Is it an iWatch, or Smart Watch or Apple Watch
Rumours are over , predictions are over. Apple last night released an iwatch which many have been expecting and called it Apple Watch.
Many had predicted the smartwatch would be released in September or early 2015 to make it a big seller by the time Christmas rolls around. Timothy Arcuri, an analyst at Cowen & Co, said, He continued, “We continue to feel this product will differentiate itself with existing wearable products primarily from a health perspective with a number of key innovations including noninvasive blood cell count and blood pressure and other more pedestrian features like heart rate.
“The most recent rumours say Apple is reportedly discussing charging $400 for the iWatch,” reportsMac World, “which could translate to around £247 (ex VAT) – this could amount to around £320 after VAT and other costs. That’s according to Re/code, which claims to have spoken to sourced who believe the $400 entry price could be topped by more expensive luxury iWatches.”
The iWatch is official but it’s not called the iWatch – it’s called Apple Watch and, like the demon in The Exorcist, it is legion (i.e. there’s quite a few of them). Tim Cook says the Apple Watch is all about health & fitness tracking and represents a HUGE step forward for Apple as a company.
Interestingly, the Apple Watch is the first Apple product exclusively guided from drawing board to retail by Cook himself (Jobs had no role in it, apparently).
What does Apple Watch do?
Apple’s first wearable gadget beams messages, Facebook updates simplified apps and Siri to our wrists, eliminating the all-too-common need to take out our devices to constantly check notifications.
It’s going to become especially convenient to pocket the all-but-confirmed 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and even bigger 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus in your jeans, or to always stow the new 9.7-inch iPad Air 2 in a bag.
Other apps seen in the Apple Watch video include iMessages, Health, Calendar, Weather, Mail, Photos, Camera’s shutter button, Passbook that now include Apple Pay and even Apple Maps for navigation. Others what it can do is to help people travelling doing Uganda safaris will be getting updates easily. Even people doing uganda tours will enjoy this gadget .
The smartwatch also takes cues from the Nike FuelBand SE and other fitness tracker with health sensors and apps, a must for any serious wearable gadget these days.
Sure there are fitness apps on your smartphone, but you’re not always carrying your iPhone while tracking your steps and activity. The Apple Watch is better suited for your everyday workout
