Pokemon Go Coming to Your Apple Watch!

Well normally our watch just tells us the time. For goodness sake we’re living in the 21st Century we should be watching TV or catching Pokemons with it! Oh wait, we can do that now? Well we can’t really catch Pokemon with our watch, but we do get notified when there’s a nearby Pokemon or Pokestops around you with the Apple Watch!

There has been rumors hovering around our heads about Pokemon Go NOT coming to the Apple Watch in the new future because Niantic was coming up with their own wearables. We got the first part of the rumor wrong because there will be an update that brings the game to the Apple Watch. The new update will let you explore the world around you without constantly checking your phone, instead you just check your wrist. It’s fairly convenient I’d say. You can also hatch your Pokemon eggs.

It’s pretty easy to navigate the watch. You basically tap the screen on your watch and navigate the UI to collect items from PokeStops. However when you do encounter a Pokemon, you’ll be notified on the watch, but you still need to pull out your phone to catch it. So for everything that you do on the watch will be linked to your Pokemon Go Activity ring. If you own an Apple Watch, it will definitely make it easier to catch specific Pokemons.
