The second app worth looking at is Sleep Tracker. Before AutoSleep he has two distinctive features. First, it's cheaper. And secondly, it is much easier to understand it. The application allows you to determine the duration of REM and deep sleep phases, calculate the time spent falling asleep, etc. Another feature is a “smart” alarm clock that only works when you are in REM sleep.

First, you can already use ready-made templates answers. Second, you can dictate a message with using Siri.

Apple GymKit

Before starting a workout, you connect your Apple Watch to the cardio machine via NFC and Bluetooth, and the watch begins to receive the most relevant and necessary data in real time, such as speed and incline. We hope there is no need to tell you that this is better than just looking at the screen of the simulator? After all, no one canceled the accounting for training data.

What can smart watches do? Why are they so popular? These questions are asked by buyers who are familiar with smart watch. Usually, after a few days of active use, ambiguities go away by themselves, because iWatch functionality surprises even experienced users.
- as directly with the watch (they are equipped with a microphone and speaker);
- and redirect it to the iPhone.
Taptic Engine is a feature in Apple Watch
One of the main advantages of smartwatches. The device seems to touch your hand when a new alert arrives. And the notification different applications is felt by a person in different ways: you can easily distinguish an SMS message from a navigator indication. 
Photo: Taptic Engine in Apple Watch It is convenient to use this function as an alarm clock. You and your loved ones will no longer have to jump out of bed from the annoying ringing of the clock.
Sending a heartbeat to another watch
Romantic function from Apple. To send, you need to press two fingers on the watch screen. At this time, the heart monitor will record the heartbeat, which you can send to other iwatch watch. 
Transferring touches to other iWatch
Allows you to send light taps to your friends and loved ones as a sign that you remember them.
Fitness tracker
If you are an athlete or a fan healthy lifestyle life, smart watches will become a convenient assistant in the analysis and adjustment of the daily routine. As the main indicator, they use the pulse rate: the device has an optical sensor that works without worse panels on treadmills. 
Fitness tracker in iWatch So, the Activity application calculates several parameters every day and displays them in the form of three colored circles:
- General activity.
- High activity (with increased heart rate).
- Time spent on your feet (helps to remember the need to break away from the workplace).
And the Workout app counts calories burned and distance traveled during a workout. 
The Workout application in smart watches And this is not all that the device can do, it is also included in its “stuffing”.
In the box with the Apple Watch Series 3, we found a miserly gentleman's set: an induction tablet charger, a 1A plug, a silicone strap with one additional clasp of a different length, and documentation.
Modifications
Apple Watch Series 3 with eSIM support, as well as modifications of Hermès and Edition in Russia, unfortunately, are not represented. This means that variations from sapphire glass, steel and ceramic case We don't sell either.
What you can choose from: one of two sizes (38 mm and 42 mm), one of four colors silicone strap (smoky, pink, gray and black), depending on which one of the three colors aluminum case(silver, gold and space grey).
There is also a modification of Nike + for athletes and fans of the brand of the same name - with thematic design of the dials and special mesh straps.
There is no difference in specifications depending on the size. The price difference is small - relative to the cost of the watch itself. Therefore, it should be guided only by personal preferences. I have an Apple Watch with a case length of 38 mm, and I really like it, I don’t feel infringed, I don’t want a “full-size” version.
Frame
The only point of contention is the choice specific model Apple watch. On the this moment officially sold models of the first and third series. If you need an iOS remote control, activity tracker, and workout tracking, the Apple Watch Series 1 is enough. If it's water-resistant and tracks swim tracks in the pool, listening to music without a smartphone, and a hardware reserve for the future, the Apple Watch Series 3 is better.
