The Iwatch (You Mean Apple Watch) Has Hit the Scene

After months of speculation Apple Inc. has finally unsealed their lips about their first attempt at a smart watch.  It seems that Apple has gone in a different direction calling this new device the Apple Watch as opposed to the Iwatch.

So you may be wondering “what makes this watch so desirable?” Well many things to be honest.  The one that has most people talking is the crazy amount of looks the Apple watch has.  You can choose between 36 different combinations.  There are three main types though, the first is the Apple watch which comes in polished or space black stainless steel, then there is Apple watch sport which comes in space gray or silver anodized aluminum.  For those who don’t mind spending a pretty penny there is the Apple watch edition which comes decked out in 18-karat rose or yellow gold. 

Besides the material the Apple watch also comes in two sizes, the smaller of the two sizes is 38mm and the larger is 42 mm.  If you were worried of a broken screen no need to worry.  Where most smart watches and smart phones screens sport the tough material known as gorilla glass, Apple watches screen is made of the second hardest material in the world, Sapphire glass. 

The face of the watch has a retina touch screen display.  It can detect the difference between a tap and if your holding down on the screen, this will definitely be opening up many new exciting applications for developers. 

When it comes to wifi, the Apple Watch has wireless charging capabilities.  It is also sporting WI-FI 802.11B/G, and Bluetooth capabilities.  As you can imagine this phone comes fully equipped with GPS. 

You can expect pretty much the same functions as that of a smart phone, especially an Iphone.  The Apple watch has been made so that is completely compatible with your Iphone as long as your Iphone is an Iphone 5, Iphone 5c, Iphone 5s, Iphone 6 or Iphone 6 Plus.  One of the features that the Apple watch is showing off is Apple Pay. 

Apple pay is the ability to purchase goods with the swipe of a device like an Iphone or Apple watch.  Rumor has it that tens of thousands of retailers in the United States will be accepting this form of payment.  Big time companies like Whole Foods market and Macys are already on board. 

The watch which claims will second as a heart rate sensor said to hit the market in early 2015 with a price tag of $350 dollars, not bad when you consider you will have the functions of a full blown smart phone on your wrist.  And for those people who can’t live without their loveable SIRI, no worries your virtual personal assistant will now be at your beck and call on your wrist. 

These devices have great capabilities, one of the major functions a smart phone gives you is the ability to run your smart home from your wrist.  Lighting, music, thermostats, garage doors and even security systems can be activated and managed from your wrist.
