The Activity app, heart rate sensor and Workout app are some of the biggest selling points of the Apple Watch. Today we will be looking at the Activity app and how it works. The Activity app keeps track of your movement, exercise and how long you were stationary throughout the day. It also provides you with a "graphic ring" to help you meet your exercise goals and sit around less.

The Messages app on the Apple Watch is a lot like the Messages app on your iPhone. You can read and reply to messages, view images, listen to audio messages and view videos on your Apple Watch all from the Messages app.
You can add, remove or organize your Apple Watch glances from the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
To add a glance, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then navigate to My Watch > Glances.
To remove a glance, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, then navigate to My Watch > Glances. From here you can tap the red dash next to the name of the glances you want to remove.
To organize your glances drag and drop the reorder buttons in whatever order you would like your glances to appear on your Watch.
Apple Watch owners will want to unpair their Apple Watch from their iPhone if they plan to sell or give it away. To do this open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and navigate to My Watch > Apple Watch > Unpair Apple Watch, and tap Unpair [watch name]. This will unpair your Watch from your iPhone and remove it from your iCloud account.
Just like with your iPod touch, iPhone and iPad you will periodically need to upgrade your Apple Watch software to eliminate bugs and take advantage of new features. You can check for software updates in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone under My Watch > General > Software Update.
If an update is available you can download the new software to your iPhone, then wake your Apple Watch and follow the prompts to install the software.
