Ahead of the Apple Watch’s release tomorrow, Apple has started rolling out a special section of the App Store for the device.

By viewing the App Store window of the dedicated Apple Watch app for iPhone, users will be able to browse the thousands of apps that are already available on the wrist. Big names like Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, ESPN and Instagram have Watch apps in the store along with countless indie titles.

Apple is curating Watch apps into categories like it does for normal iOS apps in the store, including a helpful “Get Started” list.

Installing Watch apps will be a relatively painless process, as any installed iPhone app with a WatchKit extension will automatically make itself available on the Watch. Users will be able to modify which Watch apps they want displayed on their wrist from within the Apple Watch iPhone app.
