First announced in September 2014 and on sale in the UK since April 2015, the Apple Watch has already set the benchmark by which other wearable devices are judged, not just in terms of what it can do, but also the incredible attention to detail Apple has lavished on it. Take innovations like the Digital Crown or Force Touch, which enable you to interact with your devices in new, innovative ways. Or the clever combination of the latest technology with traditional watchmaking skills. You could say that the Apple Watch isn’t so much made, as crafted. Even the most affordable Apple Watch Sport model features specially developed materials, including soft, but hard-wearing fluoroelastomer for its coloured Sport Bands and toughened lon-X glass for its face. And models further up the range reveal further attention to detail still - from the specially developed Stainless Steel alloy for the mid-priced Apple Watch to the 18-carat Rose Gold and Yellow Gold cases of the Apple Watch Edition. Even the Apple Watch Hermés collection is incredibly special, thanks to a unique partnership between Apple and one of the fashion world’s most iconic brands. One of the things we love most about the Apple Watch is just how practical and useful it is. You no longer have to take your iPhone out of your pocket to check your emails, messages or calls. While Maps and Siri are even more usable when they're strapped to your wrist. The aim of this guide is to help you learn and discover even more of the amazing things your Apple Watch can do. And if you haven't taken the plunge yet, this guide will hopefully persuade you that you really, really should.

Your Apple Watch is about to get even better. Here’s how... The Ultimate Apple Watch Handbook | 43 GUIDED TOUR | Introducing Apple Watch Introducing Apple Watch he Apple Watch is an incredible piece of wearable technology, packed with amazing innovations from the highly detailed Retina display to the Digital Crown — a device that enables you to do things on the Apple Watch just as easily as you could with the scroll wheel on the original iPod. In fact, the Apple Watch has so many brilliant things going on inside and out that they're worth listing, so here's a quick guide to just how clever it really is. DISPLAY The Apple Watch's touchscreen Retina display is central to the whole user experience. It enables you to see at-a- glance what's going on in your world, and enables you to interact with it by using simple gestures, taps and, of course, Force Touch. ©) & U =) xe) 2 a) £& Ss D = Oo oD) LQ D WO BLUETOOTH Lets you easily connect the Apple Watch to your iPhone and other compatible devices you may choose, including wireless headphones and loudspeakers. FORCE TOUCH Combines the power of the touchscreen with tiny electrodes around the Retina display, giving it the ability to tell between a light tap and a deep press - enabling to you interact more easily with the apps, options and menus. TAPTIC ENGINE This feature enables the Watch to gently tap your wrist for reminders and other feedback. You can even use it to tap someone else and get their attention, or even send them the beat of your heart. SIDE BUTTON Press here for power functions, and to get quick and easy access to friends, family and other frequently accessed contacts. 44 | The Ultimate Apple Watch Handbook DIGITAL CROWN/ HOME BUTTON Superficially similar in look and feel to the winder on an analogue watch, the Digital Crown works more like the scroll wheel on the original iPod. You can roll the Digital Crown forwards and backwards with your finger to move through menus and menu options. Pressing the Digital Crown returns you to the Apple Watch's Home screen. Performing a long press activates Siri, Apple's virtual personal assistant. HEART RATE SENSOR The back of the Apple Watch is dominated bya sensor that enables it measure your pulse - and so your heartbeat. The sensor comprises infrared and visible light LEDs and diodes to‘see through’ your skin for greater accuracy. The results are used to measure your activity levels - so you can keep tabs on your health and fitness. Introducing Apple Watch | GUIDED TOUR APPLE S1 CHIP The brains of the Apple Watch is a custom-designed chip, which contains an entire computer system on a single piece of silicon ~ an industry first. MICROPHONE AND SPEAKER Did you know you can make and take calls on your Apple Watch? Its all thanks to the built-in microphone and speaker, which also have many other uses - from audio alerts to enabling you to chat to the Apple Watch's virtual assistant, Siri. BAND RELEASE BUTTONS Apple has made it incredibly easy for you to replace the strap on your Apple Watch. Simply press each of the Band Release buttons - and then gently slide the band out from its groove on the Apple Watch body. For full instructions on how you can change the strap, see page 122 MAGSAFE INDUCTIVE CHARGING If you've ever owned a MacBook, you'll be familiar with MagSafe, a magnetic connector on the power cable that not only connects safely and securely, but also detaches easily if someone trips over it. MagSafe can be found here too, with the added benefit that it can also charge up the Apple Watch’ built-in battery magnetically via inductive charging. The Ultimate Apple Watch Handbook | 45 pou] | Ino} papin5 = | > O D & O DO g O = = 5 gS O O LQ 5 ) GUIDED TOUR | Timekeeping xc + ith nine NOC he Apple Watch doesn’t just have one face, it has ) nine. And you can swap between any of them whenever you like. To do this, all you have to do it simply press firmly on the currently displayed face (in an action known as a Force Press) and then swipe left to view the Faces gallery. Scroll through them, and when you find one you like, press again to select it Naturally, most of the faces can be customised so that they display the information that you are likely need - from day to date, and even the phases of the moon. You can find out more about these individual Complications (the name for screen furniture on faces) on page 48 The nine faces that your Apple Watch ships with are just the beginning. There are more coming over the horizon in watchOS 2, which should be available as a free update by the time you read this (see page 52 for details). And there are bound to be plenty more as the Apple Watch ecosystem continues to grow. Timekeeping j\ca from, it’s like v RATE Apple worked with astronomers to create this incredible face, which shows the solar system and the relative position of the planets, sun and moon, simply by rotating the Digital Crown. You can even view this groovy orrery by day, month or year. CHRONOGRAPH Based on traditional analogue watch faces, Chronograph displays two different hands: one for total time and one for lap times. It also includes a customisable timescale, and of course, you can add your own Complications. COLOUR This simple watch face can be almost infinitely customised. You can use the Digital Crown to choose a colour that best matches your mood, and on top of that you can add your own Complications for that extra added personal touch. 46 | The Ultimate Apple Watch Handbook MICKEY MOUSE It's great to see Disney's most famous character on the Apple Watch. Mickey taps his foot every second, and the Apple Watch is so accurate that even if you were to put a whole bunch together, each Mickey would keep to the beat perfectly. Oh boy! MODULAR This highly customisable face uses a grid structure that allows you to add all kinds of Complications to the screen. And when you tap on each one, you're taken straight to the relevant app for even more information, which can only be a really useful thing. Timekeeping | GUIDED TOUR LIFE IN MOTION The Motion face is one of the most beautiful things you'll find on the Apple Watch. That’s because Apple has created three separate animations of butterflies, flowers and jellyfish that are more realistic than you might first believe. That's because Apple went to the extraordinary length of taking thousands of individual stills of each of the objects and then stitching them together to create a stunning time lapse sequence. So when you see the butterfly beating its wings; the flower opening and closing and the jellyfish swimming in time to the actual seconds ticking by, what you're seeing is a real, organic object slowly manifesting itself in front of you. Take the flowers: Apple took 24,000 separate shots over several months to get the look and feel it wanted. And if that’s not attention to detail, we're not sure what is. The end result of all Apple's efforts is certainly worth it. EXTRA! EXTRA! If you'd like even more Faces options for your Apple Watch, don't worry, as more will be coming very, very soon. In fact there's a very good chance that you may already be able to update your Apple Watch to watchOS 2 by the time you read this - and that includes five new Time-Lapse faces featuring stunning real-life animations of iconic locations, such as London and New York, plus new Photo and Photo Album faces that you can customise using your own images. Turn to page 54 to find out more. SIMPLE The clean lines of this face are great if you prefer a minimalist look. And they remain so even when you add Complications. You can also customise this face by changing its colours too. One for people who like their watches to look like watches. SOLAR No matter where you are in the world, this face enables you to see the sun's position relative to your current location. And by turning the Digital Crown you can also track the sun's position over time... all the way from dawn to midnight. UTILITY With the ability to add three separate Complications, this face is as practical as itis good-looking. Naturally you can customise the default colours too, while tapping on a Complication immediately takes you to the relevant app for more detail. The Ultimate Apple Watch Handbook | 47 aul| | INO} papin > OD o) se: S Ke) a) = ae) a) © VY Oo E O SS) 5 = Oo i) LQ > 2 GUIDED TOUR | Complications Complications ‘ou may have noticed that some traditional Y watches offer more than just a means of telling the time - they may have extra functions such as a calendar, a minute repeater and even a Tourbillon — a mechanical device that enables the watch to keep accurate time. Watchmakers call these added extras Complications (so-called because they ‘complicate’ the watch face). Complications on the Apple Watch work a little differently. Not only are their locations on the Watch face largely customisable, they can also give you quick access to the related app, if there is one. Tapping on the ‘Activity’ complication, for example, instantly takes you to the built-in Activity app, enabling you to see how much exercise you've done recently.

Setting up the Apple Watch ‘ow you have taken the plunge and bought yourself an Apple Watch you'll want to start using it as quickly as possible. But before you attach the Watch to your wrist for the first time there are a few things you need to do, such as choosing the right strap for the size of your wrist, and pairing your Apple Watch with your iPhone. The first thing you'll have to do when you fetch the Apple Watch from its packaging is flip it over and spot the two small indents next to the straps. These are the band release buttons. Press and hold cone and youll be able slide the band out sideways to remove it. Check in the Watch's packaging and youll find another band (you get one large and one small) We recommend you try both and then see which one fits best. Left Right During setup you'll be asked to specify which wrist you'll wear the The best way to get started with Apple Watch The next step is to pair your Apple Watch your iPhone. To do that, lay it ona flat surface — this makes automatic syncing easier (try to avoid manual syncing if possible). Now press the Side button (the small pill-shaped button below the Digital Crown) to turn on the Apple Watch. Now tap Start Pairing on both the Apple Watch, and in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. Done that? Now go through each step below and you'll be up and running in no time Simple Passcod: Unlock with iPhone Erase Data One of the first things to do is set Apple Watch on. This doesn't affect the Watch's display, incidentally, which is set separately. Combined, these choices tell the Watch the direction of movement that should cause its display to turn on when you raise your wrist. Don't worry if you're unsure, because all of these settings can be adjusted later. 58 | The Ultimate Apple Watch Handbook up a passcode on your Apple Watch in case in gets lost or stolen. The Watch uses sensors on its back to determine when you've taken it off, after which the passcode must be entered to use it. You'll be asked whether you want the Watch to unlock when you unlock your iPhone (as long as you are wearing the Watch). My Watch Airplane Mode Apple Watch Notifications Create a Passcode The default passcode for Apple Watch is four digits long, but tapping ‘Add a Long Passcode’ enables you to enter a 10-digit code. This is harder to bypass. You might also want to turn on the Erase Data setting, using the Apple Watch app on your iPhone (see My Watch > Passcode). When this is on, the Watch erases its contents after 10 incorrect attempts. Install Available Apps Install All When you are asked whether to you want to install all the Watch apps that are included with your iPhone apps, we think it’s better to install them later to speed up the setup process. Besides, installing every available app can make the Home screen overly busy. We think it’s best to wait until you're used to the Watch. And to only install the apps you really need. Apps can be rearranged (and third- party ones removed) directly from the Watch’s Home screen. Tap and hold an app icon until all the icons start to jiggle. You can also tap and hold an app icon to grab it, and then move it to a new position. To delete a third-party app (which will be indicated with across at its top-left), tap its icon swiftly and choose Delete App. | INSTALL APPS Apple Watch Is Syncing Your Apple Watch is almost ready. Now you've taken all these steps, your Apple Watch should now sync with your iPhone, and you can use it as soon as it finishes this process. It should take a few minutes. Strap on the Watch, tap the screen and enter your passcode. Now when you raise your wrist, the screen will spring to life. All you need to do now is organise the apps on the Watch's Home screen.

Discover what these gestures can do for you here... @ FRIENDS © WAKE UP 60 | The Ultimate Apple Watch Handbook TOP 10 GESTURES Essential interactions with your Apple Watch @ The Watch's most exciting gesture uses Apple's new Force Touch technology and is sometimes referred to as the Deep Press. This same gesture is found on the trackpad of Apple’s new MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops. It’s a much firmer press on the Apple Watch screen than a normal tap. The fastest way to see a deep press in action is to wake up your Watch and then press firmly on the watch face. The watch face bounces back to reveal its customisation options. (Lightly tap the screen to get out of this mode.) The deep press performs something different in each app (but nothing in Glances), so it’s worth trying when you install a new app. If no further options are available the screen briefly bounces back and forth.

The Ultimate Apple Watch Handbook | 61 Settings secrets Get deep inside the Apple Watch's settings he Apple Watch is a vastly more complex creature than you might imagine for something that comes in such a compact frame, with myriad options spread out across several areas. The first useful thing to know is that there are two places where you can configure settings. On the Watch's Home screen you'll find a Settings app that contains all the fundamental settings that you are likely to need for the latch’s basic operation. However, the Apple About Software Update Automatic Downloads Watch Orientation Accessibility Language & Region Mirror my iPhone Custom Show Alerts Sound Haptic 62 | The Ultimate Apple Watch Handbook Watch app on your iPhone presents many more settings options when you tap My Watch, making it the best place to start customising the settings on your new toy. Individual apps also often have their own customisable settings. To find out what they might be for any given app, perform a deep press to see which options appear. Some apps mirror the settings from the corresponding iPhone app. Make sure you check all of these places to fully customise your Watch's behaviour to better fit with you One important feature found in the Apple Watch app that isn’t on the device itself is software update. Go to General > Software Update and the app will check if a new version of watchOS is available and enable you to install it. Your Watch will need to be charging and have at least 50% battery power to use it. Receiving lots of notifications can soon get overwhelming. Calm things down by tapping Notifications to view the settings for each app. They might offer different settings, but most include two options: Mirror my iPhone (the default) and Custom. To adjust the former, head to Settings > Notifications on your iPhone. In the iPhone app, tap Custom to choose an app’s notification behaviour on your Watch. There are three options available: Show Alerts determines whether visual notifications appear on the screen, the Sound switch controls audible prompts, and Haptic decides whether the Watch gives you a gentle tap on the wrist. Some apps have more complex Notifications. For example, Activity presents separate controls for stand reminders (so you can stop your Watch telling you to stand up and move around), as well as progress updates during the day, daily goal completions, long-term achievements and a weekly summary.

Tap where it says ‘+0 min’ and rotate the Digital Crown to determine how far ahead you want to set the time, then tap Set. This only affects the watch face, the actual time is displayed elsewhere. Swipe up from the bottom of the watch face to open Glances, and then swipe right until you reach the left most one: the Settings glance. This contains shortcuts, which enable you to toggle Airplane Mode, Do Not Disturb and Silent Mode on and off with just a tap. The changes you make affect your iPhone too. The large capsule-like button across the bottom of the Settings glance is used to tell your iPhone to send out a pinging noise (reminiscent of a submarine radar). This is a great way to find your iPhone if you've put it down nearby, but can't remember exactly where you left it. If you miss a notification on your Apple Watch, ared dot appears at the top of the Watch face to let you know.

Yet Apple may be the only tech firm that can legitimately claim to repeatedly justify its use when talking about its own products. It should come as no surprise, then, that Apple is at it again, this time in the form of Apple Pay, the contactless payment system. The beauty of Apple Pay is that it is classically Apple. Simple and elegant, it combines the tech you've already got with a one-step payment process, all wrapped up in watertight security safer than traditional chip and PIN. All it needs is for you to place your iPhone or Apple Watch near any NFC card terminal and tap the Touch ID button. Sadly for UK consumers, many developments in mobile payments have debuted in the USA and Pay simpler than its rivals are not yet available here. One notable example is PayAnywhere, which plugs into an iOS device and functions as a mobile NFC terminal. This lets any retailer accept Apple Pay transactions, whether they have an NFC terminal or not. However, a major stumbling block is the way Apple Pay is tied to hardware. You need an iPhone 6, 6 Plus or 6s to use it. And in the opinion of Adam Davis, a consultant at financial industry analysts Capco, that could be a problem. ‘At the moment the iPhone leads the mobile market with over 40% share” he says. “And while that is an advantage, it means that a huge number of potential customers aren't using Apple devices — and so can't use Apple Pay. Accessibility is still the key barrier and one that Apple will have a challenge to overcome” And whereas before Apple's success depended in large part on how willing consumers were to buy its products, the company now has to also rely on how willing ™ Apple Pay s currently the market leading system. retailers are accept Apple Pay, which could be “an extra barrier to success’, according to Davis. One aspect that has received scant attention is the effect Apple Pay could have on in-app purchases, According to Marianne Berry, Managing Director of Payment Insights at Auriemma Consulting Group, “the impact of Apple Pay on mobile commerce is more significant than in-store if for no other reason than the size of the denominators.

NatWest Keep yor vowing pane, creme accounts for only a tiny fraction of the overall volume of payments at the point of sale, but for many mobile apps it’s a substantial share” Using Apple Pay to make in-app purchases is so useful because it bypasses the need to create an account or enter card details with retailers you may not entirely trust. Instead, payment is quick and secure, just as it would be with in-store Apple Pay transactions. And the impact of Apple Pay can be observed in the behaviour of many consumers. As Berry puts it, “Apple Pay users told us that they go to the App Store and
