Apple unveiled its much awaited smartwatch; the Apple Watch which was rumored to be called the iWatch. The watch has a square display, with curved edges and curved glass. The watch also has a dial, which apple calls a 'Digital Crown'.
The Apple Watch runs a custom OS which is not very intuitive and doesn't offer a very good user experience. The crown on the watch lets you zoom in and out of the OS without touching the screen. The icons are small and it is not easy to navigate through the interface.
Apple is one of the only companies that understands the fact that "one size fits all" doesn't always work, so they have two watch sizes. There is a larger size (The 42 mm model) for people who like big watches and a smaller size (the 38 mm model) aimed at women and people who don't like a big watch.
The Apple Watch has 3 variants: the standard Apple Watch, the Apple Watch Sport and the Apple Watch Edition. The sport has a rubber strap while the edition is gold plated (18-karat gold).
The straps on the apple watch is another area where Apple has done better than the rest. The straps are interchangeable with a seamless system . It can be seen that Apple wants the watch to to be a fashion statement and swapping out straps lets people customize their watch to fit their personality.
The battery life on the Apple watch was any area where people thought Apple would do wonders but like every other smatwatch (except the pebble) the battery life is not good. It should last people a full day of use but it is not the 5 day battery life that was rumored.
The Apple Watch is slated to be on your wrists by early 2015 at a starting price of $349.
