It's a lovely thing to wear

The Apple Watch feels exactly like you'd expect it to
A first attempt. Apple's fused its own design ethos with the limited technology around at the moment to make a compelling smartwatch – but it's still a smartwatch
A device that doesn't really have an
The battery has easily been good enough in my 42mm (which has a slightly bigger battery than 38mm models) to last a long day without having to step down into the ‘it only functions as a watch' Power Reserve mode
But it's still a pain to take it off night
No universal search
Expensive at any level
