The Apple Watch is handy (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/23/djay-for-apple-watch-pro-video-mixing/) for a lot of things (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/24/apple-watch-apps/), and now you can use the wearable when you tune your axe. Thanks to the folks at IK Multimedia (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/05/ik-multimedia-irig-2-guitar-adapter/), when you employ the company's UltraTuner app for iOS, note info is beamed to your wrist while tuning that stringed instrument. The software's Stage mode offers a full-screen interface for maximum visibility, and when this setting is selected, a smaller version of the chromatic tuner is displayed on the wearable. IK Multimedia claims that UltraTuner is ten times more accurate than mechanical strobe options -- down to +/- 1/100th of a cent. As you might expect, those figures make it the most accurate tuner available for iOS. If you've already splurged for the $5 app, you'll need to update to the most recent version (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ultratuner-ultra-precise-chromatic/id727157150?mt=8) to pair it with the Apple Watch.
