We already knew that fitness formed a big part of Apple Watch plans.

But now we know a whole lot more. You can use the Companion app to give you ‘stand reminders’, telling you to get off your backside if you’ve been sitting down for 50 minutes.

What’s more, you can get activity progress updates every four, six or eight hours, daily goal notifications and even a weekly summary of your fitness levels every Monday.

Because the Apple Watch lacks a keyboard because it's just too small to realistically tap out missives on the go, dictation plays a huge role when it comes to sending texts and email.

New drill-down features show that you can choose whether to have your dictated message sent as a transcript or audio file, while you can even set up default text replies.

As with the iPhone, you can choose to receive text alerts only from a select list of contacts, or bin them altogether.
