The Apple Watch won't arrive until spring next year, but Apple continues to reveal what its new watch will be capable of after releasing developer tools. They will not only display the time, but also the sunrise, stocks or the phase of the moon.

Apple is quietly expanding its marketing page with Apple Watch, where three new sections have now been added – time keeping, New ways to connect a Health & Fitness.

Not just a time indicator

In the Timekeeping section, Apple shows how widely the Watch will be used in terms of displayed data. In addition to the classic dial, which will have an infinite number of forms, including digital ones, etc., the apple watch will also show the so-called Complications. You will be able to display an alarm clock, moon phase, timer, calendar, stocks, weather or sunrise/sunset around the watch face.

Furthermore, Apple shows an abundance of so-called Faces, that is, in the form of dials and their wide possibility of customization. You can choose between chronographic, digital or very simple watches, but you can also choose how detailed you want the dial to be - from hours to milliseconds.

Wide range of communication options

New ways of communication that Apple Shows, we already knew most of it. Quick access to your closest friends by using the button next to the digital crown ensures you can connect with your friends as quickly as possible. You can communicate with them in addition to the classic ways (phoning, writing messages) also through drawing, tapping on the display or even through the heartbeat, but this is no longer news.

You will instantly know on your wrist if someone is sending you a message. A notification will appear across the entire screen and when you raise your hand, you will read the message. If you put your wrist back to the horizontal position, the notification will disappear. Responding to incoming messages should be similarly fast and intuitive - ideally you choose from the default responses or send a smiley, but you can also create your own response.

It should also be easy to manage e-mails on the Watch, which you can read on your wrist, assign a flag to them or delete them. For greater convenience when writing a reply, you can then turn on the iPhone and, thanks to the connection of both devices, continue where you left off in the Watch.

Apple writes about communicating with the Watch: “Not only will you receive and send messages, calls and email with greater ease and efficiency. But you will express yourself in new, fun and more personal ways. With Apple Watch, every interaction is less about reading words on a screen and more about making real connections.”

Measuring your activity

Also information from the section Health & Fitness Apple has revealed a lot before. Apple Watch will not only measure your activity when you do sports, but also when you climb stairs, walk your dog, and count how many times you stand up. Each day they will then present you with the results, whether you have met the set goals for movement and exercise, or whether you have not sat down all day.

If you fail to meet the goals, the Watch will notify you. It can also turn into your personal trainer, knowing exactly how you move and recommending how you should move. In connection with the iPhone and the Fitness application, you will then receive a complete report in a clear and comprehensive form on a larger display.

We have a lot of information about the Apple Watch they found out also a week ago when Apple released developer tools for its upcoming product. For now, the Apple Watch will only be able to be used in conjunction with an iPhone, and two types of resolutions are important for developers.

Apple Watch should be released in the spring of 2015, but the Californian company has not yet announced a closer date.
