Companion App

[!!!]

When I was looking at the Watch website, i noticed it said: "To see your progress and trends over longer periods of time, there’s Fitness, an Apple Watch companion app on your iPhone." So does that mean there will be another app called Fitness on your iPhone, or is it just part of the regular companion app?

The quote was from here: https://www.apple.com/watch/health-and-fitness/

...there’s Fitness, an Apple Watch companion app...

It's the Fitness App. You also see a screenshot of it next to the text you quoted.

Activity app will deal with all things fitness. Companion app will deal with Apple Watch settings eg. Home screen layout. See iOS 8.2 beta 4 threads. It's unlikely the two will be intertwined. Companion app may even just be in Settings on the iPhone.

Oh yeah it is. I quite like the look of that app

Personally, couldn't Fitness be rolled into Health, so there's just a new 'Fitness' section of Health. Seems silly to have an extra app.

Is that a sign that the 'standard' watch, i.e the one used in marketing will be the Stainless Steel with White Sport Band.

I think that is what you get on the iPhone simulator for iOS 8.2 beta 5 that came out today.

also the Apple Watch settings
