuitive, as it should have been from the onset. A new Dock feature lets you access your frequently used apps with a press of the Side button and they load way faster, even on the original watch.
Apps can also take advantage of Background App Refresh technology to stay up to date, Messages now supports stickers, enhanced Digital Touch features and even fullscreen and bubble effects, like in iOS 10, plus tons more.
Among a myriad of varied health and fitness focused features, watchOS makes pausing and resuming your runs in the stock Workout app a frictionless experience, based on the inclusion of a new feature which taps into built-in sensors to determine when you start and stop moving. This new feature doesn't require a dedicated GPS so it'll work on every Apple Watch model.
Even better, you can enable it with just one tap, here's how.

Apple Watch offers a standalone Reminders app, and as you'll soon learn, it can be just as functional as the iPhone app.
The introduction of an official Reminders app on Apple Watch was great because this little app on your wrist will help you get through all your errands throughout the day and keep track of your busy life.
The app is used with Siri since there is no keyboard to input text on the Apple Watch like there is on your iPhone. With that being said, using the Reminders app may feel a little awkward at first, but it should become a second nature to you in no time at all.
It's a nice feeling when software works as it should, but that's not always the case. In the case of the Apple Watch, notifications that are supposed to be tapping on your wrist may not work when you expect them to.
