What is the Apple Watch for without the iPhone nearby?

A couple of days before the launch of the Apple Watch the Cupertino company lifted the embargo on the media and they were able to publish their first unboxings, reviews and first impressions. Then came the first reviews based not on rumors but on experiences among which the limited autonomy of the apple watch stood out, there is not in terms of battery but with respect to the iPhone, however, it is also true that you can do several things with your Apple Watch without your iPhone being nearby.

What you can do with just your Apple Watch

El Apple Watch it is linked to our iPhone via Bluetooth but it also has Wi-Fi connectivity so, once you are in the area of ​​a "known network" you can send drawings, text messages and even use Siri freely.

Thanks to the built-in sensors, the Apple Watch It is able to count the steps taken, the stairs climbed, count the time you have been sitting, measure your heart rate, etc. on its own. It will store it in its internal memory and later it will dump that data in the Health or Activity app of iOS 8.

Furthermore, the Apple Watch It has NFC technology so you won't need your iPhone nearby to make payments. Of course, you will not be able to validate them using your fingerprint since the watch lacks Touch ID, for this you will need the iPhone.

Apple Pay on Apple Watch

Thanks to its, in my opinion, limited 2 GB of internal storage, you can store photos and music so, with the help of a bluetooth headset you can enjoy your favorite music but not streaming music services such as Spotify or the long-awaited "new Beats Music" that we hope to see in the already announced WWDC 2015.

Music on Apple Watch

You can also control the Apple TV and iTunes from your Apple Watch through the app Remote that comes natively incorporated.

And of course the Apple Watch It is a clock so you can set all kinds of alarms.
