Today marks the Apple Watch 2nd birthday as it began shipping on April 24, 2015. Since then, Apple's newest product category since the iPad has evolved from an adjunct of the iPhone to a notable standalone fitness and health tracker as well as a key player not just in the smartwatch market but in the overall watch market.
Having used the Apple Watch and Apple Watch Series 2, there are key features that it delivers which few other wearables can offer. The ability to take and make calls when the iPhone is in your bag or pocket is convenient. Tracking fitness goals is also habit-forming and keeps active people on their toes. Being able to use Apple Pay without reaching for a phone is transformative, so it getting tickets and QR codes right out of your Watch.
