Until now, Apple Watch information has either been from tightly controlled official plans or somewhat wild speculation about what the much–hyped device can really do.

But the revelations found buried inside the latest beta release of iOS 8 have dumped a ton of new details onto our virtual doorstep.

A new Apple Watch Companion iPhone app, which will be required in order to make to the smartwatch work, is the source of all the juicy info.

Screen shots have shown all the settings for the timepiece, replete with the inside line on the coolest features.

Here’s our pick of the five key new Apple Watch functions you need to know about.

Sure, that nest–like screen of apps looks great on the Apple Watch’s display.

But getting them into an order you want is going to require child–like fingers or impressive dexterity, right? Wrong.

Apple is going to let users rearrange apps via a virtual watch face, accessible from within the Companion app on an iPhone.

Think of it like sorting your iPhone or iPad apps via iTunes and you get the idea.
