The Apple Watch is one of those devices that no one really needs, but once you get one, it's hard to imagine going without it. Think of it as an extension of your iPhone — you can check notifications and perform basic Siri tasks as long as your iPhone is in Bluetooth range, even if it's in the other room. It tracks your sleep, gathers detailed metrics about your workouts, and has a whole bunch of other useful hidden features like unlocking your Mac. As long as you know all the caveats before buying an Apple Watch, it's full steam ahead to your local Apple Store to grab the latest Apple Watch Series 10. So the next question is: Which apps should you get?

After spending hundreds of dollars on a watch, you're probably not in the mood to spend even more for apps. After all, this is Apple we're talking about, where iPhone users habitually pay seven times that of their Android counterparts. Fortunately, the Apple Watch App Store has a bunch of freebies that are just as good as paid alternatives. Check out these 11 free Apple Watch apps to make the most of your device.

Keeping up-to-date with your flight before you get to the airport involves either using your airline's probably-terrible app or a sketchy free flight tracking website. Flighty will make you never touch those things again. It's a one-stop shop to track everything concerning an upcoming flight: check-in times, boarding times, delays, gate changes — you name it. The app is reliable, easy to use, and the free version offers impressive functionality. Best of all, it has a great Apple Watch version.
