ETA first arrived on the Apple Watch back in June 2015, just two months after the Apple Watch itself hit the shelves. At the time ETA was a revolution, providing users travel time to their favourite places right on their wrist. Over the last six years, ETA has cemented itself as a must have app for the Apple Watch and has been heralded by the press, featured by the App Store and loved by users all around the globe.
This week we pushed ETA to new heights, launching a completely new app for Apple Watch. It's the most comprehensive update we've ever shipped, providing users a fully featured and uncompromised app experience on Apple's most personal device. Best of all it's a free update for all existing ETA users.

Advanced options allow users to customise the information displayed on the screen and smart ordering can rearrange locations based on travel time.
