You have to imagine it for now, of course, because the Apple Watch doesn't currently have a camera, and Apple’s Visual Intelligence is still limited to the iPhone 16.

In 2022, nearly 80 percent of Apple iPhone owners also owned an Apple Watch, and it accounted for 56 percent of smartwatch sales in the North American market.
Most importantly, research suggests most people who own an Apple Watch are pretty satisfied with their device.
