Combining Apple Watch and iPhone opens up a world of features that make each device better. You can do things like create a custom route with Maps on your iPhone, then download it to your watch to use any time. Or start a cycling workout on your watch and see your metrics automatically appear as a Live Activity on your iPhone.

Apple Watch supercharges your Fitness+ experience with real‑time, personalized metrics onscreen, like your heart rate, calories burned, and Activity rings.²⁶ And you get the freedom of audio‑guided walks, runs, and meditations with just your watch and AirPods.

You can do so much with just Apple Watch and AirPods — all without your iPhone. Take calls, stream music and podcasts, hear incoming notifications. Even respond to messages with Siri.
