How to teach it

Plan once on your iPhone or iPad, then teach from your wrist, your iPhone, or an iPad. Apple Watch shows the current move, the countdown, and what is up next, with a tap at every step change and five seconds before it. Your coaching cues appear with each move as a reminder for you. Cues are silent until you turn them on.
