Apple has launched a third update to the "Guided Tours" section on its dedicated Apple Watch website, showcasing new walkthrough videos on using Apple Pay and the Workout and Activity apps on the device. Apple first debuted its Guided Tour website on April 3 and has been gradually adding instructional videos to help people discover all of the things that the Apple Watch is able to do.

The Apple Pay video walks through how Apple Pay is used on the Apple Watch at a location that accepts contactless payments. Double clicking the side button and holding a wrist to the payment terminal initiates a payment, which is confirmed with a vibration and a beep. The video also covers how to add a credit card to an iPhone using Passbook.

With the addition of the Apple Pay, Workout, and Activity videos to the Guided Tours page, all of the "Coming Soon" videos are now available to prospective Apple Watch buyers. The completion of the page comes just a few days ahead of the Apple Watch's official launch on April 24. Apple Watch orders have already begun shipping out to customers, and the first early pre-orderers will get their devices on Friday.

Who the f cares. No good without a watch in/on your hand!

Notice they're letting AA take all the heat? Where he hell is Cook? Hiding,as he damn well should be.
 
These are so much fun to watch! Now we can have an idea of how to use some of the features ahead of wearing them
 
NICE! I was wondering how the watch would work with my TICKR heart rate strap...slightly iffy about countdowns, especially for 5k races, but all good! :D

The interface is really great. The functionality and UX blows anything in Android Wear away.

I mean no offense, but I'm struggling to find a single thing that resembles a sensible point in your comment. :confused:

Maybe you need remedial understanding classes.

Having the watch actually on your wrist will let you explore it. Because of the botched "launch", they want you to live vicariously through these little videos. They're just throwing you a little bone to molify you.

The AA/Cook comment was just a throw-in. :)

The videos are there for when you get the watch in your hands. :rolleyes:
 
So it's confirmed that Apple Watch can track distance to some degree without GPS. That is good to hear.

My original comment stands, but thanks for trying to explain anyway. I mean that.

Can apple pay on watch work without the iPhone.....if the card is initially stored and set up via iPhone, then subsequently, could you just use the watch?

Yes, Apple Pay will definitely work on the watch without an iPhone present. This has been confirmed by Apple.

Correct. Apple Pay stops working, though, once the watch is taken off (via one of its sensors). You'd just have to authenticate it when you put the watch on again. :)
