Smart Apple Watch, called Watch the apple is an extension Lay your iPhone, allowing you to get up to the minute notifications, news, trends, and even a map on your wrist. Here's our review of Apple Watch.
Update June 2016: At the WWDC, Apple unveiled watchOS 3, which is scheduled to make a wearable "feel like a new watch." Whether watchOS the timing of the launch of three in the fall to coincide with the launch of Apple Watch Company 2 is debatable, but watchOS 3 owners should watch list gets excited and make the device better buy.

Apple WATCH review : DESIGN
Apple has always paid special attention to the design of its products, and has built a reputation as a brand modern and stylish. When it comes to smartwatches, and the design is more important than ever. It's viable technology for wear, after all.
Although it is not circular, Watch Apple are fun to look at. With 38 different styles to choose from there's bound to be something that suits you. There are three different models of Apple Watch. The first is Apple's Sport Watch, which comes at the bottom of the price range starts at £ 259. The following is the Apple Watch, which is the medium between the hours of clever term starting from £ 479. Finally, the Apple Watch Edition for those with cash to splash, ranging from hefty £ 8000.
As the name suggests, it was Apple's design watch sports with exercise in mind, made of glass enhance Aaon- X for maximum durability and oxidized aluminum to reduce weight. It is worth mentioning that the screen and watch sports is not immune to scratches - it's tough, but we managed to scratch us by scuffing accidentally on the wall.
It is available in gray space, silver, gold and rose gold. You get a choice of colors: black, white, yellow, red, apricot, royal blue, antique white, midnight blue, lavender and stone in the standard rubber band sport. The new band nylon woven available in gold / red, gold / royal blue, royal blue, pink, pearl, blue and black diving, and the prices are the same: £ 259 for the 38 MM Watch and £ 299 for the 42 MM.

It is worth mentioning that the sports teams get grubby fast but also very easy to clean.Watch Apple (distinct model that is different from Apple Watch Company Sports) contains a sapphire glass screen instead of Aaon- X used in the sport, and the case of stainless steel instead of aluminum, and comes in silver or black space. There are a lot of options belt buckle classic leather loop to clip the most expensive modern, ring Milanese and link bracelet.

And if you wonder why Apple Watch Edition is very expensive, which will be due to the case of 18-karat gold available in yellow gold or pink. You even get a fancy leather box that doubles as a charging base. The teams include edition White Sport Watch Band, black sport band, Black Classic Buckle, midnight blue classic Buckley, modern gray Rose Buckley, Bright Red modern Buckle.
Phew. There are also many options. And even more confusing is that some of the tapes can not be purchased with certain sizes of Apple Watch. For example, modern Buckle is not available for the largest model, leather loop is not available for a smaller model.Review Apple Watch
You can swap tapes in seconds, Apple sells tapes Watch separately at the Apple store and will supplement makers a third party of their own selling well.
All three models come in different size options. The first of the wrists more delicious design, high 38MM. Option biggest contains high 42MM screen. You will notice quite a big difference between these two sizes, so we strongly recommend that appeared in the Apple store before you buy to try all sizes and see which suits you best.
We were surprised by how small the look 38MM model, and a lot of people commented that it is smaller than imagined. Some people will think it's a good thing, but that does not make it complicated bit for use as text, icons and applications are very small. Does that mean it's really light on the wrist, though, so you will notice that there is barely even want to.
Watch Apple is resistant to standard IPX7, which means technically that the device should not be damaged if he sat in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes for the water, but Apple does not recommend trying it. Instead, Apple Watch describes as "splash- and water-resistant, but not waterproof," and indicates that it can wear it in the shower, but I do not consider swimming.
We believe that Apple Watch is an amazing device, but we feel a little bit disappointed that it was not a pie. We love smartwatches round of the likes of LG, Motorola, Huawei, because they fit into an ordinary watch better. Watch Apple quite clear piece of technology stuck on your wrist, and it will not appeal to everyone (after, but this is Apple we're talking about so we'll probably be all wearing in a few years be, and would not think anything of it).We do like the fact that there are many different options, even if it does not get a bit confusing. Knowing that there are a lot of different options makes the choice you make more personal.
Apple WATCH review : Specifications
Apple Watch display has a resolution of 272x340 or 312x390 depending on whether you choose to 38MM or 42MM Size option. Screen quality is excellent, even in the medium brightness, easy to read outdoors.
It is powered by Apple's Apple Watch S1 processor, and we have found that it can be a little slow on occasions, especially during the use of third-party applications. It is one of the main reasons we are keen to see whether the supposed Apple Watch 2 solves performance issues.
Apple claims the battery will last for 18 hours of normal use. What this translates to is basically 1.5 days between charges, but you'll eventually appeared on the wireless charger every night. This also means that it does not keep track of your sleep, like most fitness trackers.

Apple WATCH Review : WATCHOS
You're going to need to iPhone 5 or later in order to use Watch Apple, and you have a dedicated Apple Watch application included in iOS use 8 or later.
June 2016: watchOS 3 Reload this shows that Apple is certainly not giving up smartwatches. The main update solves quite a few problems and shortcomings, though, that we should wait until we used the update before we can confirm this.
watchOS 3
The following is a summary of updates in watchOS 3:
Side button now brings up a new pier (top left). This contains the favorite applications for quick access.
Applications that can run in the background now (including training), and thus immediately release. They can also be updated in the background.
Apple's payment can be used in applications Watch to pay for things like taxi Uber.
Watch a group of new faces, some of them take advantage of the workshops activity (top right).
The ability to share episodes of activity and compete with friends.
New Beathe application (above center) for "help you stay more healthy."
More expressive messages.
Such as the Palm Pilot with ancient writing on the walls, and you can draw letters on top of each other to form replies and messages.
Review Apple Watch
Watch Apple's own software manages Apple, watch the operating system, with some familiar elements taken from iOS, as well as many new ones. Interaction with the Watch Apple experience all new, with a touch of the new force that will help determine when you're eavesdropping and compression technology, called digital Crown physical button that can be pressed and scrolling, and the second button that takes you to a screen friends, as well as voice control using Siri.
Siri can be used to search, set reminders, dictate messages, get directions and more. It's as easy as raising your wrist and saying "Hey Siri" followed by your command.
There are also observations Taptic, which uses vibrations that will benefit you on the wrist alerts and guidance and more. You can even send others your heart beats and they will feel they are eavesdropping on the wrist (romantic disgusting, is not it?).
With all of these interact with the Apple Watch ways, it will certainly take a bit of getting used to. You will need to spend some time to learn about the Apple Watch to see if you need to take advantage, scrolling, criticize or pay or talk to get the job done. You'll find a lot of lessons Apple Watch Site sister Apple Watch Mac, Nike and department.
Apple WATCH Review : Notifications
If you're the type who likes to constantly check iPhone for notifications, and then watch Apple can be a time-saver, as you simply need to take a look at your wrist. But equally, if you prefer a little bit from time to time for peace and quiet away from the digital world is full of Facebook, Twitter and e-mail, and getting tapped on the wrist every time you notice the arrival may not be a good idea, so we'd suggest this Watch Apple (or any hour smart, for that matter), it will not be for you.
Apple WATCH Review : APPS
They include apples Watch Apple applications messages, mail, weather, maps, calendar, book, music, photos and more. Apple does not intend for you to use Watch apples to browse the Internet, though Safari is absent.
Maps of the more useful than Apple's applications, thus directions turn by turn to your wrist. It's more convenient than going out your iPhone and using the reactions Taptic to tell you whether to turn left or right, you will not need to look at the screen much anywhere near that, and can focus more on what is going on around you.Review Apple Watch
You can use the Watch Apple to respond to make phone calls thanks to the microphone and speaker built-in, but we doubt you'll want to, especially if you are outside or in a place where everyone will be able to hear both sides of the conversation. If you're a quiet somewhere may find it works well, but the quality is not great at all.
There is also the ability to respond to text messages using smart or dictation replies, which we have found works well, but again, unless you are in a quiet place and only if you speak very clearly.
Third-party developers have been busy creating Watch Apple applications, and includes profiles and 10 - the idea of 15 seconds in the design. The applications range of applications hotel that lets you use Apple Watch as applications that help you to find your car in the parking key. There are even games designed for the watch Apple, even though we are not the image that you will spend a lot of time using our Apple Watch for the Games. Facebook, Twitter, Shazam, CityMapper, TripAdvisor and more and confirmed that they are creating profiles for the watch Apple.
It's this third-party applications that will make the difference between whether it is worth buying or not, and they will vary among each individual. Before you decide your investment £ 299 or more in the Watch Apple, it is important to think about what you're planning to use it for. Do you want to use him to control the various Internet-connected devices throughout the house, for example? If the answer is yes, you will need to check whether there is any application that is available to let you do that to see whether Watch Apple is worth buying for you.
But as I mentioned in the section of specifications, most third-party applications and found it to be annoyingly slow and often buggy. We are sure it will improve with the passage of time, but at the moment it can be very frustrating. So much for that 10-15 seconds at a time thing, and Apple.
Now, we do not think that there is a killer app on the Apple Watch that will make us feel like it's worth £ 299 or more it costs. We believe that this application accesses at the end of the day, but now we are still waiting.
It is loaded applications by installing them first on your iPhone and sync with your Apple Watch. Applications can be organized on the main screen using the Apple Watch Apple Watch application on your iPhone as well.
Apple WATCH Review : convenience tracking
Apple has also come up with new specific applications apples and watch to keep track of fitness, which is what we've come to expect from smartwatches what with the rise in fitness activity tracking wrist bands such as Fitbit and Jawbone.
The first of Apple's applications is another, which features three episodes this step represents, stand up and exercise. Step shows you how many calories you have burned. Stand measures how often you get up from your bottom, and you will be asked to do so it must remain seated for hours without getting up. The practice of measuring activities which it considers to be daunting as or more strenuous than a brisk walk. When the rings are full in another application, you have met your target (which you can with a combination of factors including calories, time or distance. Apple will use your sex, age, weight, height and level of public activity to provide objective recommendations, but you can modify as you wish ) and you'll earn achievement.
Application workout takes things a little further, and keep track of your workouts, whether you're running, walking, cycling and more. It will measure how far you traveled, how fast they moved and how long they have been working out for. The iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus owners, as it will measure the rise thanks to the built-in scale in the latest smartphones to Apple. It will keep all this information in a companion application on your iPhone so you can keep track of your progress over weeks and months.
And the watch Apple monitor heart rate throughout the day, even if you do not ask him which it does for, to help estimate the number of calories you have burned and when you've done what it considers "would suggest," but we're not convinced that it's completely accurate. We will carry out further tests to monitor heart rate soon and will update this review once we show how accurate (or inaccurate as the case may be) Watch Apple.

In addition, Apple Watch featuring NFC chip that will allow you to use with Apple's wages, and the system of mobile payment secure Apple. Unfortunately, in spite of Apple's wages still have not made their way to the United Kingdom so we may have to wait some time until we can use this function here.
When it does arrive, although we imagine they'll be handy brilliantly we do not have to dig around in a bag or pocket to get out of our purse or wallet out in the shop. You have to be able to touch your wrist to reader support Apple's payment to pay in seconds.

Our verdict
We can not help but think that Apple has tried to do too much with this first generation of Apple Watch. There are lots of ways to interact with them and a lot of different features and elements to get used to the sudden steep learning curve. It takes a lot of getting used to, and sometimes it feels counter-intuitive, something we're not used to with Apple computers.
This is why we struggle to spend £ 299 or more it will cost you to buy this smart-hour recommended. As is the case often, waiting for the second generation of Apple Watch is likely to be a wise move, because Apple will learn a lot from this first generation smart hour and customers and fans that are used.
