Apple watch will be finally released and all of those who have been waiting for it like warm bread can breath, lay back and count the days until its release. Apple smart watch design and features might create a technology hysteria.
The exterior of the smart watch is coated with sapphire, and Apple went for a geeky chic look.
The release date is set for April and rumours are saying that Apple employees are already wearing the long awaited watches.
Which one would you choose?
There will be 34 variants of watches, so everybody can be pleased.
The drive is matching Apple’s design and the watch is compatible with iPhones. The premium Apple Smart Watch design is rectangular with rounded corners, but is not a circular smart watch like its very fashionable rival, Moto 360. Like any other Apple device, behind the good looks there is a powerful system which works with iOS 8 devices that include iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.

Battery Life
Producers haven’t given many details regarding the battery life of the watch, but they hinted that the watch is designed to be worn all day and is very easy to charge during the night. In a conference which took place in October, Tim Cook, state that they believe people will enjoy the smart watch so much that they will end up having to charge it every day. Affirmation which could mean that, the battery life of the Apple smart watch should be of one day, similar to Moto 360, Samsung Gear Live and LG G.
A spokes person of the company somehow confirmed the theory that the watch requires to be charged daily but also that Apple was working on changes to give the battery more life. Other smart watches on the market like LG G Watch R, Sony SmartWatch and ASUS ZenWatch, are able to reach a battery life of a day and a half due to the software update, Android Wear.
The spread of rumours that Apple’s smart watch battery lasts only 2.5 hours have no base and are unfounded.
Previous rumours have stated that the iWatch would have a battery of 400mAh, but producers have refused to give that information away, for now. They only mentioned about the unique charging method of the watches. The back crystal of the device is based on a magnetic induced wireless charging, a method resemblant to MagSafe design.
With this, Apple might start a new trend, increasing the popularity of Qi wireless charging and leaving aside the classic one.
Price
The price will start from $349, given all the technology involved, meaning 233 pounds in the UK and AU$403 in Australia. Comparing the price to other brands, the Android Wear watches, included Samsung Gear Live, sold for $200 and LG G Watch sold for $230 when they were first launched. But Apple’s biggest competitor comes from Motorola and is called Moto 360, which sells for $249.
Given all the work that has been put into it, Apple is aiming for a luxury watch, as it has a sapphire display protection, two seizes, an impressive digital crown and also 18k gold coloured edition. For that version, prices should be much higher.
