Here are our favorite apps to install on a new Apple Watch.

Streaks

The fun of Streaks is that it gamifies just about any habit that you put into the app.

Things 3 sits somewhere in the middle, and I find it difficult to live without.

Its also a fantastic watch app, letting you check off items or edit them on the fly.

you might add also notes via dictation.

If you like it, the Mac and iPad versions are also available separately.

The exercise-tracking app is, alongsideAllTrails, one of the most popular in its field.

Spotify

Sure, Apple Music users can skip this one, but Spotify is remarkably well integrated into watchOS.

We’re particularly big fans of this app because it syncs so nicely across multiple devices.
