Apples first look into a new technology market is introduced with the Apple Watch. The wrist based tech syncs with your iPhone (5, 5c, 5s, 6 and 6+) to make receiving notifications, messages, calls, emails etc. a whole lot simpler.
The watch has been designed to have one suitable for everyone with a choice of either a small or large face, with over 15 default watch display settings with thousands more a simple download away. The watch casing also comes in a choice of stainless steel, space-black stainless steel and 18karat gold or rose gold.
Straps for the Watch come in many varieties, from a plastic-type silicone for the Watch Sport to "Milanese Loop" straps for the Watch Edition along with stainless steel link strap for the standard watch. The changeable straps use magnets to automatically clip into the watch on either side of the wrist.
It has many traditional Apple features such as Siri, Touch screen, photo viewing through the icloud and a variety of apps. The new watch also has some additional features like a heart rate monitor and a ‘tap’ function as a replacement to vibrations.
Prices for each of the specified ranges and strap varieties haven’t been specified yet, other than the range starting off at $349 (£219). However, with the huge popularity around Apple products, I have no doubt that we will see many of them being sold shortly after release in early 2015 no matter what the price.
