What can your Apple Watch do without your iPhone?

苹果

年代trapped to your wrist, the Apple Watch goes everywhere that you go. Between it and the iPhone, it’s almost possible to leave your wallet at home. But what happens to the Watch when you leave youriPhoneat home?

年代mart as the Apple Watch is, it’s still dependent on your smartphone for a number of its most common features, most notably anything that requires access to the Internet or pulls data from apps on your phone. But even should your iPhone be elsewhere—or off—your Apple Watch is still a pretty competent device.

时间就是生命

显然,手表可以告诉你的时间是否iPhone周围与否。如果不能,那将是彻头彻尾的坚果。

首先,苹果手表是watch, so it’s probably a good thing that it’ll keep telling time even when your phone isn’t around—otherwise, it’s a very expensive wrist weight. But the good news is that all the time-related features of the Apple Watch—the world clock, alarms, timer, and stopwatch—continue to work as well. So at worst, you’re still left with a very capable timepiece.

Move around

由于Apple关注跟踪与自身的传感器的活动,活动的应用程序的工作原理相同的,如果你的iPhone存在或不存在。(点击放大。)

健身和运动显然是什么样的Apple关注可以做的很大一部分,所以这是一个很好的事情,大多数的这些功能继续工作,即使你的手机是不是在附近。You can continue to track your move, exercise, and stand progress in the Activity app or glance, so don’t worry if you take a walk without your iPhone—you’ll still get credit for those calories burned and time spent exercising and standing, so you can be sure to hit all your Activity goals. You can also continue to use the Heart Rate glance to check in on that as well.

它的工作好

If you log an iPhone-free exercise session with the Workout app, you'll get everything but a GPS routing of your route. But how often do you look at your old running routes anyway?

如果你想要去跑步,而不必手提包笨重的手机,Apple关注的运动能力是非常自给自足。手表的所有机载传感器,如加速计和心脏监测仪中,继续卡车,即使您的手机不在身边。刚刚火起来的锻炼应用,挑选你的运动类型和目标,并留下了iPhone在家里。

听着

But what’s a workout without some music? While the Apple Watch can be used to control music on your iPhone, it can also store tunes locally. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone and select Music. Tap Synced Playlist and you’ll see a list of your existing iTunes playlists (synced via iCloud); the songs on that playlist will be available even when your phone isn’t around.

一旦配对蓝牙耳机或扬声器,可以播放直接在Apple关注存储的音乐。

Of course, the Apple Watch has far less storage onboard than even the stingiest of iPhones. You can use the Playlist Limit option to adjust how much space is devoted to music, either in terms of raw capacity (100MB, 500MB, 1GB, or 2GB) or number of songs (15, 50, 125, or 250). Think of it more or less like an iPod shuffle that you wear on your wrist.

But you can't listen to your music on the Apple Watch's built-in speakers—and probably wouldn't want to anyhow. Instead, connect a pair of Bluetooth headphones, or even a Bluetooth speaker if you're staying put. Just put your headphones into pairing mode, launch the Settings app on the watch, tap Bluetooth, and wait for the headphones to show up under the Devices heading. Tap to pair, and you’re all set.

照片完成

You can save your favorite photo album to your Apple Watch—use the Digital Crown to zoom in on the grid of images, and then swipe between individual photos with your finger.

As with music, the Apple Watch spares some local storage space for photos. By default, it syncs photos you’ve marked as Favorites on your iPhone or in Photos for Mac, though you can select another album for it to sync. And like music, you can choose how much space to devote to storing photos locally: From 5MB (25 photos) to 75MB (500 photos). Since they’re stored locally, you can always pull those photos up on your phone, just in case you want to remember what your loved ones look like in those trying moments when you can’t get online.

缓存声望

抓住机会赶上旧的电子邮件。您无法回复到钟表(你必须交给另一个装置)通过电子邮件发送,但你可以将邮件标记跟进,或者删除你不需要的人。

While the lack of a network connections means you won’t get anynew在你的Apple关注信息,以至于一直数据下载的存在仍然有效。因此,通过邮件,日历和消息应用程序中浏览会告诉你什么信息是当前最后一次你有你的手机连接。你可以阅读邮件,浏览约会,并检查你的消息记录到你的心脏的内容。

At a glance

当你的iPhone连接,一些目光仍然会工作像正常的,而其他的(看着你,MLB)可能会有点落后。

最后,虽然一些第三方应用,当你没有你的手机是那些需要有效的数据连接也不会太有帮助,许多Apple关注的目光都将仍然是有用的,虽然有点陈旧。大多数人会继续显示任何信息最近被取出,用一记什么时候正是一览最后更新。因为有时旧闻比好消息好。

苹果Pay

其中一个Apple关注的最大特色,就是它带给苹果支付到另一台设备。一旦你使用Apple关注的iPhone应用程序设置你的卡,你不需要iPhone周围进行购买,因为Apple关注有其自身的安全元素存储设备的ID号。当它的时间来进行付款时,只需轻按Apple关注的按钮两次,使您的默认卡到屏幕上。(如果你有一个以上的卡,你可以在它们之间在这一点上进行切换。)然后把你的手表,以支付终端,你可能有指向屏幕朝下,离你而去,但你会听到蜂鸣声,并感觉当交易进入一个时髦通过。

苹果公司支付是在Apple关注真棒,比用iPhone 6和6此外,甚至更好。

如果你把它关闭,这意味着如果你失去了它,或者它被偷了,谁就拥有无法使用苹果付费,除非他或她可以用它的密码解锁看你的Apple关注将自动锁定。您可以通过简单地解锁你的iPhone可选解开Apple关注,因此,如果您即将在同一时间失去他们两个偏执狂,你可能希望把这一选项关闭在Apple关注的iPhone应用程序。(这是在我的监视>密码,在“解锁与iPhone。”)

Granted, an Apple Watch without a data connection may not have quite the same smartwatch appeal, but at least there should be enough to do to tide you over until you’re reunited with your iPhone once again.
