Behold class and style! Yes, in just a couple of weeks come 2015, Apple will release the much anticipated i Watches in different gorgeous designs. The watches all Apple's new "Taptic engine" also improves the mapping experience too,
buzzing users with different vibrations when they need to turn left or
right. This feature can also be used to send fellow Apple Watch wearers a
nudge, and for notification alerts.
On the software side of things, the Apple Watch also comes with
Siri baked-in, allowing users to bark commands at their wrist. On-screen
typing will not be supported, due to the device's small screen size.
In terms of physical specifications, the Apple Watch boasts a
Retina display resolution, and also comes with a feature called "Force
Touch," which means the screen knows how hard you are pressing it. The
screen also comes with a toughened sapphire glass on top, which means it
should be difficult to break.
There's also Bluetooth 4.0 support, WiFi and Magsafe wireless
charging support included, and the two models measure in at 38mm and
42mm, respectively.
Apple's Watch, as rumours had suggested, come stuffed full of health
and fitness senors too, and is capable of measuring a users heart rate
and body movements. This all comes baked in to Apple's new Activity and
Workout apps, where users can also count calories and set personal
goals.
The Apple Watch collection features highly polished stainless steel and
space black stainless steel cases. The display is protected by
sapphire crystal. And there’s a choice of three different leather bands,
a link bracelet, a Milanese loop, and a band made from
high-performance fluoroelastomer.
We will not forget that Apple started 2014 slowly but more than made up for it in the long haul,
introducing the Apple Watch, Apple Pay, Mac OS X Yosemite, iOS 8, an
iPad Air 2 with a super-fast processor, the massively selling iPhone 6,
the iPhone 6 Plus, and a luscious iMac with a 5K Retina screen, which,
it turns out, is priced less than some 4K monitors.

Find your style in three distinctive collections
Apple Watch
Apple Watch Sport
Apple Watch Edition
Cold-forged stainless steel. Formulated for strength and beauty.
How a product is used should determine the materials from which
it’s made. Apple Watch is designed to be worn during all your daily
activities, from morning workouts to nights out. That’s why we took a
refined 316L stainless steel — an alloy that is remarkably corrosion
resistant — and cold forged it to make it 40 percent harder and less
susceptible to nicks and scratches. We also reduce impurities to achieve
the mirror finish. An additional diamond-like carbon (DLC) layer gives
the space black stainless steel its distinctive look.
Brilliantly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.
Next to diamond, sapphire is the hardest transparent material
on earth. That makes it ideal for protecting the Retina display. To
harvest the crystal, we use a very thin diamond-cutting wire. The
sapphire is then precision-machined into its final form and polished for
many hours to produce the desired finish.
Beautifully engineered bands and closures.
With designs made from fine top-grain leathers, durable
high-performance fluoroelastomer, and custom-engineered stainless steel,
the Apple Watch collection offers the widest array of band materials
and closure styles. Each one is distinctive in its own right, yet
perfectly matched to the collection.
Link Bracelet
Crafted from the same 316L stainless steel alloy as the case,
the Link Bracelet has more than 100 components. The machining process is
so precise, it takes nearly nine hours to cut the links for a single
band. In part that’s because they aren’t simply a uniform size, but
subtly increase in width as they approach the case. Once assembled, the
links are brushed by hand to ensure that the texture follows the
contours of the design. The custom butterfly closure folds neatly within
the bracelet. And several links feature a simple release button, so you
can add and remove links without any special tools. Available in
stainless steel and space black stainless steel.
Milanese Loop
A modern interpretation of a design developed in Milan at the
end of the 19th century. Woven on specialized Italian machines, the
smooth stainless steel mesh wraps fluidly around your wrist. And because
it’s fully magnetic, the Milanese Loop is infinitely adjustable,
ensuring a perfect fit.
Modern Buckle
A small French tannery established in 1803 produces the supple
Granada leather for this elegant band. The smooth top-grain leather is
lightly milled and tumbled to maintain its refined texture. What looks
like a solid buckle is actually a two-piece magnetic closure that’s
delightfully simple to secure. We also added an inner layer of Vectran
weave for strength and stretch resistance. It’s the same material NASA
used to make the landing airbags for the Mars Rover spacecraft. This
band is available in soft pink, brown, and midnight blue.
Leather Loop
The Venezia leather for this band is handcrafted in Arzignano,
Italy. With an artisan heritage spanning five generations, the tannery
has a history of partnership with some of the most prestigious names in
fashion. A delicate milling and tumbling process enhances the beautiful
pebbled texture. This traditional craftsmanship is combined with an
innovative approach to design. Magnets concealed within the soft,
quilted leather allow you to simply wrap it around your wrist for a
precise fit and a trim look. Available in stone, light brown, and
bright blue.
Classic Buckle
From the renowned ECCO tannery in the Netherlands, the Dutch
leather used for this band is milled to give the grain a subtle,
distinctive texture. The simple closure is crafted from the same
stainless steel as the case. It’s a beautiful take on a traditional band
design. Available in black.
Sport Band
Because it’s made from a custom high-performance
fluoroelastomer, the Sport Band is durable and strong, yet surprisingly
soft. The smooth, dense material drapes elegantly across your wrist and
feels comfortable next to your skin. An innovative pin-and-tuck closure
ensures a clean fit. Available in white and black.
