Our Favorite Apple Watch Apps!

[Annie_M]

Do you have a favorite Watch App that you'd like to share? Perhaps you really like one of the stock Apps, or perhaps you have found a 3rd party App that you really really like! Either way, in the spirit of community, why not share with your fellow Apple Watch users here on iMore?

Here's one that I just found: Catholic Calendar. I like it because I can use it to reading along with readings during Mass, and not have the Priest think I'm playing on my phone!

MYQ ( garage door app for Chamberlain Garage Door Opener
tc.2.0 (house alarm app for Stanley Security or Honeywell)
Good Luck

Some of my favorites are not even apps but the way Office 365 and other apps can send notifications.

Two I really appreciate are Dark Sky on the phone and Abvio - Cyclemeter for me but they're all the same app. Abvio's Cyclemeter and siblings record data for specific activities better than the native activity app.

My favorite would be Gymaholic. The watch app lets me run my workout and rest times from the watch. Very convenient.

Instead he sees you playing on your Watch

The only ones that I use:

• Just the watch face, to see what time it is
• The stock weather app (or, at least, its complication)
• Workouts
• Overcast, to start podcasts on my iPhone when the phone is in my pocket
• Timer
• Activity app (complication only - I rarely open the app)
• Heartrate complication
• Alarms (rare, but I use one maybe once a month)
• I rarely use it on the watch, but, DarkSky

Other apps that I rarely use on the watch, but depend on watch data:

• AutoSleep
• HeartWatch
• Activity app on the iPhone, to get and record workout data
• Maps (only to get turn by turn when I start navigation on the iPhone)

Apps I never use (and never will)

• Walkie-Talkie (I wish that this was an optional install that you could choose when you activate)
• Podcasts
• Radio
• Cycle Tracking
• Compass
• Calculator
• Audiobooks
• Remote
• Voice Memos
• Wallet/Apple Pay (I will always do this on my iPhone)

I keep it simple, I mostly use my watch for notifications. As for complications, I use the old modular watch face since mine can't do the new one. On that face I have,

Date
Time
Carrot
Activity
Battery
Attain by Aetna (do activity get money, pretty sure you have to have Aetna insurance)

Outside of that, I use Workouts. That's over 99% of my Watch usage.

How could I forget Pay? That has to be my absolute favorite app/feature!

Pay saved me numerous times lol

I use Pay all the time. Everywhere here takes Pay but i also use the wallet to get into my gym, for train tickets, underground [express transit & Pay] and have loyalty cards, starbucks ️️️ etc!

Soooooo useful!
