  • 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

  • At the beginning of this review, I said that I haven't worn watches in any consistent fashion for my entire life. In a lot of ways, this will be an accurate characterization for many people. With the rise of the cellphone and its network-synchronized time...

  • Abstract:  I knew I wanted an Apple Watch since I first saw it announced it last September.My son has told the story already, but when he called to let me know he was flying home from the event, I told him I was replaying the Apple Watch video again. Seeing it demon...

  • The bands themselves are very sturdy, especially the mesh to the point you know they are secure on the wrist
  • Possibly an option online for either black or chrome loops for the Nylon & leather bands for all bands

  • Abstract:  Oh, quite a journey we have had so far in just a few short months. Even though the Apple Watch was released on April 24th, the device was first announced practically a year earlier, and rumors had been swirling forever that Apple was entering the wearable...

  • Sleek design, High build quality, Size and weight feels like a traditional watch when worn, Battery life lasts at least a day through standard use, Integrated sensors are great for fitness tracking, 280 PPI display is vivid and sharp, Notifications are co
  • Higher priced versions only differ in build materials, Screen is reflective and shows fingerprints easily, Third party apps are slow and buggy, Integrated speaker for phone calls is rather weak, Customization of watch face is limited in current firmware
  • Apple's first endeavor in the wearable market was much like their original iPhone, not the smoothest though full of potential. The device is meant to be a companion to your smartphone (not a replacement) and with this I think Apple has executed well on th...

  • An excellent firstgen device, Trademark Apple classleading design, fit and finish, Watch OS is advanced, intuitive, Groundbreaking technologies, Plenty of personalisation options
  • Display not alwayson, Not fully water resistant, Battery life good, not great
  • The Apple Watch is an excellent device for a first-generation model and is far better than we have seen from its competition compared to their first-up efforts (and in some cases their second, third and fourth efforts!). As is often the case, Apple is lea...

  • Beautiful design, Two day battery life, Fast charging, Great screen
  • WatchOS is awkward, Unresponsive apps, Expensive
  • So should you buy an Apple Watch? Maybe. If you're after a smartwatch and use an iPhone, your options are this or the new Pebble Time or Time Steel, both of which are more affordable, but don't offer as finely tailored an experience as the Apple Watch.It'...

  • Abstract:  Every once in a while, there comes a bit of tech that lets you do what you're already doing, but in simpler and more effective ways. After using the Apple Watch for a month, I've decided that the watch is that kind of product. If you're already in the App...

  • Abstract:  …we're still trying to figure out how to use it well.The same is true when iPhone first came out. Steve Jobs called it an iPod, a phone, and an internet communication device. It's funny in retrospect, because even though I regularly use the music, phone...

  • Abstract:  Fantastical by Flexibits is the calendar app I use on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.I'm typically a default app kind of person, but Fantastical makes entering and finding appointments so much faster and better than the default calendar app, it overcame my usual b...
