If you protect your Apple’s computers with passwords, they can unlock by themselves if you get near them wearing the watch. At the same time, there is a ping on your wrist notifying you that it was the watch’s doing. To use this function, visit the System Preference on your Mac, click on Security & Privacy, and then allow the watch to unlock other devices.

Use The Apple Watch As A Remote Control

Apple TV comes with its own remote control, but if you have something that can be a replacement, things will get a lot easier. The remote control can get lost easily between the couch cushions, but if the alternative is right on your wrist, you do not have to look around anymore.

Use The Dock To Create Shortcuts For All The Apps You Want
