now we thought a lot when we were designing up a watch about how to really reveal all of the great ecosystem of applications on this device and we wanted to build it in a way that was really easy to find and use so we've connected it to the digital crown so if I press the digital crown at the top here it takes me out to my applications very easy to get out to my apps and I can pan just by simply swiping on the screen here I can also get an overview of all of my apps just by rotating the crown that will zoom out to a universe of apps now to launch apps it's very simple of course you just tap on one of them here's the clock and to customize your watch face you just force touch on the display and it goes back a little bit now I can simply swipe over here and I can choose another watch face now in addition to your looking at information you may have information coming to you and when you're notified of things on Apple watch we're using the taptic engine to give you feedback on your wrist it's just like somebody tapping you on the wrist very gently and even if you're sitting right next to someone they won't be able to tell that you're getting notified it's very subtle but you'll field on your own wrist and if you do choose to look at something that's coming in you just raise your wrist and the notification will come in just like this here's a calendar invitation and then I have buttons that are specific to that type of notification different buttons will come with different notifications here it's a calendar invite so I can accept or decline or maybe I'm totally going to go except now you might also get other notifications here's one from Johnny I'm going to press reply and now we've created something called quick board to enable really quick replies to messages that you're getting and you can see here we've actually analyzed the text that's coming in and picked out some things you might want to just tap on and send back now I can also use dictation to reply okay that would send either an audio recording of my voice or can convert that to text and send it or I can use a new selection of animated emoji that we've created for Apple watch so we've got a Photos app here and now of course precious photos number in the hundreds rather than a couple and if I'd like to I can tap on photos and bring them in larger on the screen here and I can look at them one by one just by swiping one other app app I'd like to show you as maps of course it shows me where I'm at here at Flint Center and I can pan around just by swiping so we can see the neighborhood I can also zoom out with the crown if I rotate the crown it zooms me out I could see more of the area now if I'd like to look for things around me you can bring up a context menu for maps my force touch and here I have a search command and I can find things by dictation my favorites or if I recently search for things I can just tap on those so we've got whole foods here let's get directions to Whole Foods I'll just tap there it's going to calculate find the local Whole Foods here and you got the hours and you have also a phone number if you'd like to call home foods and you have directions walking and driving so let's get walking directions to Whole Foods so it's figuring out the best way to get there now and I'm going to press Start it's going to a little simulated walk too so you can see how it goes here now while you're walking Apple watch will give you a taptic feedback on each turn so you'll know whether it's time to turn left or to turn right and those feelings are different for each direction so you can actually know without even looking at your watch which way to go it's like having this invisible guide with you we have two new applications in Apple watch the first is the fitness app the fitness app monitors all of your activity and movement throughout the day and the second is the workout app the workout app allows you to set specific goals for specific types of workouts like cycling or running Apple watch brings together the capabilities of an all-day fitness tracker and a highly advanced sports watch in one device you can wear all the time it can track a wider variety of activities because it's able to collect more types of data it uses an accelerometer to measure your total body movement it has a custom sensor that can measure intensity by tracking your heart rate and it uses the GPS and Wi-Fi in your iPhone to track how far you've moved Apple watch requires the iPhone because it's been designed to seamlessly work together like with handoff where you might read an email on your watch and then respond to it on the iPhone the email appears right in the lock screen of your iPhone it's really cool of course Apple watch works with iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus but we've also designed it so that it will work with iPhone 5 iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s Apple watch starts at only 349 dollars and it will be available early next year and it is worth the way
