If Bentley’s first-ever SUV, the Bentayga, seemed slightly tardy to the luxury-SUV moneymaking bonanza, then the company’s timing appears to be improving as it releases a new Apple Watch app for the Bentayga. Sure, the Apple Watch is so 2015, but given how the first Cadillac Escalade appeared in the late 1990s?not to mention the Land Rover Range Rover having existed for decades?this counts as timely. That last word, by the way, counts as a watch pun.

We’re watching you, Bentley Bentayga.
The Bentayga’s Apple Watch app effectively pairs the watch via Bluetooth to the SUV’s infotainment system, meaning an onboard user can choose to manipulate a variety of vehicle settings through their Apple wristwear. It can’t, as do some other automotive Apple Watch apps, remote-start the car, or control anything if the user’s paired iPhone isn’t connected to the Bentley’s infotainment system. Yet, as Bentley puts it, the app affords “the luxury of control on your wrist.” (Other wrist-based control mechanisms include handcuffs, but the luxuriousness of them depends on whether they’re fur-lined.)
