Wearable technology is continuing to grow in popularity. Whether it is a fitness tracker or a smartwatch, these items make it easier than ever to keep up with whatever it is that you are interested in without having to so much as reach into your pocket to do so. For sports bettors, this means being able to do research, make your wagers, and keep track of those bets all from your wrist, combining the fun of online sports betting with the convenience of the wearable tech craze. These top sports betting apps for Apple Watch are at the forefront of the smartwatch sports betting revolution.
 | Announced on the same day as the release of the Apple Watch, William Hill has been ahead of the game since day one when it comes to Apple Watch sports betting. Offering a summary of the top bets of the day, as well as a two tap process for placing a wager, their app realizes that ease of use has to make up for the limited screen space on the Apple Watch. The William Hill Apple Watch app is available anywhere that the William Hill iPhone app can be found, and provides an experience unique to that of the iPhone app. William Hill users can also wager on horse racing via the app. |
 | Ladbrokes' Apple Watch app focuses on being timely, which makes sense given the on-demand nature of sports betting, especially when it is being done from someone's wrist. They offer a list of upcoming sporting events for both racing and other sports, and have screens letting you know how long it will be until the next event you wagered on begins. In addition, notifications letting you know how your wagers graded out as they are completed makes it very easy to figure out how your bets are performing without having to dig through your bet history on the Apple Watch screen. Available in Australia only. |
 | The DraftKings Apple Watch app is very easy to use, and allows its players to keep up on contest performances in real time. With constantly updating player performance stats, DraftKings is not only able to show you how your team is doing, but is able to show players what place they are in in each of their contests, while showing them live payout projections were they to remain in that position for the remainder of the contest. Since the most fun part of any sports betting is the winning, being able to see that you are on pace to win cash as it is happening is one of the draws of daily fantasy sports apps like DraftKings and FanDuel. |
 | Unibet's Apple Watch sports betting interface is easy to use, with simple to navigate panels for each sport giving players the ability to get to where they want to with ease. But Unibet's biggest draw with this app is its ability to display live scores and statistics for matches of interest to its users. While not quite as detailed as what you would get from larger screened devices, there are some visualizations for scores and things like yellow and red cards, spicing things up on a platform that has to take extra care not to be bland given the screen size. Ladbrokes and William both support wagering from the iWatch but the Unibet app solely provides betting information. |
