The Crash Detection feature can detect if you’ve been in a car crash and can alert your emergency contacts as well as emergency services to save your life.

Activity Monitoring

Activity Rings on the Apple Watch are a way of motivating the user to stay fit and get more workout done. The three activity rings include move, exercise and stand which keeps a track of your state of movement and alerts you if you’re moving towards your goal.

Workout Tracking

With the Apple Watch, you can track all your activities such as walking, running, cycling, rowing and even high-intensity interval training. With the Workout app on the Apple Watch, you get real-time feedback of various exercise metrics such as distance covered, altitude, heart rate and more.

Heart Rate Monitoring and ECG

Apple Watch can not only monitor your heart-rate but it can now take on-the-go ECG to monitor your heart-rate if it elevates. There have been many cases in the past where this feature has saved a person’s life by tracking and alerting of irregular heart-rate.

Apple Pay

Contactless payments are becoming more and more popular especially since the Covid-19 pandemic. Apple Pay allows you to store your card information and make payments via your watch itself. Be it at restaurants, gas stations or paying for your train tickets, your Apple Watch allows you to do all these activities and more via the Watch itself.
