Tomorrow Apple Watch will go on sale in Russia. For most third-party developers, three months have passed since launch smart watch in the first nine countries, there were too few to intelligently adapt their products to new platform. However, there are already plenty of examples of apps on the Apple Watch whose creators understand the benefits of wearable devices - or do something that Apple itself has not yet done.
Calcbot
A calculator app on a smartwatch, a nod to watches from the past with a real calculator, might seem like an obvious solution, but Apple's app doesn't have a Watch version. Calcbot is a worthy alternative. Not only does it perform basic arithmetic, but it also converts different quantities into other units of measurement, and also calculates how much to tip you should leave. And the most important thing is that it works quickly: it is much more convenient to count something on it than to take out the iPhone.
Evernote
The most powerful note-taking app fits perfectly into the new platform. You can quickly view recent notes, create and speak a new one, or find any note using voice search. This is suitable for those cases when you come up with an idea that is easier to say than to write, but you don’t have a smartphone at hand - and it helps to significantly speed up the creation of a note: after all, we usually speak faster than we write, and if something happens, we always take a note can be edited from another device.

Musixmatch

You launch a song, Musixmatch searches for it in its lyrics database and offers a kind of karaoke: the lines that the performer is singing or reading right now are highlighted. This is convenient when you are listening to something new or cannot make out certain parts of the tracks you like.
Overcast
Apple Watch doesn't have Apple's podcast app, but Overcast comes to the rescue. With it, you can control podcast playback just as easily as music playback, as well as skip and speed up parts.
NYTimes
So far, The New York Times has had the best feel for the short news format for wearable devices. Their Apple Watch app features multiple screens of recent important news, each in one sentence.
