Pokémon Go on Apple Watch vs. Pokémon Go Plus
As a location-based game, Pokémon Go is perfect for when you’re on your commute, walking to a store, or just out and about. However, there’s one big hassle to the experience: the need to have the app open and on your screen to track distance, ding nearby PokéStops, and try to catch Pokémon. That makes it difficult to play when you are, for example, holding the hand of a small child, carrying bags, or just simply trying to watch where you’re walking.
The , released in September, helps with a lot of that. It’s a tiny wearable device, worn around the wrist or clipped onto clothes, that buzzes and lights up any time you’re near a Pokémon or PokéStop, and can automatically snag items or try to catch the creature with a press of a button. It’ll also track all of your distance when active, which makes it easier to hatch eggs
