iOS developer Hamza Sood has posted a series of screenshots posted on his Twitter account, revealing some controls that will be accessible in the Apple Watch app. According to his tweets, the companion app will feature a dark theme with black background and white text. Here are some other interesting discoveries:

Main "My Watch" menu includes the following settings - App Layout, AirPlane Mode, Notifications, Glances, Do Not Disturb, Brightness & Text Size, Sounds & Haptics, Passcode and Health
Options for connectivity with iPhone apps like Mail, Maps, Messages, Music, Passbook, Phone, Reminders, and more.
Apple Watch offers Handoff support
Sounds & Haptics settings lets users change the strength of haptic feedback from the device
Cover to Mute option allows users to quickly silence their watch by covering the display with their hand
Syncing playlists with the Apple Watch has a default 1-gigabyte limit, but users can expand it to 2 gigabytes
Notification Privacy option conceals details of a notification until the alert has been tapped

These options seem really useful, indeed. We will definitely know more about the device once it becomes available on April 24 starting at $349. Preorders, and in-store hands-on opportunities, will begin two weeks earlier on April 10.
