This New Development Makes Pokémon Go WAY Better

Pokémon Go is about to get a lot easier — and more fun. You no longer have to look at your phone while walking or running, because Pokémon Go is coming to the Apple Watch!

While Apple Watch users will still have to open the app to catch a Pokémon, you'll be able to track which ones are nearby on your watch so you never have to miss any rare Pokémon again. You'll also be able to track how far you've walked and how close any eggs you're incubating are to hatching. And when they do hatch, you'll instantly see which Pokémon you got right on the screen.

As a bonus, you'll also be able to use your wrist to activate Pokéstops without having to pull out your phone. Your watch will vibrate, after which you just need to swipe to collect items, exactly like in the game.

The Apple Watch app will arrive later this year, but you can bank on the fact that we'll be watching and waiting for more details over the coming weeks.
