With the launch of the Apple Watch, the Cupertino giant is not only marketing its wearable as its most "personal product yet", but is also playing on the fact that the gorgeous creation is an "incredibly precise timepiece", and that it offers "entirely new ways to stay in touch" as well as introducing "a smarter way to look at fitness". It's highly likely that the marketing spiel will ultimately appeal to a lot of consumers and make the difference between whether they purchase the device or not, but what about the extended capabilities of the Apple Watch that can be unlocked through the use of third-party apps? We take a look at a couple that can be used to turn Apple's new product into a powerful TV remote.

When Apple initially announced the Apple Watch, it didn't really come as any great surprise. After all, it seems that a company like Apple simply cannot design and implement a new product range without some kind of leak making its way into the public domain. After the initial excitement surrounding the technical specifications and what the device would actually be natively capable of, the attention has now turned to what third-party developers will do with their software to get the most out of Apple's "most personal product yet." The Wdgts app, which has been readily available for Apple's other iOS devices for quite some time, immediately seems like it could offer the perfect functionality for the small screen of the Apple Watch. Thankfully, its developers thought exactly the same and have released a 1.0.4 update to offer support for the Apple Watch.
