Pokemon Go has finally made its way into Apple Watch

Now Apple Watch owners can catch digital Charmander, Snorlax, Bulbasaur and other Pokemon from their wrist!

Niantic Labs, the inventor of Pokemon Go, launched an app for the Apple Watch enabling users to manage most of the in-game actions without using a smartphone. With a simple tap on your watch, you can collect items from pokéstops and see nearby monsters. Apple Watch owners can also log sessions as "a daily workout" in Pokemon Go with the watch’s built-in fitness features which will help them to hatch eggs and receive other rewards.

Pokémon Go on Apple Watch will send notifications when a Pokémon is nearby. You can also collect items and get information about a PokéStop or hatched egg directly from the Apple Watch screen.

However, there's a catch here. Though this version makes locating Pokemon easier than ever before, you cannot actually catch Pokemon with your Apple watch. To catch Pokemon, users still have to open the app on their phone.

“Apple Watch is particularly well suited to Pokémon Go as it seamlessly combines gameplay and imagination with getting exercise and exploring the real world,” the development team at Niantic wrote in a blog post. “You can easily interact with Pokémon Go on Apple Watch, using quick taps to discover nearby Pokémon and collect items from PokéStops. Once you encounter a Pokémon, you can catch it from your iPhone.”

Unlike Apple Watch, Pokemon Go Plus which was introduced by the developer company as a wearable gadget will actually help you to catch Pokemon without using your phone. However, the gadget is unavailable since its launch, so you'll have to connect your watch to your iPhone and catch as many Pokemon as possible.

Considering Christmas and New year is only a fortnight away, the timing is ideal for launching the app now.

Recently, the company partnered with Starbucks and Sprint for sponsored pokéstops and gyms and has also launched new in-game events. The company also launched the game in India with extra features.
