None of that functionality is specific to an "Apple Watch" though.

It's fascinating, and somewhat exasperating, to see how well their brand marketing works. They've managed to take over the word Watch-with-a-capital.

Not specific to Apple, as always.

But implemented with care, as always.

You can switch between a white light and red light. The light automatically dims if you look at the watch and brightens when you aim it away. You can turn off the light by putting your palm on the display.

This is called User eXperience, which is what Apple excels at. Other companies quite often have the exact same features before Apple does - on paper - but the implementation is haphazard at best.
