100 Apple Watch Apps for Business, Fitness, Travel and More

The Apple Watch will launch on April 24, and everyone is looking forward to finding out what the new device will be able to do. We know it will come with at least 20 pre-loaded apps made by Apple, which the company tells you all about here. But what are other Apple Watch app developers building for the new smartwatch?
