Apple Watch

We still don't know the exact date when Apple will bring its Apple Watch to the masses, but as its designer Jony Ive goes on tour around the globe we're starting to hear more and more information about both the design process involved in making the Apple Watch a reality and the features that it will posses.

Apple may be frantically attempting to fulfill demand for its recently announced iPhone 6 / 6 Plus, second-generation iPad Air and iMac with Retina 5K display, but it seems that the company also has one eye firmly fixed on its product roadmap for next year.

Apple's initial foray into the world of wearable technology has been speculated, analyzed and discussed consistently over the last 18 months, but only made official when Tim Cook introduced us to the Apple Watch on September 9th. After showing off the beautiful aesthetics of the various models, brushing over the important technical specifications, and showing the obligatory Apple marketing video pertaining to the watch, Cook would only say that the wrist wear would be launched sometime during "early 2015". So, no shiny new Apple Watch in time for the festive season, but if reports emerging from China are to be believed then we could be looking at a worldwide February 2015 launch for the wearable.

From what we've so far seen of Apple Watch - which, admittedly, isn't a great deal - the functionality looks fairly adept and fit for purpose, but given Jony Ive's reported utterances that Switzerland was in trouble, coupled with the reviews of several key figures in the timepiece industry, there's no doubting the fact that the Cupertino's new wearable makes a considerable fashion statement as well. Given that Paris is among the most renowned fashion-centered cities in the world, it seems as good a venue as any to play host to the showcasing of the undeniably cool gadget, and at the Colette Boutique in the French capital, Apple Watch has just gone on display.

At the big iPhone 6 event a couple of weeks ago, Apple also, as expected, took the wraps off its very first smartwatch. Named Apple Watch, the company released a series of videos outlining the various styles, fitness-related features and other perks that will come with owning its first major wearable, but given that was, and is, still nowhere near its "early 2015" release, some information was naturally kept under wraps. One such detail was that of the storage, and today, a new report apparently sheds some light on the capacity of the Apple Watch.

Apple finally came through with its inaugural smartwatch effort earlier this week, and although we were impressed by the traditional charm of devices like the Moto 360 and LG G Watch R, it's fair to say that the reaction to Apple's new line up has been positive. As fans and commentators queue up to heap praise on Apple Watch, one expert has delivered an opinion from a more authoritative angle. As much as we enjoy considering the thoughts of those with great knowledge of Apple et al, the new Watch series has seen the Cupertino giant thrust into a market dominated by Rolex, Casio and a host of others, and one source familiar with the traditional watch market has just posted his thoughts on Apple Watch.

Apple took the wraps off its smartwatch effort at its special media event alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus earlier this week. Though the list of features which Apple showcased at the keynote itself were quite expansive, but with every passing moment, we’re learning more and more about the wearable before it eventually hits the shelves some time next year.
