The apps are currently available on Apple’s other hardware such as the iPhone and/or iPad, though they’ve each had Apple Watch support added to them via updates this week. Though more apps are likely to have Watch support added before its release on April 24th, at least we can now know what apps will definitely be available to download right out of the starting gate for the upcoming wearable.
Here’s a rundown of each app that boasts Watch support:
