Preview Apple Watch already here - let's go!

Basic definitions

What is this Apple Watch that everyone is talking about?

Apple Watch is essentially a small computer, it can also be called “ smart watch”, which naturally need to be worn on the hand. It has a huge number of functions, including displaying time and date, the ability to monitor health (steps taken, number of calories, pulse), synchronizing data with iPhone (contacts, SMS, notes, mail), making payments (not in our country:( ), remote controller remote control and much more.

By the way, sometimes they are called iWatch by mistake. This name is unofficial and fictitious.

So, is the Apple Watch the same iPhone – only small and to be worn on the hand?

In principle, you can say so, but the most important thing is that the watch is primarily an addition to the iPhone. They are designed to make using the phone even more convenient.

Apple Watch runs a variant of iOS called WatchOS. This operating system specially adapted (both in terms of power consumption and ergonomics) for wearable devices. It has a unique menu navigation system, recognizes the degree of pressure on the screen, there is also a replacement dial, a heart rate sensor, an NFC sensor for Apple Pay(not relevant for Russia) and much more.

Do you need an iPhone to use Apple Watch?

Yes, you will need iPhone version 5 and newer models. The operating system also has certain requirements - it must be iOS 8.2 or later. If the phone version is older, then you will not be able to “pair” with the iPhone and take advantage of most of the functions.

Can I use my iPad or iPod with my Apple Watch?

Unfortunately no, you will not be able to pair your watch with an iPad or iPod of any generation. At least this cannot be done in this moment.

When will it be possible to buy an Apple watch?

They will go on sale on April 24 in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Great Britain, and the USA. As can rightly be noted, Russia is not among these countries. So for those who want to own a new product on the first day of sales there are two ways:

Visit one of these countries.
Wait for the resellers (the price will probably be jacked up).

At the time of writing, there is no clear information about when the Apple Watch will go on official sale in the Russian Federation. There are several different data from many sources about the release date; most agree that official deliveries should be expected 2-3 months after the start of sales.

What is the price of Apple Watch in the USA and Russia?

At the moment, only prices in the USA and Europe are known for certain. The pricing itself depends on what version of the watch, its size and what strap is used.

Since this time the company from Cupertino has diversified the lineup, it makes no sense to list absolutely all configurations. You can always watch them. Let me just note that the most inexpensive version will cost $349. For more expensive lovers, the maximum price is $17,000.

If we translate into rubles, then we should expect the Apple Watch in Russia to cost from 22,000 to 900,000 (that’s not a typo!) rubles.

Update! In the end, this is what happened: prices for Apple watches in Russia start at 21,000 thousand rubles.

Will watches purchased in Europe or the USA work in Russia?

Of course. There are no restrictions. You can absolutely safely purchase an Apple Watch anywhere and use it anywhere in the world, including in the Russian Federation.

What's included in the package?

In addition to the watch itself, the Apple Watch package includes:

Strap.
Magnetic charging cable.
USB adapter (Apple Watch Series 2 only).
User manual.

Modifications and types of Apple Watch

The watches come in three different collections based on case and display materials:

Apple Watch Sport (Silver Aluminum 7000 Series with Ion-x Glass, back panel made of composite material).
Apple Watch (316L stainless steel, sapphire crystal, ceramic glass back).
Apple Watch Edition (18K rose gold sapphire crystal, ceramic glass back).

For each edition, different variations with straps are possible.

Are there any differences between the models due to what they are made of?

No! All specifications are the same and they provide identical functionality. It doesn't matter if it's $359 or $17,000. The only difference is in the materials of manufacture.

Size and weight

For each modification, there are two display sizes – 38 mm and 42 mm. The remaining dimensions are as follows:

38.6 mm. Width 33.3 mm, height 10.5 mm.
42 mm. Width 35.9 mm, height 10 mm.

Weight varies depending on the material of the case and strap, the minimum is 25 g. The maximum (gold) is 69 g.

Is Russian available in the Apple Watch menu?

Unfortunately, at the moment there is no support for the Russian language in the watch. Although it is possible to quickly respond to messages specifically on the “great and mighty”.

Update! With coming new firmware, Everything has changed. Now declared full support Russian language. If your watch has old version OS, it makes sense to update as soon as possible. Let me remind you that software updates occur using (from the menu) a companion device (iPhone).

Is it waterproof?

The head of the company, Tim Cook, said that he regularly goes to the shower with his Apple Watch. However, at the same time he noted that he would not recommend diving or immersing them in water for a long time.

The watch is officially water resistant to the ipx7 standard. This means you can wear them to the gym and even take a shower. But you should refrain from diving 1 meter for more than 30 minutes.

What sensors does the Apple Watch have?

Each gadget, regardless of the collection, is equipped with the following sensors:

Heart rate (to measure pulse).
Accelerometer and gyroscope (counts the number of steps, and even which floor you climbed to).
Ambient light sensor (to save battery - the screen turns off when necessary).

Screen

All models are equipped with a Retina display. The screen of the Sport collection (the most inexpensive) is covered with ion-x glass. Watch and Edition have a sapphire display finish. Although Apple company does not confirm this, most agree that the display is made using OLED technology (allows for deeper blacks and reduced power consumption).

Now about the physical dimensions:

38 mm. 340x372 pixels.
44 mm. 390x312 pixels.

What processor is installed in the Apple Watch?

The watch is powered by the Apple C1 processor. There is no exact information about it yet, but they say its performance is somewhere between the Apple A4 and A5 (iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S).

Wireless connections

We couldn’t do without them, which is quite logical: for a high-tech gadget, high technology!

Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (LE) connectivity for discovery and pairing.
Wi-Fi version 802.11 b/g/n 2.4 GHz for fast data exchange.
NFC for Apple PAY.

Internal memory capacity in Apple Watch

Is 8 GB. Moreover, all memory is divided into parts and a limited amount of space is available for each type of information.

2 gigabytes for music.
75 megabytes for photos and pictures.
The rest of the part is reserved for the Watch OS operating system and applications (which you will install).

Battery life

Apple specifies that the battery will last an average of 18 hours. On the official page, there are more detailed information. So, the operating time of the Apple Watch depending on the conditions:

18 hours in mixed mode.
3 hours talk time.
6.5 hours of audio playback.
If you use it exclusively as a watch, you can see the time within 48 hours.
Power reserve – 72 hours.

up to 80% – 1.5 hours.
up to 100% – 2.5 hours.

How does charging occur?

Apple Watch comes with a special magnetic cable. It's buckled on back gadget. So there are no ports present. Which is quite convenient and has a positive effect on water resistance.

Apple Watch and iPhone

Do I need special software to sync iPhone with Apple Watch?

No, you don't need to download anything additional. The synchronization application is already installed on iPhone (from version 5) and iOS from version 8.2.

How to create and unpair a watch and an iPhone?

Opening Apple app Watch on iPhone, select the “my watch” tab and click “start pairing”.

In order to disconnect devices, there is a special item in the application. When you press it, you will be asked if you want to do backup copy Apple Watch data? It will come in handy if you plan to use this particular iPhone with your watch in the future.

The distance at which the connection is not interrupted

The standard Bluetooth range is 9-15 meters. It's better not to go far :). However, if Apple Watch and your phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, it will sync anywhere that network is active.

Is it possible to connect Apple Watch and another Bluetooth device to iPhone at the same time?

Apple has still not provided official information regarding the simultaneous iPhone work with Apple Watch and other Bluetooth devices (such as headphones). But most likely it will be possible.

Can I connect my Apple Watch to multiple iPhones?

To use it with another iPhone, you need to disconnect the connection to the one it is currently connected to. You will be prompted to make a backup copy of your data and then, when you return to the original phone, there will be no need to set everything up again!

If you forgot your iPhone at home, will the watch become useless?

No. Even if the Apple Watch doesn't have access to data, there are still plenty of features you can take advantage of:

View time.
Setting alarms and timers.
Physical activity tracking - heart rate, pedometer (although you won’t be able to track the route - there is no GPS receiver).
View photos and playlists.
Apple Pay.
Various third party applications.

Does Apple Watch affect iPhone battery drain?

From what is known at the moment, the watch is used Bluetooth standard 4.0 LE (Low Energy). This means that their use will have virtually no effect on the phone’s battery.

In this review, I did not talk about controls, menus and the like. For two reasons:

It turned out to be quite big anyway.
It’s better to talk about these things (and show them) with a full-fledged device in hand.

I would like to note that if you are interested in any information regarding the Apple Watch that is not included in this review, please ask your questions in the comments. I will definitely supplement this article with interesting materials.

The Apple Watch isn't one of the must-have gadgets for everyone, but using it can make a number of tasks easier. For example, listening to music without using an iPhone or determining physical activity, which may be necessary for people monitoring their health. Knowing how to use iWatch, you can receive SMS messages and phone calls– and not only from iPhone, but also from models running Android OS.

The first question a watch user has is about turning it on. There are three ways how to turn on Apple Watch:

Setting up a smart watch

Next important question– how to set up Apple Watch for further work. To do this you will need an iPhone, preferably with latest version operating room iOS systems. The first generation smartwatches required an iPhone 5. The Apple Watch Series 3, sold since September 2017, cannot be set up without an iPhone 6 model.

In order to connect Apple Watch to iPhone, you need to synchronize the devices with each other. The pairing process with the third series of watches will not take much time:

The Watch application is downloaded to the smartphone, in which the button to create a pair with a smart watch is pressed.
The iPhone is brought up to the watch.
On the watch, press a similar button in the settings.
The iPhone camera viewfinder is pointed at the watch screen, where a picture resembling a galaxy appears.

4. Enter Apple password ID with which the user has access to various services.

5. Set up the operation of geolocation, the Activity application and, if necessary, mobile communications from the iPhone.

6. Install applications from the online store and configure various useful services.

For example, to change watch face on Apple Watch You just have to press hard on the screen. The watch face gallery will open. You need to scroll through it with a swipe gesture and select the option you like.

The replacement can also be done from a smartphone - the watch is automatically set to the language selected on the iPhone for typing SMS.

Digital Crown button

A novice watch user might be interested in learning about the Digital Crown on the Apple Watch. What is it and what functionality does it have? The main purpose of the part is to scroll through images, lists and maps, control sound, font sizes and other sliders.

In this case, the Apple Watch can only monitor the phone's charge, receive SMS and call notifications. There are no options for sending a message, making a call or answering a call.

Multimedia

When all the settings are completed, you can start downloading to your smart watch useful information– including multimedia files.
