The Apple Watch can be an all-purpose audio entertainment device. With the iPod now long gone, consumers can still leave their iPhone at home and take music, podcasts and audiobooks with them on the go. In this tip Darcy takes you through the experience of syncing and streaming content with the Watch app, including how to control the Music app on your Mac using your Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch is a fully capable piece of technology, and along with that comes a mountain of settings, preferences and customisation. In this tip video Darcy explores the Apple Watch Settings app and the iPhone Watch app. He shows you how you can move from one to the other and easily change Home Screen layouts, watch faces, and, if you have Apple Watch Ultra, configure the action button.

The Apple Watch has grown up over the years. And while many think of it solely as a health-focused product it's actually capable of much, much more. After going over the setup from scratch, Darcy shows you around some core apps such as Mail, Calendar, Messages, and Phone. He also gives you a taste of Find My, Camera Remote, Weather, and more.

In this doubleheader screencast, Don and Lee take you through some of the new features in tvOS 15 and watchOS 8. You see how Control Center in tvOS has become a lot more useful, and how sharing content is now available on Apple TV. Lee focuses on the main additions to watchOS, including the Contacts app, how to set multiple timers, as well as the new Portrait watch face.

Apple's watchOS has had some significant updates since our last overview video back in 2018. So we decided it was time to look at how Apple Watch and its operating system have evolved.

In this screencast, Lee starts by looking at what the two latest series watches (5 and 6) can offer you, as well as some of the core new features of watchOS 6 and 7. This includes a variety of new health and fitness options. While some of these new additions and apps rely on later series watches' hardware, there are lots of features that work on previous editions, including new Watch Faces and the redesigned Reminders app.

In this episode, Don takes a looks at some of the new features of watchOS 5 and demonstrates that you don't need an Apple Watch Series 4 to have a refreshed Apple Watch experience.

Initially, we take a look at the changes using an Apple Watch Series 3, followed by a brief look at Apple Watch Series 4 and some of its new features.

Spend some time organising your Apple Watch watch faces, complications and Dock and boost your productivity.

After a time spent using the Apple Watch, you become aware of the Apps you most commonly access. This tip video shows you how to customise your watch faces, complications and the dock to have these most commonly used apps available to you.

watchOS 4 is Apple's latest update to the operating system powering the Apple Watch.

In this week's episode, we take a look at some of the new features and changes to the already-familiar apps on the Apple Watch.

Whether you're already athletic, or if you want to get into better shape with the help of the Apple Watch, these ++ apps from Cross Forward Consulting might enhance your activity tracking.

The Apple Watch comes with both standard Workout and Activity apps that can show metrics on the watch as well as on the iPhone. Unfortunately, you can't control what metrics you see on the Apple Watch whilst doing a workout. With Workouts++ you can create custom watch faces for each type of workout you do, allowing you to display different metrics and even graphs on the Apple Watch.

In this tutorial, Allison Sheridan demonstrates the configuration of Workouts++ using real workout data, as well as how to use the information collected from your workouts in Activity++ and Pedometer++.

Whether you're an athlete, or just want to get more active, these apps will help make your workouts more fun.

One of the top reasons for using an Apple Watch is to motivate you to track your activity with the Activity app.

This tip video takes you through some hints and tips on optimising your usage of the Activity app. Including such things as:

• Using Apple Watch faces with the Activity & Workout apps

• Easy ways to start workouts

• Bypassing the Stand Up reminders and still achieving your goals

• Adding in missed workouts manually

A quick update on some of the new features in WatchOS 3.2 including the new "Theatre Mode", a new lock sound when unlocking your Mac and a peek at some new scrolling capabilities using the touchpad on the Apple TV remote.

One of the major features of the Apple Watch is communication. 

In this episode I take a brief look at three of the main communications apps - Messages, Phone and Digital Touch.

Not surprisingly, Apple Watch has a number of time related apps!

As well as the customisable Watch faces, there are also separate apps for Alarms, Time and Stopwatch. 

In this episode, I run through the various functions and features of all three apps, plus a workaround for Podcast fans to sync Podcasts to your Apple Watch.

Apple Watch gives you access to the next 7 days of events from your iCloud calendar. Review the week in List view or drill in to a more detailed Today view. 

Get directions to your appointments, contact event organisers, find events using Siri or even create single events or recurring events using your Apple Watch. 

One of the most surprisingly useful aspects of the Apple Watch is its focus on Activity and Health. 

In this episode I take a look at the Activity Rings and the Workout App on the Apple Watch, along with a peek at the Activity App and the Health App on the iPhone.

The Apple Watch is here! Well so says Apple's web site, but it's not here for everyone.

Regardless, I was able to order as soon as they were released and thankfully, I was one of the lucky ones to receive the Apple Watch on launch day. The least I could do was to create an Introduction to Apple Watch tutorial whilst I get to grips with the device.
