Apple's first smart wearable will be arriving on consumers' wrists in about a month, but the first Apple Watch-ready apps have already started arriving in Apple's App Store.

Among other apps, Twitter, Evernote, Expedia, the New York Times and Target have been updated with support for the upcoming wearable, 9to5Mac noted.

Besides Apple Watch support, these updates bring little or no new functionality. The latest version notes for the Twitter app, for example, merely says "Includes Twitter for Apple Watch."

Not many users will benefit from these early launches. The watch will be available for preview and preorder in Apple Stores on April 10 in London, Paris and Tokyo; the devices on display will likely have some of these apps installed.

The Apple Watch will officially launch in the Apple Store on April 24. It will be available in three basic variants: the regular version, Apple Watch Sport and Apple Watch Edition. Prices range from $349 for the most basic, 38mm-sized Apple Watch to $10,000-plus for a gold Apple Watch Edition.
