Your Apple Watch and iPhone go hand in hand — best pals that can sync up in ways you may not even be aware of yet. Whether you’re brand new to Apple Watch or have owned yours for some time now but tend to stick to the basics, it’s always a good idea to arm yourself with features that will make your experience even richer. These are the four life-changing features you didn’t know your Apple Watch could do.
Car Talk
“I would suggest you not to be deterred by the Apple Watch’s diminutive size, as it is capable of providing a comprehensive car diagnostic,” says Adam Wood, co-founder of RevenueGeeks. “While it is not feasible to start the engine from the watch, basic information about any registered car is accessible with a single tap. From the gas gauge to the tire pressure, this function is ideal for city commuters and local drivers who require a rapid overview of their vehicle. Tap the feature tire pressure, for example, to make a note of it for when the time comes to travel.”
Heart Rate Monitoring
“Prepare yourself, runners, for this feature is a deal-breaker,” says Wood. “Heart rate monitoring is popular in the fitness industry since it provides a wealth of information regarding cardiovascular health.”
Other health features you’ll find on your watch include mindfulness and sleep.

Stay Connected Wherever You Are
“Your Apple Watch can act as a mobile hotspot so that you can stay connected to the internet wherever you are,” says Jeff Cox, founder of Buy TV Internet Phone. “This means that you can use the watch to access online banking, schedule appointments, and more.”
It’s especially helpful for connecting and staying safe when you’re on vacation.
“If you're going on vacation, make sure to pack your Apple Watch with enough battery power to stay connected to the internet and contact emergency services if necessary,” Cox says. “You can also use the watch's location tracking feature to find your way.”
Monitor Your Finances
Your watch can even help you stick to a budget and not overspend.
“The built-in budgeting and spending feature on the Apple Watch makes it easy to keep track of your finances,” Cox says. “You can see how much money you have left in each category, see where you spend the most money, and more.”
If you’re on the fence about purchasing an Apple Watch or haven’t been putting it to good enough use, there’s no time like the present to invest in this accessory that can keep so many parts of your life on track.
