It’s a new day with the Apple Watch Series 7! Whether you are new to Apple products, an expert, or somewhere in the middle, the book design makes it easy to find what interests you. While all the information in this book is available online, I created this book because I think there is a real benefit to clear step-by-step examples and diagrams. There are also thorough explanations of core topics like complications and gestures. While gathering material for this book, I focused on organizing topics to create a detailed Table of Contents and an Index. It can be frustrating when unfamiliar with the language, so I added Index topics to bridge the gap between everyday terms like “screen” and technical jargon like “Watch Face.”

While I think of my Apple Watch as a portable iPhone, it also has monitors, sensors, and algorithms designed as health aids. For example, when your Apple Watch detects a hard fall, it automatically calls for help. The data gathered by workout and health apps include mobility, balance, ECG, heart rate, blood oxygen, respiratory rate while sleeping, and dozens more.

In the Health chapter, we look at navigating the health apps and sharing data with your family or doctor. The Fitness chapter covers workouts and the new Apple Fitness+ service with dozens of studio workouts that display your Apple Watch activity statistics live on the screen as you work out. I like the “Workouts for Older Adults” that focus on mobility and core strength for balance and walking- steadiness. There are also Artist Spotlight Series with playlists from Lady Gaga, Keith Urban, or others.

After navigating setup, basic features, and 45+ Apple Watch apps, we look at integration platforms like Siri Shortcuts and IFTTT, where you combine information to create multi-step tasks. We also explore a few examples, like creating a shortcut that uses your GPS location to remind you to pick up milk when you leave a particular place or take medicine at a scheduled time. Finally, we review dozens of third-party apps organized into these categories.

– Calendars and Reminders
– Grocery and Cooking
– Entertainment
– Games
– Health and Fitness
– Photography and Video
– Productivity
– School Apps
– Smart Home Apps
– Sports and the Great Outdoors
– Travel
– Weather

Accessibility features are a huge part of the Apple Watch. They include options to deliver notifications with a tap on your wrist or alert you to common sounds like a siren or beep when a microwave timer finishes. To learn how to control your watch with hand motions like a flick or pinch, check out the Accessibility chapter.

While you can use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby, the Apple iPhone is an integral part of setting up your watch and your day-to-day experience. To avoid interrupting the flow of Apple Watch details, I added comments referring to the appropriate topic in two separate iPhone chapters if you want additional details. The iPhone chapter covers iPhone setup, screens, and gestures. Another chapter reviews the iPhone apps you are likely to use with your Apple Watch.
