Apple Watch to Come in Three Collections (UPDATED)

The iWatch has arrived...and it was not named as such. Introducing the Apple Watch, the Cupertino company's first ever smartwatch. It has a flexible rectangular screen and comes in 38mm and 42mm cases. Aside from the aluminium-clad regular Apple Watch, there will be 2 other collections: Watch Sport, which is made with stainless steel and Watch Edition, which is made with 18 karat gold. The Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition have a sapphire crystal screen while the Apple Watch Sport will have Ion-X glass protection.

All three Apple Watches will have interchangeable wrist straps: rubber sport band, stainless steel link bracelet, Milanese loop (my favorite),leather loop, modern buckle, and classic buckle. You can literally come up with hundreds of combinations to mix and match with your outfit.

Moving on to its software, the Apple Watch's screen will not be always on. It will only light up when you lift your wrist. It does all what a normal smartwatch can do like provide notifications and alert for messages, calls, emails, etc. It also has this Glances feature, which will let you swipe through pages on the touchscreen. Alternatively, you can use the digital crown as a jog dial to zoom in and out of your favorite applications. There is also the HealthKit app which tracks one's workout and fitness activities. Siri will also be present for voice dictation and turn-by-turn navigation. You can also use the Apple Watch as a walkie talkie, remote camera for the iPhone, remote control for iTunes and Apple TV, and for sending emoji and quick sketches. Apple Pay will also be made available on the smartwatch. Everything will be powered by Apple's powerful S1 chipset exclusively created for the Apple Watch. Battery life is pegged at 18 hours with typical usage.

Like most smartwatches available on the market, the Apple Watch also have a heart rate sensor. For charging, it will have to rely on Apple's patented Magsafe wireless adapter. But the most pressing question is how long its battery will last. There was no word on that. There is also an SDK called WatchKit available for developers to help them in creating new apps for the smartwatch. The Apple Watch will cost $349 for the base model and the most expensive one is insanely priced at $17,000. The Apple smartwatch will be available APRIL 24, 2015. It will only be compatible to iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus.
