Apple Watch, the wearable we've been waiting for
Finally, after so much speculation, Apple has surprised us with one of the biggest announcements everyone was waiting for, after doing a great job protecting itself from information leaks regarding its wearable initially known as the iWatch, but which has finally been revealed today as the Apple Watch.
After its launch from the Flint auditorium in California , the Apple Watch is one of the devices that will enter the market next year, but we already have all the details to avoid any surprises.
Considering the design we often expect to see in Apple's wearable, the predictions were almost accurate, especially regarding the pin located on the side of the watch, a classic feature found on almost all wristwatches on the market. Many wondered why, being such an advanced technological device, this spiral is included?
The drawback of such a small, touch-sensitive device is that, due to the size of our fingers, we would have problems selecting a function or using it, so the easiest way that Cupertino has considered is by using this crown.
The Collections
The Apple Watch has arrived with a variety of wearable collections to captivate users, and considering the images of what was expected , the well-known iWatch has already achieved this.
The Basic Watch
This is the basic concept and style of the wearable which comes with an anti-scratch component and a stainless steel case with a sapphire-covered screen for added protection.
The Watch Sport
With a style for those who like adrenaline but with a touch of elegance in their clothes, the Watch with a sporty design comes in 10 different models for all genders and tastes.
The Watch Edition
Aimed at the most demanding, business and technology professionals, the wearable is the least economical of the Apple watch line that have come onto the market today.
This model has been developed to be twice as durable as gold, and its screen is also covered with sapphire. The Apple Edition will be available in two different colors: yellow and rose gold.
The bands or straps
Contrary to what we thought about Apple's wearable , which led us to believe that the bands might be made entirely of leather, the company is offering a wide variety of options based on different materials and colors.
The bands for the sports edition ( Watch Sport ) come in white, black, blue, green and pink, for example.
Sizes
While it is true that forecasts assured a wearable of different sizes , considering that the company will enter more into the fashion industry, the Watch has only arrived in two different sizes, namely a 38mm version and the larger 42mm version , where the smaller size will attract the female audience.
The faces
Apple has integrated a total of 11 " faces " into its wearables, which basically means changing the front look on the watch screen, according to our taste.
Health above all
Much has been said about the arrival of the wearable and its benefit to users by being able to monitor their health in many aspects, but the truth is that this feature was not a big surprise since it was known before its arrival , especially with the meetings of Apple and hospitals as well as medical clinics.
The remarkable sensors on the back of the Watch, in combination with the GPS, accelerometer, and WiFi in your iPhone, will be able to measure your physical movements more accurately.
Payments using Apple Watch
As we mentioned earlier in our summary of the iPhone 6 and 6+ officially shown today, these phones will use the new system called Apple Pay, which users will be able to use to make quick payments at the company's partner stores.
As we expected, Apple Pay is also available on the Apple Watch, allowing you to use the device to make payments. That would save us time before we even have to take our iPhone out of our pocket, wouldn't it?
Compatibility
A good decision the company has made is to make the Watch compatible with iPhone 5 models and later, so from a financial point of view it is a good strategy to motivate users to buy the Apple Watch , even if they don't currently have a device like the iPhone 6.
And the apps?
If you thought the Watch was just for showing off as the impressive device it is, the idea is also to use it for sports, and for that purpose, there's also a fitness-oriented edition. Furthermore, thanks to native apps like the Fitness App and Workout App, you can achieve the body you want and, above all, a healthy lifestyle by taking into account the data collected by its sensors.
For just €349 you can get the Apple Watch next year, although many questions remain that will surely be revealed along the way, such as its RAM capacity, battery information, or details about the integrated headphones.
What do you think of the company's highly anticipated Watch?
