Apple Watch

Apple's "most personal product yet," the Apple Watch, may have only been publicly available for just shy of two weeks, but it has already been named the top rated smartwatch available on the market by one highly-rated, non-profit consumer organization.

Apple has today announced its ‘Made for Apple Watch’ program, giving third-parties the thumbs up to make and sell bands for the new wearable.

Here's how you can use any standard third-party band with Apple Watch in a few easy steps. More details and video can be found here.

Remember when we told you about Reserve Strap, the interchangeable charging band for the Apple Watch? Well it seems that there will be a little more to the product than we first envisaged, thanks to the manufacturer's admittance that it plans to utilize the Apple Watch's hidden diagnostic port to not only offer a beautiful band that can charge the device, but also offer faster than advertised charging, which is clearly something that will be of great appeal to consumers.

Like most consumer products, the recently released Apple Watch will only be deemed useful and extremely functional on an individual basis if each user chooses to adopt all of the powerful functionality contained within. There's no denying that Apple's most "personal product yet" ships with an advanced feature set that goes beyond what is already on the market, but it's also accepted that a lot of those features may be considered to be nothing more than a marketing gimmick, such as the ability to share a heartbeat with another Apple Watch user. With that said, one proud set of parents have utilized that very same ability in a truly emotive manner that once agains shows how Apple products can invoke a connection that transcends being purely electronic.

If you're in the market for an Apple Watch, and have your eyes set on the trendy Sport model, then there's something you might want to know. It seems that not all colored bands are created equally for Apple's entry level wearable.
