Its been long coming for us to write about this and we have been biding our time (...actually we've been super busy and all) for now when we can break down what you need to know about this new alluring device and our thoughts on it.
The Apple Watch (...we would like iWatch) is just around the corner to be launched and if you have not seen a picture of it till now, don't worry (...some people just don't know when to stop posting about grandfathers and luck) better late than never.
Quickly here are what you should know about the Apple Watch;
- there are two sizes with screen differences of 38mm and 42mm (...one is slightly smaller, which is cool for those not into big screen watches).
- there is an aluminium build body type, stainless steel and a pure 18k gold type (...pocket size for everyone we guess, we want black gold too).
- the straps are interchangeable, with an array of options to customize to your taste (...there's metal, leather, rubber etc).
- the back of the watch is ceramic (...don't worry it wont itch, really smooth ceramic it is) and the screen is sapphire glass (...tough scratch resistant glass LIKE Gorilla glass but not it).
- the screen will come on when you bring up your hand (...wrist) so it doesn't always stay on (...we saw somewhere that the most time you can interact with the screen is 6sec, hopefully not).
- the touch screen allows you swipe through different panes and it is also pressure sensitive (...means some apps on it will require you to press or just touch the screen as need be).
- the Apple Watch has a rotating knob for scrolling and other functions like zooming in and out.
- it is equipped with Siri (...virtual assistant on your iPhones and iPads) for easy info access.
- the device has a heart rate monitor at the back to help keep track of your health.
- your notifications from paired devices (...Apple only) are fed directly to its screen with options to reply directly (...not all apps might allow that) so your device stays where it is and the watch acts as a second screen.
- Apple Pay works directly on it, so should you make use of Apple Pay on your other Apple devices (iPhone 6 only we think) you can use the Apple Watch to make your purchases too.
- the devices will not work on iPhone 4s and below so if you fall under those, don't bother (...or just upgrade).
- the Apple Watch charges through a wireless charger, battery capacity is unknown yet (...to us) but we heard it will last a couple of days on a single charge.
There, everything we all need to know about the Apple Watch in simple less nerdy detail (...the processor, RAM, internal memory and battery are still relatively sketchy). While you're still wrapping your heads around the details, here is what we think.
Our thought:
The Apple Watch looks brilliant and elegant, design has always been impressive with Apple products (...we don't really like the iPhone 6 design though irrespective). the option of body types and screen size gives users quite some options that other Apple products generally don't allow and the interchangeable wristbands can really help in personalizing the devices on a daily bases or as needed.
No doubt, the hardware is going to be adequate, hints on how the Apple Watch operates tells us that battery life also will be adequate (...you most likely wont be doing so much on it frequently like a phone or pad) so not much complains there.
well done Apple, this is quite a remarkable device.
Should you be getting one? well...uhhh...what are your needs first, is the question you gotta ask yourself. The basics of the Apple Watch is to view your notifications from your device, monitor your health (...like you really do that or will do that), purchase stuff through your online account on it (...depends on region this will be useful) and umm GPS navigation...basically that's all. So if you see yourself making use of these features very often, then by all means you should consider getting the Apple Watch.
Like always, it is advised to check the competition out there and select the best option to your needs. we have the affordable Pebble SmartWatch (...and the newer 2nd version coming out pretty soon) that syncs with both iOS and Android devices, the array of Android Wear devices (...Moto 360, Samsung Gear S, LG G Watch R etc) and also newly introduced Microsoft Band (...affordable and very resourceful). In the end it all comes down to you the buyer and us your consultant (...fees WILL apply).
