The Apple Watch is just 24 hours old now, but if you find yourself having not already spent too much money this week, you can now walk into at least one Apple Store and buy yourself a new charging cable.
Here's how to turn Apple Watch Sport into gold Edition model without spending thousands of dollars. More details and video can be found here.
A video that has just surfaced online is sparking some serious speculations that the Apple Watch is likely to support wireless charging through Qi-compatible power mats. The video apparently shows a Moto 360 smartwatch being charged by the Apple Watch charger, which has led many to believe that power mats may actually just work out for the Apple wearable.
Despite countless reports and Apple having allowed interested parties to check the Apple Watch out firsthand, we knew that some hidden treasures would not be unveiled until after the launch. As well as the numerous stress tests that have begun popping up, we've also been treated to a few teardown demonstrations, which offer a close-up glimpse at the device's innards, and while most of the internal components are arranged as would perhaps be expected, an interesting oxygen-measuring sensor has also reared its head.
It was inevitable that Apple would roll out a few new advertisements this week with its new smartwatch on the horizon, and to coincide with the Apple Watch's launch across nine nations today, a total of three short ads have been released. Aside from each ending with the slogan: "The Watch is here," they all attempt to show the various uses of the device that skeptics are labeling a fad, although unfortunately, anybody unsure as to why they'd need to buy an Apple Watch will probably be no better off after viewing the one-minute shorts.

The successful roll-out of the Apple Watch doesn't simply rest on the devices shipping out to those who pre-ordered it back on April 10th - there are several components to this major new product hitting the ground running. The Apple Watch App Store, complete with a reported 3,000+ apps, has just been launched, and now, the Apple Watch User Guide has also been published online on the Cupertino's very own website, while also being available to download from iBooks.
Amazon has just updated its iOS app which now adds support for the Apple Watch. This new update gives users the ability to search, buy or save products to their wish list right from Cupertino's new wearable.
It's almost Apple Watch time and a number of our favorite apps have been updated to support the impending wearable. Philips Hue, a smart, energy-efficient lighting system that can be controlled directly from iOS, has just brought Apple Watch into the equation with its latest update, letting you easily adjust or turn out the lights without even needing to pick up your iPhone or iPad.
The Apple Watch is an attractive product, there's no denying it, and while its charming aesthetic has generated a fair amount of hype, it's the substance - internal hardware, functionality and apps - that will determine how long this thing manages to stick around. As has been rumored throughout the blogosphere today, the Apple Watch App Store has been officially rolled out by Apple, and if you're hoping / expecting the device to arrive on your doorstep over the next few hours, then you can catch a preview of the app hub below.
