Booking.com, one of the largest online accommodation sites announced on Monday the launch of the Booking Now app for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL)'s Apple Watch.

Booking.com has a vast selection of over 625,000 properties in more than 75,000 unique destinations and is part of the Priceline Group Inc (NASDAQ: PCLN) network of online travel agencies.
