At the same time, Apple introduced just three watches: Watch , Watch Sport and Watch Edition. The principal difference between the two devices is used in the production of materials: the regular version of hours will be made of stainless steel and safety glass of sapphire, as well as the back cover of the ceramics. Option for athletes receive a lightweight aluminum body and a special composite material for the back cover and the premium version of hours will get the case of 18-carat gold. Not stingy in Cupertino and straps of leather, steel and silicone, and in the future we are waiting for a few more types of materials, including fabric. Will vary and buckles on the straps from classic to magnetic. One should not forget about the possibility of wearing hours on his right hand, which is especially important for lefties: after the first run of hours the user can choose the location of the interface elements, as well as self-attach strap for more comfortable carrying. However, putting the clock on the right hand wheel for navigation will be located in the lower part of the body. How convenient is to use the clock in this case – is not yet clear.
Watches are rectangular case with hidden inside electronic “filling” and straps on a magnetic mount. Located on the side of the button for quick access to contacts, as well as the scroll wheel to navigate. Scrolling the last zoom in and out, depriving the user having to constantly manually zoomed image that such a small screen do not always comfortable. Dimensions of the latter, by the way, will also be presented in two versions: 38 and 42 mm in length (1.5 and 1.65 inches). The screen itself is touch sensitive and is able to distinguish two types of interaction: touch and depression. The difference in the strength and duration of the interaction: easy swipe to flip through screens allow the side, and a long press gives the opportunity to choose the applications and a variety of options. Case has protection against ingress of moisture, but expose your watch to this submersion is not recommended. Novelty is not afraid to expose the surface of the body to rain or water from the tap. If flip clock and look at the inner surface can be detected by a special sensor substrate 4, which are necessary for reading pulse, and the connection points for the magnetic charge.
Interestingly, in the case of a premium version of a clock Watch Edition the kit will be supplied casket with jewelry trim, which will serve both as a stand for hours and ground to charge the device. Speaking of charging, we note that in fact it is already familiar to owners of Apple devices wireless inductive charging MagSafe.
A special attention should be paid to hardware “stuffing” hours: installed a new processor inside Apple S1, which combines a variety of subsystems required for proper operation hours.
In addition, within the body lies another of technological innovation: the vibrating motor Taptic Engine, which will notify the user of incoming events. In addition, within hours of hidden accelerometer chips Bluetooth, NFC and GPS. Finally, the clock got built-in microphone and speaker. These elements of the hardware platform is needed to communicate with buddies, as well as to communicate with Siri, which will become an integral part of Apple Watch.
As a software component from Apple use a special version of the iOS operating system preinstalled GUI Apple UI. As is the case with devices on Android Wear, most of the time on the screen, the user will see the clock and the accompanying notice. It is argued that the appearance and additional widgets will be set by the user at his own request.
The home screen consists of randomly placed icons of applications that together, on the idea creators to form a flower.
With built-in sensors and sensors, as well as constant communication with the iPhone, the clock will be able to facilitate and improve many aspects of the life of its owner, especially in urban areas, when it comes to the constant movement and active lifestyle. We can say that even at the start of sales of watches acquire support for many standard applications for iOS, and eventually the number will rise even more third-party developers will be able to release their applications for the new accessory Apple.
The future owners can Watch expect at least a Gallery app, Mail, Maps, Contacts, Calendar, Music Player, as well as various applications to display weather, time and a variety of other useful information. Management of the clock will be implemented by voice using Siri. Also, a significant number of applications will be devoted to sports activities: clock get closer integration with the application for iPhone Health, which is an aggregator of all received data on the state of the human body. Will not go anywhere and the ability to quickly search your smartphone «Fing My iPhone». Already declared support for Apple Pay payment system and the ability to play music via Bluetooth.

Unfortunately, Tim Cook did not say anything about the battery life of hours, but can hardly be expect from them more than a day on a single charge of the battery. In the sale of watches arrive in early 2015, and before that, the company is likely to hold another event dedicated exclusively hours. The cost starts at $ 349 for the most basic model and can reach $ 500 for the premium version, although the price ceiling was not specifically designated.
