Apple finally unveiled its long-rumored wearable device, the Apple Watch, aka ?Watch. While many expected the wearable to be called the “iWatch,” Apple actually opted to use the Apple symbol ? followed by “Watch” for the device’s name. According to Apple’s head of design Jony Ive, Apple has been working on the device for three years. Apple CEO Tim Cook has said that Apple’s objective with the watch is to “change the way you live your life.”
Its more than a smart watch. It’s a super iPod, iPhone companion and a useful fitness device. I am going to discuss about its features, design and its limitations.
Apple products are known for its hardware specification. Always Apple will concentrate on hardware side of its products to provide stability and better durability in its device. This time too Apple won the match by introducing S1 Processor in its watches. Apple made with “Taptic” engine, force sensitive bright OLED display.
Apple’s Watch is designed to be a companion device to the iPhone, and as such, it requires an iPhone to function. The Watch is not a standalone device because it relies on the iPhone for many features like relaying notifications and messages. In fact, initial Apple Watch apps are entirely powered by the iPhone to preserve battery. The Apple Watch lasts for 18 hours per charge with mixed usage and up to 72 hours in Power Reserve Mode, which limits functionality.
Though dependent on the iPhone, the Apple Watch is able to connect to known Wi-Fi networks without an iPhone, letting it perform some basic functions like sending and receiving texts, querying Siri, and sending and receiving drawings.

There’s no question that the Apple Watch is the most capable smartwatch available today. It is one of the most ambitious products I’ve ever seen; it wants to do and change so much about how we interact with technology. But that ambition robs it of focus: it can do tiny bits of everything, instead of a few things extraordinarily well. For all of its technological marvel, the Apple Watch is still a smartwatch, and it’s not clear that anyone’s yet figured out what smartwatches are actually for.
