A reasonable question arises, which option to prefer?

And here Apple decided to offer maximum comfort in choosing a smart watch. If you go to the Apple Store, you can find a section there that helps you imagine the actual dimensions of wearable electronics. You need a tab Shop, where there is a separate section Apple Watch.

Download the actual watch size and print it out

Hello! The article will be useful to those who have already decided to buy a watch from Apple or are still looking at the new product. Let's look at the answers to the most popular questions - what is it, where and how to buy it, how much will it cost and, in the end, how can it be useful to an absolutely ordinary person?

This post will be in question-answer format. Some of them were received by email from site readers, some I found on the Internet. In general, sit back and get ready to find out everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask :) Preview Apple Watch is here - let's go!

The Apple Watch is essentially a small computer; it can also be called a “smart watch”, which naturally needs to be worn on the wrist. 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 is 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.

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.

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.

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 view them here. 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.

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

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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).

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:

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).

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.

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 area is reserved for operating system Watch OS and applications (which you will install).

Apple specifies that the battery will last an average of 18 hours. On the official page, there are more detailed information. So it's time Apple works Watch depending on 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.

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.

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 standard Bluetooth range is 9-15 meters. It's better not to go far :). However, if your Apple Watch and phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi networks, synchronization will be performed in any place where this network operates.

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!

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 your 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.

Apple Watch has released a new series of smart gadgets in two sizes - 38mm or 42mm. This gives the buyer the opportunity to choose a model in accordance with the individual parameters of the wrist. Sample c is preferred by girls, and sample c – 42mm by the opposite half of the sex. The selection criteria are not limited to these parameters. Let's talk about which Apple Watch is better to choose.

Comparison of Apple Watch 38mm and 42mm

A comparison of Apple Watch showed that representatives of different sizes are similar in characteristics. The samples were developed simultaneously, and they arrived on the shelves within one month of each other. Let's figure out what indicators 38 and 42 mean.

The numbers next to the gadget name indicate the screen size. Each user, regardless of gender, has certain tastes. Some people like the big screen, others prefer the miniature version. It is worth remembering the different strap parameters. Size 38mm is designed for wrist girth 130-200mm, and 42 – 140-210mm.

Hello, my name is Dima and I am addicted to my smartphone. Like many of you.

Even the autonomy of a smartphone is often measured in hours of screen operation. Four hours is considered an acceptable result. Four hours a day. More than a day a week. We hold it in our hands 60 days a year.

I'm starting for a reason Apple review Watch with similar calculations. They will help you understand what Apple's idea is. It's about making us free. And if not us, then at least our hands.

Appearance

Apple Watch is by far the most beautiful smart watch of all that exist. It's not even about the design (to be honest, the device resembles a greatly reduced very first iPhone), but about the details: the right materials, incredible build quality, attention to detail. This is a polished product, every part of it is in its place. Everything is “according to the canon”, as it should be in an Apple device.

All this splendor is not visible in the photographs, and it is not without reason that Apple invites everyone to personally familiarize themselves with the Apple Watch in their retail stores.

There are three models to choose from: Apple Watch Sport (cheaper) made of aluminum and tempered glass, positioned primarily as a fitness gadget; Apple Watch (more expensive) made of stainless steel, sapphire glass and ceramic, and the elite Apple Watch Edition made of gold for $10 thousand. Each model is available in two sizes, 38 and 42 mm.

There are many straps available for watches. All of them, including the “starter” plastic version, look nice in person.

Functionality

My model is the Apple Watch 42 with a steel plate strap (Link Bracelet). It looks great, the strap is securely fastened, and the watch fits well on the hand.

Like all analogues on Android Wear, the Apple Watch is synchronized with a smartphone, in this case with an iPhone 5 and higher. The functionality of the wearable device is fully revealed only when paired with an iPhone. They are capable of doing something without it (showing the time, counting steps and playing music), but only insofar as.

Home and most useful feature Apple Watch - notification management. Every message, every reminder will be broadcast on the watch screen. And you can react to it without touching the smartphone itself.

Communication is most conveniently implemented. You can respond to a message, be it an SMS or an email, by voice without taking your smartphone out of your pocket or purse. Call. The brush does not feel a strong, even pleasant vibration. We raise our hand, the display immediately lights up - we have received an SMS. Click on the microphone icon, dictate the text, lower your hand. Your iPhone in your pocket will do the rest.

WITH by email even more interesting. If the email client supports Apple Watch, an incoming letter can be sent to spam with a couple of swipes, marked as read, deleted - in general, you can do almost everything that is necessary.

Speaking of vibration. The watch has a special Taptic Engine built into it, and it vibrates quite unusually, giving the impression that someone is touching your hand. This vibration is not annoying at all, and this is important, because you will have to feel it very, very often.

In general, Apple's attempt to rethink communication through wearable technologies can be given a big plus. But all other functions are purely auxiliary.

Apple Watch also performs well as a fitness tracker. They accurately collect information about your daily activity and organize it in a special application, measure your pulse, support GPS, and issue symbolic rewards for completing your daily number of steps. If you sit still for a long time, the watch will even suggest you take a walk for a couple of minutes.

In addition, on the watch you can use Siri to set reminders (convenient), switch playing tracks (less convenient), search for information on the Internet (inconvenient), and talk on the phone through the watch (not at all inconvenient). The last function is very useful on paper, but in practice it is only needed if you are at home. The speaker is very quiet - not for a noisy street.

I also do not advise you to go to the emoji selection menu. Almost all of them are incredibly scary in the truest sense of the word. A yellow, convulsing, eyeless (sic!) face with a protruding tongue will haunt your dreams for a long time at night.

Control

Management raises many questions. Human interaction with the iPhone is actually tied to one button. And there are three ways to contact the Apple Watch at once - a reason for confusion. The Apple Watch controls come closest to…. computer mouse.

So, there is a “digital crown” - a wheel that is responsible for winding in traditional watches. In Apple Watch you can use it to scroll pages; a few taps on it will take you back to start screen, and a long press will call Siri.

You can interact with the watch through the screen: tap is like clicking the left mouse button, pressing hard is like clicking the right button, it opens additional menus. But what exactly will open is not always clear, and you have to experiment: go into the application, press hard on the display, see what happens.

Another button on the watch case will open a list of favorite contacts: from this menu you can quickly call or send an SMS.

addictive

The process of getting used to the Apple Watch, in a sense, is built on the principle of the famous five stages of accepting the inevitable, only without “depression” and “anger.”

The first stage, denial: I wear an Apple Watch, but I don’t remember about it, I regularly take my smartphone out of my pocket - I worry that I’ve missed something important.

The second stage, let's call it bargaining: I wear an Apple Watch, but I still reach for my phone out of habit. Then I remember that the clock is silent, which means there is nothing to worry about.

Third stage, acceptance: I wear on Apple hands Watch. Since they are silent, there is nothing to worry about.

You can get full pleasure from using your watch only after going through all three stages. This process may take a long time. Therefore, you should not draw conclusions about the Apple Watch half an hour after purchase. To begin with, it’s better to relax altogether, stop constantly looking sideways at your brush, and forget about the clock. They will remind themselves of themselves.

Comparison

Yes, the Apple Watch did not make a revolution, but everything that is here is executed one bar higher than that of its competitors. The clock unmistakably wakes up as soon as you turn your hand slightly, and goes out as soon as you lower your hand. Notifications are not duplicated on the device screen if you are holding the smartphone in your hands (the only exception is calls). Almost all parameters are customizable: vibration strength, font size, arrangement of elements on the dial, interface color. The process of creating a pair between the iPhone and Apple Watch is generally ingenious, and talking about it would ruin a pleasant surprise.

All these little things, not particularly significant individually, ultimately make the Apple Watch stand out from the faceless crowd of smartwatches. The creators of the Apple Watch knew that this device was not just a smaller smartphone, because it must be constantly worn on the body. And from this point of view, if not everything, then a lot has been thought out here.

Only time is on par with competitors' models battery life. If you use the watch without limiting yourself in any way, you won’t be able to squeeze more than a day out of your Apple Watch. So get ready to charge them before bed.

Doubt

I like Apple Watch. But perhaps the most unpleasant thing is that, with all my love for this gadget, I cannot clearly explain why someone should buy it.

Reading notifications from the brush is convenient, but even this “feature” is not worth buying a rather expensive (from 24 thousand rubles) device. Fitness functions are also available on smartphones. A appearance... Yes, the Apple Watch is nice, but can’t you seriously compare it with some similarly priced traditional models from Swatch?

The word “need” implies a need, something without which you will be worse off. But you definitely won't be worse off without an Apple Watch. Yes, this is certainly the best smartwatch ever created, it’s just a pity that the wearable industry can’t offer anything better.

But the Apple Watch is just the beginning. The beginning of a new era, the birth of a new platform, a whole type electronic devices. Once upon a time, the iPhone didn't have an app store. Can you imagine now? modern smartphone without access to millions of different programs?The question is rhetorical.

We live in a time when a computer can be carried on your hand. It remains to live until the time when this will really make sense.

Apple Watch - 7.9

Recently, it was possible to discover that a new slick Apple Watch application was released on the so-called “women's iPhone”. Some may have noticed the very recent advertisements in Sunday Times Style and American Vogue. Some people learned about them from a technical blog, but not everyone fully believed that “smart watches” would appear.

Others saw Beyonce wearing an 18-karat gold Edition Watch at Coachella and thought, “Holy crap, these are cool! I wouldn't mind having them either."

Most Apple Watch reviews involve a little guesswork. Many people have approximately the same wrist circumference and the same number of muscles to wear our favorite watch all day. Also, everyone has pockets that allow us to feel the vibration of our smartphone at the moment when you receive a fresh SMS.

No man can enjoy " the smartest watch”, unless they have a separate “special application”, despite this, the technical characteristics remain the decisive feature.

Let's take a closer look at this watch.

My God, what an exquisite wrist!

Okay, let's say. Personally, I have a small wrist. The entire collection of smartwatches that I wore, with the exception of the Pebble, were very huge for my small wrist. And “Moto 360”, which particularly attracted me. My wrist is not the smallest in our era of the highest special technologies - this award goes to Kashfia Kabir from the What Hi-Fi site, it was she who I asked to upload an image to Twitter. Here she is trying on a 42mm Apple watch.

Apple Watch is incredibly comfortable to wear on your hand.

They allow you to move your wrist without much effort and don't constrict your wrist. They are incredibly light, but don't feel cheap at all. Apple watches are made of quite high quality. It's great that the display is clearly visible without any special training and it is incredibly bright. The finish on the Digital Crown is excellent. I can swipe freely across the curved screen.

We propose to consider several models in more detail:

I think the bright lime green Apple Watch Sport looks very elegant. I wore the 38mm model for a long time and thought the look was reminiscent of a Casio. It was small, neat and a little obscure, but certainly in the best Urban Outfitters tradition.

I definitely wouldn't mind a watch with a mesh Milanese bracelet, or rather the rose gold Edition Watch, but it costs a whopping £10,000. This is, of course, everyone’s business, but it seems to me that the Apple watch model looks stylish. But if you are, of course, ready to spend money on something extraordinary, then wait for 2 or 3 varieties to appear, which will definitely retain their popularity for a long time.

Full Apple Watch review (video):

I want to take into account one more important point, namely the fasteners. I spend a lot of time on my MacBook Air, and every time I worry that I'll scratch it. With a strap made of silicone you don’t have to worry about this, but unfortunately, I can’t say that about much larger standing models.

Perhaps there is no place for pockets in your life

Are you a woman and wear trousers or jeans almost every single day? If yes, then the following passage is clearly not suitable for you. For example, I prefer to wear dresses, but the problem is that they don't often have pockets. It turns out that I never have the opportunity to put whatever I want in my pockets.

I try to clarify this for those who do not fully understand why I need a smart watch on my wrist, which allows me to read incoming messages and Twitter posts, since my phone is nearby, in my pocket. I repeat again, it almost never exists in my pocket, since not many clothes have pockets.

We invite you to read related articles:

I usually hold my phone in my hands (I’ll tell you this, it’s not comfortable), sometimes it’s in my bag (personally, it’s not convenient for me), sometimes it’s on the table not far from me. But somehow it doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing if I’m in a decent establishment, there are various devices lying around, and my phone is next to me.

Taptic Engine has many advantages over other smartwatch models. It has a number of advantages, including: sophistication; when I receive a new message, the vibration is quite noticeable, and it is impossible not to feel it. What makes this model different from Samsung and LG Apple Watch is that they are very comfortable to wear and will not put you in an awkward position if you are not at home. It can be explained this way: the screen lights up when you raise your hand.

We come to a general conclusion: if you want to entrust information and important events to a gadget, then the Apple Watch will perform this task perfectly. It doesn’t matter who you work for or how busy your day is with all sorts of things to do. Smart watches will help you cope with any need much better than other gadgets could do.

Look also at these watch models:

Up until this point, I had been using Android Wear all the time. Now I have an Apple Watch, and as a result, I really miss Google Now. In turn, Google Now is not suitable for everyone. Because its system can think about what you need.

It is capable of presenting your current location, as well as your calendar and search history. It seems to me that she resembles a personal assistant.

Work on yourself, baby (or not)

The network is constantly discussing functions that track our well-being and sports data. Many more can be added useful applications designed specifically for women.

As many of the fair sex have mentioned, all of us women tend to count everything. That's why we need such devices. All women have certain periods that we must track. For some reason, there is an application that calculates copper consumption. Developers, I ask you to start creating the previously mentioned.

The saddest thing is that we women are unable to eat the same amount of calories as men and still remain healthy. Therefore, we definitely need an app to monitor what we eat.

Apple Watch is not suitable for you if you want to track your runs, because... they don't have GPS. They're also not waterproof, so don't test them.

If you're tired of great-looking but pointless apps to track your workouts, the watch works with Strava, Runtastic, Endomondo and Lifesum, with MyFitnessPal and Weight Watchers coming in the future.

For me, the advantage of Apple tools is a special reminder to take a walk after a sedentary day. Many people don't like it, but I'm an exception.

An app that really has benefits is Apple Healt. It is capable of collecting the data you need from both your phone and watch. He has large quantity companions than Google Fit. They don't have any big names, but I have a feeling there will definitely be some over the course of the year.

An approximate solution for true ladies

It doesn't matter which one latest technologies it will be. Smart watches or jewelry from Altruis. Both of these will definitely be able to help today’s modern women in many ways. There is a so-called bracelet in our world that helps when you are hot or cold.

For comparison, you can also look at the clock:

This was my opinion about smart apple watch. Despite the fact that only 2 weeks have passed since their purchase, applications keep appearing and appearing. I advise you to read reviews of this watch.

There is no perfect device. Apple Watch is no exception. The creation of the second model will require a lot of work. There is no point in pleasing everyone - people have different tastes. I have many girlfriends and they all like different things.

When you visit the Apple Store, you will immediately understand whether it is your watch or not. Whether you like them or not. But overall, I recommend them to you. So this, I’m not afraid to say, is one of the new innovative technologies in our time. Which are just on your wrist.

But just think about it! You will have the opportunity to view photos on Instagram, VKontakte messages, new posts on Twitter directly from your watch. Or by looking at them you will know how soon your taxi will arrive. Now you won’t have to search long and painfully for your phone or tablet in your bag or pocket!

Are you a member of the fair sex and like to wear watches? Then we'd love to hear your thoughts on the design, features, health and fitness apps for smartwatches or anything else.

A few words about Apple products

Generally speaking, Apple is one of the highest quality, most sought-after and popular companies. It was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

In Russia, Apple products began operating in 2006.

The Apple Watch itself was presented by the company quite recently – on September 9, 2014. One of the first owners of this “miracle” was singer Katy Perry. Sales of Apple watches in Russia began on July 31, 2015.
