Apple Watch The Apple Watch is just a watch in the same way that the iPhone is just a phone. In fact, it serves as an invaluable extension of the latter. From the office to the gym and even the golf course, it soon becomes a necessary part of just about any activity—or inactivity for that matter; it will give you a gentle nudge if you’ve been sitting on your butt for too long. In fact, each generation of Apple Watch has gotten better and better at keeping an eye on your health. It can alert you to abnormal heart activity and let you view your ECG. It can monitor sleep and work with your iPhone’s Health app to give you an overall picture of how you’re doing and progress you’ve made. Your phone’s notifications pop up on the screen with a silent haptic buzz on your wrist. It also works as a safe and secure Apple Pay station. At just about any point-of-sale terminal that lets you tap your card, the Apple Watch can stand in and keep a record of your recent purchases, as well. Seriously, the Apple Watch is one of those things where you start out asking why you need it and end up wondering how you could have ever lived without one. Apple Watches start at $399 for the aluminum model. apple.com/watch
