  • I used this app once at a wedding ceremony. The ceremony began with a solemn service held under an outdoor canopy known as the chuppah. The bride circles the groom seven times and they recited seven blessings. And at this precise moment my Apple Watch Stopwatch App started chiming. Wow, everybody was shocked. They were mad at me.

  • I don’t know if this is the complete guide about the Stopwatch application, but I have the Apple Watch Sport, and Apple Watch Sport is meant for sports, fitness and outdoor activities. It can plot your pulse and calculate your calories spent and meters walked. Take Apple Watch Sport to your gym, go digital! Why should I use Stopwatch app when in real life I always try not to forget about all its nice features.

  • Why are you talking about Apple Sport? They are not different from any other Apple Watch in this matter. You can easly change any app, add or remove them the only difference is the name and the brand behind (Nike in this case).
