Calls and messages

You can also respond to your messages with preset answers, or with the Scribble writing function. Do you get a call, but you can't find your iPhone? You can answer the call with your Apple Watch while you look for your iPhone. Found it? You can simply continue your phone call on your iPhone.
Alarm clock and calendar
You can leave your iPhone outside your bedroom with the Apple Watch around your wrist. The Apple Watch also functions as an alarm clock. Thanks to an audio signal or vibrations around your wrist, you can wake up while your partner continues sleeping. The calendar app on the Apple Watch synchronizes with your iPhone calendar and reminds you of your meetings throughout the day. This way, you'll never miss a meeting.
Apple Pay
Thanks to Apple Pay, you can leave your debit card at home. That's because you can make contactless payments both via your iPhone and Apple Watch. You don't have to rummage through your bag for your debit card anymore. You just hold your wrist against the card reader, and you're done. You can also add your credit card to your Apple Pay cards.
