watchGPT added to Apple Watch Store
It had to happen, I guess. The somewhat infamous chatGPT is now available as a new Watch app called watchGPT from Apple’s app store (here).
WatchGPT is a standalone app with no iOS companion that can be used on any Apple Watch running watchOS 7, 8 or 9. It cost me £3.99 ($3.99/€ 4,99). You can start it as an app or from a watchface complication.
It offers a range of features, including voice commands, text-to-speech capabilities, and the ability to save and view previous conversations.
As with ChatGPT/OpenAI, users can ask the AI language model questions, and get personalized responses based on their input. The app uses natural language processing to understand user queries and generate human-like responses.
Q: Is it any good?
A: No. Not really. It’s like a less useful version of Siri which costs $3.99. The interface needs some streamlining
Does it tell you the weather? No,
Can it control your Homekit appliances? No,
Can if find stuff? No,
So there is none of the clever Apple interactivity. However, I’ll update this post in a few weeks if watchGPT starts to give better responses than Siri to things a little more advanced than queries of Wikipedia. Though, to be fair, I don’t ask too much of my Watch on that front….#MustTryHarder
Alternative
A cheaper alternative is WatchAI.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.
