And you can change the app list from a grid view (which isn't the best) to a list view which is easier to see.

^ This.

When the Apple Watch first came out, I thought it was the most non-functional device. Why would I need a watch that is just a small mirror screen to my phone that is always nearby? How wrong I was...

Want to know how your stock is doing? Just a tap on the face of the watch will get you there.

If I want to pause the music or podcast on my phone, it will allow me to do so, and remind / fast forward as well.

The AppleWatch interfaces with Apple Maps and will show you turn by turn directions, and will tap you twice for right hand turns, three times for lefts, and other 'haptic' responses for other directions.

Meetings / Calendar function is outstanding to keep track of the next meeting I need to hop on to for work.

Activity app allows you to keep track of your steps, time standing, and exercise. Exercise mode allows you to select different exercise modes to keep track of those certain types of workouts.

If I get a text msg, it pops up on the phone, and I can just glance at the watch and determine if I need to respond or not. Phone calls - same thing. Plus I can answer the phone call with the watch - I mean really, don't tell me you never wanted to be like Dick Tracy...

The EKG function will determine if your Sinus Rhythm is off or not, and will warn you if there are any signs of atrial fibrillation. A few weeks after my friend at work got his Apple Watch, it told him his sinus rhythm was off. A doctor's consult determined his heart was having trouble. This was followed by heart surgery. The Apple Watch may have saved his life.

If you are a diabetic, and use a CGM (continuous glucose monitor), you can see your blood sugars on the face of the watch. Quite helpful in the middle of the night - just tap the screen, and you know what your sugars are, instead of looking at your phone, or worse, having to poke your finger. The watch will also beep and vibrate and wake you up if your sugar is too low. Very helpful and can prevent a potential lower blood sugar situation.

And that's just scratching the surface.
