How to download an app on Apple Watch
You can add apps to your watch from your Apple Watch or the iPhone it is paired with. On your watch, tap the Digital Crown to access the home screen, then tap the App Store icon. Learn more

Sleep

1. AutoSleep

The AutoSleep app helps you sleep better. It measures how long you sleep, including deep sleep and wake periods. One standout feature is a smart alarm that wakes you during light sleep, making it easier to get up. Perfect for quick power naps!

We also love that it doesn’t require a subscription, despite being a paid app. AutoSleep has earned the highest paid app title on the App Store for seven consecutive years. Also, your data is not collected by the company, unlike with many free apps.

Pro tip: If you track sleep with your Apple Watch, plan a quick charging session before bed.

Golf

2. Golfshot

Take your golf game to the next level with Golfshot on Apple Watch. This app collects performance data and lets you leave your phone behind while you play. It uses your watch’s GPS to measure distances on the course, while its accelerometer and gyroscope track your swing, for a detailed analysis of your performance. It’s like having a personal coach!

Run

3. Strava

One of the world’s most popular fitness apps, Strava is a must for your Apple Watch. Whether you’re into walking, running, biking, or hiking, it’s easy to track your activity and reach your goals. We love how easy it is to start recording an activity quickly on the watch. Plus, the huge Strava community is great for discovering new routes and staying motivated.

With the running apps available on Apple Watch, you may want to subscribe to a smartwatch mobile plan. That way, you can leave your iPhone at home during workouts and your watch will stay connected.

Fitness

4. SmartGym

Named the best Apple Watch app of 2023, SmartGym creates personalized workouts that evolve as you progress. You don’t need sophisticated equipment, because the app adapts to what you have at home. We especially like the rep counter. Just do the suggested exercise and let your watch count the reps for you. It’s also free to try, so you’ve got nothing to lose (except maybe a few pounds!).

Artificial intelligence

5. Petey

Interact with ChatGPT directly from your Apple Watch using the Petey app. Although Apple Intelligence is coming to Apple Watch with the watchOS 26 update, it’s only available on watches paired with an iPhone 15 Pro or later, which support the feature. The Petey app allows more people to ask AI questions from their smartwatch. Other great app features include response sharing, playlist creation on Apple Music, and audio playback of results.

Nutrition

6. Water Reminder

Stay well hydrated with the Water Reminder app. It lets you log your water intake directly on your watch, which is more convenient and discreet than using your phone (which, let’s be honest, is rude to pull out at the table). After setting up your profile based on your weight, age, activity level, and other factors, the app recommends a daily water intake. You can log various types of drinks, like coffee, tea, or milk. With the app, hydration is fun and engaging, making this healthy habit easier to adopt—and stick with!

Organization

The iPhone’s native Calendar app is helpful for staying organized. That said, other apps offer a more user-friendly interface and a better user experience, especially on Apple Watch.

7. Things 3

This is the ultimate productivity app. Schedule events, set reminders, make lists, check off completed tasks, and manage your priorities—all from your wrist! The app has a clear and easy-to-navigate interface on the Apple Watch. You can even record voice memos on the go, so you don’t forget anything.

8. Just Press Record

Speaking of voice memos, Just Press Record is an app dedicated to recording audio notes. Let’s face it—typing on a smartwatch isn’t exactly ideal. That’s why a solid voice-note app is so handy. You can launch Just Press Record using Siri or with a single tap, and it can even transcribe your recordings into text. Recordings sync across your Apple devices via iCloud. The app supports over 30 languages.

9. Streaks

Halfway between productivity and wellness, the Streaks app helps you build new habits. Want to go for a walk every day? Read more regularly? Take a few minutes to meditate? Quit smoking? You’ll find over 600 icons for all kinds of daily tasks, big or small. Just choose what you want to work on, then tick off your completed tasks on your Apple Watch. It’s friendly, low-pressure, and helps you make steady progress toward your wellness goals.

Wellness

10. Calm

The Calm app is a library of meditation and relaxation content. Available by subscription, it was named App of the Year by Apple in both 2017 and 2018. On Apple Watch, Calm gives you quick access to breathing exercises, stretches, and mindfulness sessions. It’s especially appealing to use on the watch, as it lets you unplug from your phone for a bit.

Staying connected—lightly

What makes Apple Watch so appealing is how seamlessly it fits into your everyday life. Since you wear it everywhere, it can enhance many areas of life, from health and fitness to organization. Just install the right apps! So, what’s your favourite Apple Watch app?
