linda.com hi I'm Steve Smith with cter
0:10
maac.com the long awaited eyewatch has
0:12
finally been unveiled but first off it's
0:15
not actually called the eyew watch in a
0:17
rather surprising move it's been called
0:19
the Apple watch and let me start off by
0:21
saying it looks incredible as you can
0:23
see here it's not just one design fits
0:25
all there's a watch to suits every style
0:28
to start with there's three divisions
0:31
the Apple watch the Apple watch Sport
0:34
and the Apple watch Edition the watch
0:36
also comes in two different display
0:37
sizes a 38 mm and a 42 depending on the
0:41
size of your wrist or basically a his
0:43
and hers the Apple watch is your entry
0:45
model which works with the iPhone 5 5c
0:48
5S along with the new iPhone 6 and 6
0:51
plus you can either get it in a polished
0:53
or space black variety and comes with a
0:56
choice of six different watch bands
0:58
which are easily interchanged using mag
0:59
magets all of which serve a different
1:02
purpose and style the Apple watch sport
1:04
features a silicon band which is durable
1:06
enough to take your sweat soap to
1:07
workouts followed by a more traditional
1:09
but still really cool aluminium or
1:12
aluminum watch band as well as a leather
1:14
variety which sports either a Snappy
1:16
magnet clasp or a more standard clasp
1:19
and finally the Apple watch Edition is
1:21
your premium flashy Smartwatch you can
1:23
get it in either 18 Kar gold or rose
1:25
gold but Apple's not yet spoken about
1:27
how much this will set you back so
1:29
there's going going to be a decent
1:30
premium compared to the standard Apple
1:32
watch one of the cleverest points on
1:34
Apple's new smartwatch is the digital
1:36
Crown Apple has taken the watch Crown to
1:38
a whole new level by turning a standard
1:40
watch dial to scroll zoom and even move
1:42
between apps along with being your home
1:45
button underneath that you'll find
1:47
there's a second button more flush to
1:49
the device which is used to bring up
1:50
your favorite contacts but I'm hoping in
1:53
the future with third party apps the
1:54
developers will be able to find a better
1:56
use for this button but don't worry
1:58
about the Apple watch not being touch
2:00
screen as it is to swipe gestures and
2:02
navigate through information but using
2:05
the digital Crown means that your
2:06
fingers won't be covering any of the
2:08
screen along with that there's also Siri
2:10
which you can use to dictate your texts
2:12
and also record voice messages the Apple
2:15
watch also pretty much kills any other
2:17
smart Health truet that's on the market
2:18
today as it's full of
2:21
sensors the Apple watch will be able to
2:23
monitor how many calories you've burned
2:24
your movement along with your heart rate
2:26
and many other things the watch's
2:28
gyroscope accelerometer and GPS know
2:30
your location and Bluetooth 4.0 ensures
2:33
the watch is synced to your iPhone these
2:35
sensors will also allow the device to
2:37
know when you're raising your arm to
2:38
check your watch so you don't have to
2:40
tap any buttons to check your
2:42
notifications on top of all of that the
2:44
Apple watch features a tactic engine to
2:46
provide you with haptic feedback for
2:48
when you receive texts or when you turn
2:50
left or right using the maps enabling
2:52
you to receive tons of information
2:54
without even lifting your wrist also
2:56
there's a Nifty little feature which
2:57
allows you to feel someone else's
2:59
heartbeat who's also using an Apple
3:01
Watch during the announcement Tim Cook
3:03
focused on something that's going to be
3:04
a key part to the watch's DNA health and
3:07
fitness it features two apps activity
3:10
and workout dedicated to getting you up
3:12
off of the couch on your lazy Sunday
3:14
mornings it gives you a rundown of all
3:16
of your activity for the day whereas
3:18
workout will be your own personal
3:20
trainer on your wrist setting realistic
3:22
goals to motivate you to get away from
3:24
your iMac and do some exercise whether
3:27
you're going for a casual walk or even
3:28
training for a marathon
3:30
the goals will pop up on the device as
3:32
you hit the targets similar to that of a
3:34
Nike fuel band which isn't surprising
3:37
when former Nike execs have been brought
3:38
