The Apple Watch is due to hit store shelves just under a month from now, and Apple Watch-enabled apps are beginning to show up in the iOS App Store.
Apps that include Apple Watch support include MLB.com At Bat, Evernote, Target, and a number of others.
Apple Watch apps are included in iPhone apps as the iPhone drives the app while a UI is displayed on the Apple Watch. While apps that run completely on the Apple Watch are on the way, they won’t be here in the first wave of releases.
