GoKawiilGoKawiil rounds up five Apple Watch apps with fully free wrist features
Many Apple Watch apps labeled free on the App Store restrict their on-device functionality behind paid tiers, with examples including Spotify, Pocket Casts, Footpath and Komoot. In response, a list of five apps has been compiled where core Apple Watch features work without payment. All five run on watchOS 27, released alongside iOS 27 in September 2026, and support Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2, SE 3 and newer models.
