Apple Watch Review!

The video presents a thorough early look at Apple's first smartwatch, detailing the three available models,Apple Watch, Apple Watch Sport, and Apple Watch Edition,and noting that the main differences lie in materials and band choices. The presenter highlights the two size options, 38 and 42 millimeters, and points out that while the 38mm is quite small, many buyers prefer the 42mm for readability, drawing a rough size comparison to other Wearables like the Moto 360. He emphasizes the watch’s $700 starting price for the model shown with a leather band and stresses that the goal is to stand out and be noticeably better than competing smartwatches. The video covers the interchangeable bands, the digital crown, and the two physical buttons, explaining how the watch interfaces with iPhone apps, notifications, and Glances which provide glanceable information. App management is described as a function of the iPhone’s Apple Watch app, with organization of apps and Glances being refreshed in real time after changes. The reviewer notes that while some built-in Apple Watch apps perform well, third-party options are limited and the overall app experience can be slow compared to using the iPhone directly. He concludes that the Apple Watch excels as a notification device, saving time and battery by surfacing important alerts quietly on the wrist, while also praising the tactile vibration feedback and the watch’s fitness reminders. In the end, the watch is framed as an accessory to the iPhone rather than a standalone device, with the main caveat being the price and the current lack of third-party watch faces, which leaves room for future improvements and a potential second version that could broaden customization and features.
