Just three months after Niantic had given the users a peek-a-boo into the app, the company has finally announced the arrival of Pokemon Go on Apple Watch. It seems that the wait for the arrival of this worldwide game on this iPhone platform has finally come alive.

However, it is way too soon for the fans to be elated. The users, now don't need to bring out their phone everytime they want to play Pokemon Go.

The latest game to make its appearance on Apple watch comes with a dashboard that displays the present level the game is at. That's not all, it is likely to show the distance which the player needs to cover to hatch the eggs.

Interestingly, as Business Insider has mentioned, the Smartwatch would allow gamers to log into the session just as a workout. For instance, users can see the distance they have travelled so far, the calories they have burned as well as the time taken to cover the distance.

What's really interesting here is that players can also use the app to collect items from PokeStop, find Pokemon on the go as well as find their workout quotient. In simple words, it combines gaming as well as workout in a platform which itself is unqiue, a watch.

According to Tech Crunch, the Pokemon Go players usually experience workout. The company, Niantic, users have walked about 8.7 billion kms in order to capture a Pokemon. This distance is almost equal to travelling 200,000 trips across the globe.

The latest Apple watch availablity of the game allows users to enjoy push notifications on the wrist. This app allows the users to receive recent updates related to the game. These include updates on the availability of a Pokemon nearby, when the eggs hatch, when there's a PokeStop closeby, when medals are awarded and so on.

However, it is too soon to be happy since users still need their phone when catching a Pokemon. The launch of Pokemon Go is a big step to regain the old gamers when the popularity of the game tries to cease.

It is a matter of time to see when and how soon the company rolls out the game on the  Apple Smartwatch.
