Wearables

Plenty of people who were unable to get to the Apple Store website quick enough on Apple Watch pre-order day have found that their orders have an expected dispatch time of somewhere around June, which is quite frankly, ridiculous. We knew that Apple’s first wearable is proving popular, but that’s just madness.

The Apple Watch is decent enough on the battery front, but there will always be an accessory or two that will attempt to enhance it even further. Enter - wipowerband, the Apple Watch case that comes with a built-in battery that straps around your watch, nearly doubling the device's retention on the energy front.

If you were a little late to the Apple Watch pre-order party then you are likely to have joined the back of a lengthy queue. Not long after pre-orders started, shipping times soon stretched into June.

As we get closer to the Apple Watch going on sale and people start to spend time with one either in-store or during a review, we are finding out more and more about the device that we didn't already know. We already found out that despite Apple saying the Sport model came with two bands, it actually comes with three parts that make up two different sizes of the same strap, for example.

Today is the day when Apple’s “most personal product” became available for the public to pre-order. As usual, lucky consumers in Australia get ahead of the curve thanks to their privileged timezone, and it appears they didn’t disappoint Apple, with reports suggesting that they flocked in droves to various retail outlets around the country to benefit from the world’s first hands-on experience with the Cupertino company’s new product line. The Apple Watch itself was available for pre-order online, and could be touched and tried on in-store with what Apple is calling 'try-on appointment', but couldn’t be taken away as this informative personal video that was originally streamed via the Periscope app shows.
