It’s no secret that Apple has come out with something phenomenal for the fitness sector. It’s wearable device called Apple Watch. Here’s what the company revealed in its live feed about the features of its first wearable device. Here’s how it can help improve your health and fitness.

The watch’s crown is its control interface.
You can send someone with an Apple Watch your heartbeat using this watch. They can not only see the heartbeat but also feel it on their watch.
The watch lets you detect your pulse rate and share with your doctor digitally.
It also features an accelerometer and gyroscope.
You can set different taps for different reminders. This can come in handy if you want to set reminders for exercising, taking your medication, etc.
The Watch will help track calories for any activity you perform.
The device will help you sit less and work more.
There is a custom sensor in the watch which will measure intensity by tracking your heart rate.
According to Jay Blahnik, ‘Apple Watch is designed to help anyone who wears it lead a healthier life by being more active.’
One will be able to track their progress better and in more detail when synced with the fitness app on their iPhone.
The watch comes in a smaller size as well if you find the original one too big for your wrist.
You will need iPhone 5, 5s, 5c, 6 or 6 Plus to use Apple Watch.
Apple Watch pricing starts from $349 and will be available early next year.

Apart from the Apple Watch, Apple iPhone 6 will have an app called HealthKit which will help you monitor your health and fitness levels and sync all of it on your phone at one place.
