Go For a Swim
Got an Apple
Watch Series 2? Banish your natural inclination not to get your electronics
wet. While the first version
of the Watch was water resistant, the new Series 2 model is capable of
being submerged up to 50 meters, so it's perfect for your workout swim in the
local pool.
Just remember to use the Water Lock feature to eject any
extra water from the speaker opening after your workout. Water Lock kicks in
automatically when you start a swimming workout, and you can unlock the screen
(and clear out water) when you're done by turning the digital crown. (Keep in
mind that if you take a swim in the ocean, you also probably want to rinse off
the salt water with fresh water afterwards.)
Control your home theater/Apple TV
Did
your remote slip between the couch cushions again? No worries: your Apple Watch
can control a number of home theater devices, and it never leaves your wrist.
For example, if you have an Apple TV,
you can use the Apple Watch's Remote app to swipe around the set-top box's
menus, start and pause playback, and more. If you've got a Harmony Hub setup,
you can also run scripts from your Watch to turn on and off your home theater
devices by using the IFTTT
app on your Watch, though it won't yet let you do anything beyond
that.
Talk to your car
If you've got a modern automobile, your Apple Watch may
offer you ways to check on your car's status and even interact with it.
Offerings from Mercedes
Benz, BMW, Porsche, VW and
more let you do things like lock and unlock your car's doors, honk the horn,
check battery levels on electric cars, and even help you find your parked car.
If you've got an older car, an aftermarket option from Viper includes
an app to let you lock, unlock, and start your car remotely. It's no KITT from
Knight Rider, but then again, what is?
