Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) will get more than a million units of the Apple Watch to fans of the device in the coming weeks but as soon as they’re done with the the defaults they’re going to want to know which Apps will best complete their wearable experience. Here’s a look at five of the best Apple Watch Apps that can be downloaded right away on Friday:
1 Epicurious Smart Timer
How are you going to get recipes at a glance? Comfortably according to Eric Gillen, editorial director of Epicurious. The firm’s first Apple Watch App is a timer with simple instructions that will allow users to follow step by step instructions without having to leave their kitchen, or clean their hands to use an iPad.
2 Slack
More and more workplaces are transition to Slack and similar services for their work management tasks. The app will allow you to reply to your most recent messages, but it will let you do so with a template if you so wish. That means you can quickly get through a backlog while on a commute, or out for a walk, something that the old inbox rarely allowed for.
3 New York Times
News stories at a glance may be the future. The New York Times is taking the lead in turning complex news pieces into single sentences for the Apple Watch. That doesn’t mean that the company will only be delivering headlines, it means that the firm will choose to deliver the news in one line, closer to a Tweet than anything else.
4 Mint
What if keeping track of your budget became as easy and habitual as tracking the time? With Mint, one of the most popular personal finance apps out there, on your wrist with the Apple Watch, you’ll be bale to do just that. Tim Cook may not have to keep track of his finances, but almost everybody else could use a little help in the area. Viewing your budget at a glance, as the Apple Watch will allow, is the first step in that direction.
5 Carrot Fit
This fitness app is not for everyone, but it demonstrates some of the strengths of the Apple Watch in one obnoxious little package. Fitness is one of the most notable uses of the Apple Watch, and Carrot Fit will keep the “personal” in what Apple executives like Angela Ahrendts are calling the most personal product Apple has ever made. Carrot Fit will do that, of course, by taunting you from your wrist.
The future of many interactions between people and their computers will take place on the wrist, and these Apple Watch apps show off a future that many have been looking forward to for years. It looks like there’ll be a lot of novelty in the first crop of Watch Apps, but developers will eventually figure out the strengths of the device and make Apple Watch interactions blend seamlessly with physical life.
