You can track workouts without taking your phone:


Use Apple Watch without its paired iPhone

Although you need an iPhone to do most things with Apple Watch, you can still do several things with Apple Watch without having an iPhone in range.

  • Play music from a synced playlist on Apple Watch
  • Use the watch, alarms, timers, and the stopwatch
  • Keep track of your activity (stand, move, exercise) with the Activity app
  • Track workouts
  • Display photos from synced photo albums
  • Use Apple Pay to make purchases. See Make purchases with Apple Pay on page 58.
