Organize and get more apps on Apple Watch
Your Apple Watch includes apps for a variety of communication, health, fitness, and timekeeping tasks. You can also choose to install third-party apps you have on your iPhone, and get new apps from the App Store. All your apps are on a single Home screen.
Note: When you get a new app from the App Store for watchOS, the iOS version of the app is installed on the paired iPhone.
