WSJ unveils Apple Watch application

The Wall Street Journal introduced Friday an application for the Apple Watch.

Features include stock price updates integrated into accompanying headlines. It is designed to work in tandem with the Journal’s universal app for iPhone and iPad, making it easy for Apple Watch users to read a full article on a mobile device immediately or to save for later.

“Apple Watch creates an entirely new reading experience, and we are pleased to launch an app that meets the ever-evolving needs of our subscribers,” said Journal editor Gerard Baker in a statement.

“The WSJ App for Apple Watch is right at the nexus of news, markets data and the latest mobile technology,” said Dow Jones chief information officer Edward Roussel in a statement. “Our goal is to dominate the financial news and data niche on Apple Watch. This is a great start, and we intend to go a lot further.”
