Welcome to the Apple Insider Podcast.

I'm Victor and joining me is William Gallagher.

Hello, William Gallagher who is in fact this second, you don't know this because it's

this second perplexed for the first time ever, my watch is crashed I was just checking see why

I had tapped you on the wrist when he said that and it's locked up with a clear

all message okay and you can you can't tap it or anything.

No, it responds to a tap but then just doesn't do anything.

Yeah, so you can see it moved the icon and then it just goes, yeah, I don't care.

So, I might restart it while you tell me things. I trusted my Apple Watch.

And lots of people do trust their Apple Watch, so much so that I'm just going to talk to you a little bit about a story about Apple Watch.

Now Apple Watch Connected is this new program and gyms and fitness facilities and so forth can partner with Apple to use the Apple watch in tracking workouts, earning rewards, and buying products or services.

So there's there's base camp

YMCA, Orange Theory, and Crunch Fitness, and they've partnered with Apple

to launch this new Apple Watch Connected program so members of those firms can book

classes, byproducts, and earn workout rewards using the

Apple watch. face it I'm never going to fool anybody. I'm not a gym kind of guy because I know Apple had this thing of

Creating something in a gym kit isn't it that your watch could pair to the machine in front of you and swap data. But this is something else completely. It's while you're there, you can book classes through your watch and also earn rewards from them.

I mean, it's some of that right I mean you can earn

rewards for performing fitness and and that you can certainly purchase services and classes and things through the watch.

But the, but they also have to accept Apple pay.
