Apple Watch

With Apple now offering the Apple Watch for pre-order and allowing interested parties to try the wearable out at retail stores, we're learning more and more about its functionality with every day that passes. Given the relatively small display of the Watch versus the likes of the iPhone and iPad, the software aspect is one that Apple has had to rebuild from the ground up, and while the design has been heavily lauded since we first clapped eyes on the device back in September, the UI and UX is unquestionably solid as well. Now, for the first time, we get a proper look at how multitasking will work.

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.

The latter stage of last week was dominated by the opening of Apple Watch pre-orders, and with some analysts suggesting that the wearable could well be the Next Big Thing, the number of folk who've already secured their unit seems to corroborate this notion. In the United States alone, it is estimated that Apple Watch has been pre-ordered over 950,000 times, and with a number of other nations able to preorder, it seems certain that worldwide, Apple is comfortably over the million mark.

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.
