Main characteristics
The Apple watch isn’t just smaller and wearable iPhone, but it is also a device, that can do your payments without having have to use your credit cards every time when payment needed, it can measure heart rate and it communicates with you and your iPhone. The Apple Watch is made in two sizes and three collections. Each of them has different package. The Sport comes in a long rectangular box. The Watch comes in a white square box with a white plastic rounded square container. And the Edition comes in a darker, more elaborate version of the same. Regardless of collection, all include a watch case, a paired band, a USB cable with a magnetic charger on the end, and an iPhone-style AC adapter. Apple is using three different materials for the cases: 7000-Series aluminum for the Sport, 316L stainless steel for the Watch, and 18-karat gold for the Edition. For the Edition are conducted in silver and anodized space gray, silver and diamond, and yellow and rose gold respectively. The screens are Ion-X (ion exchange) glass for the Sport and sapphire for the Watch and Edition. The backs are a composite material for the Sport with hard-coated optical polymer sensor lenses, and zirconia ceramics for the Watch and Edition, with sapphire lenses. Very impressive is possibility to choose in the big quantity of bands. The 38mm Apple Watch has a display size of 340-by-272 pixels.The 42mm Apple Watch has a display size of 390-by-312 pixels. The display is from Retina - OLED (organic light-emitting diodes), and that's a first for Apple. There are two physical buttons for the control on the side: button and the Digital Crown with that you can zoom the screen or look for in apps. Also there is the way to use the voice navigation Siri, which you can know from the iPhone. The control is very easy and fast. Especially if you want to take call and you can't find your phone you can use the built-in speaker and microphone. The apps are the same like in your iPhone. The response for email or message is faster than from your phone. You can set the alarm for any apps which you want and this way you can't miss any calls or message. The Watch is special in four chips which measure heart rate from your wrist. The sensor's four lenses are arranged in a diamond pattern; the top and bottom lenses are for the photodiodes, while the left and right are for the infrared and for the green LEDs. So Apple Watch measures all the ways you move, such as walking or taking the stairs. It even keeps track of when you stand up and encourages you to keep moving. The charging is on the same way like MacBook Air or Macbook Pro. The Watch has USB cable {in two sizes - 3 and 6 foot] that has magnetic disk at the end. Apple set battery life expectations at up to 48 hours of time display, 6.5 hours of audio playback, 6.5 hours of workout monitoring, and 3 hours of talk time. There's also a Power Reserve mode, designed to last up to 72 hours, that shuts down almost all processes except those required to keep and display time. For the fully charged is necessary about 2,5 hours. The Watch is water resistant but it is not suitable for the shower.
