Apple stresses fitness tech
Apple made a big deal of the ability of its Health app and Apple Watch to track your activity and exercise.
Apple's Activity and Workout apps
Apple will include two fitness applications on its Apple Watch: the Activity and Workout apps.
Track how you move
The Activity app can keep tabs on how much you move, exercise, and even stand.
Work it out
The Apple Watch will have a Workout app that lets you log runs, bike rides, and walks.
Get credit for standing
The Apple Watch will give you brownie points for standing, a first for a wearable fitness tracker.
Your goal in sight
The Apple Watch's Workout app shows how far you need to go at a quick glance.
Move it to burn it
Easily see how much you have to move to burn the calories you want to negate.
Run it off
The same goes for the burn rate of your runs. Your calorie progress is displayed at a glance.
A little encouragement
The Workout app also pushes you by showing the halfway mark during runs.
This badge is for you
A health and fitness app wouldn't be one without awarding virtual achievement badges. The Apple Watch doesn't disapoint here, either.
