You can call upon Siri, receive Facebook alerts, WeChat messages and Twitter trends and there will be no need to pull out your smartphone to check the messages. What's more, they care more about your fitness. Apple Watch is also a fitness tracker with heart-rate measurements. Apple has two of its own fitness apps built in. One tracks everyday activity and the other one tracks dedicated workouts. The apps for Watch will be downloaded via Apple Watch Store.

Besides all the wonderful features, Apple Watch also keeps the basic portable media device function.
