Apple Watch : What's inside ?
Hey guys ! Adam is here and today I will show you the full specs and my own opinion about Apple's smart watch , especially the Apple Watch Sport.
I-Design :
Apple wants you to think of the Apple Watch as fine
jewelry. Maybe that's a stretch, but in terms of craftsmanship, there
isn't a more elegantly made piece of wearable tech.
Look at the Apple Watch from a distance, and it might appear
unremarkable in its rectangular simplicity compared with bolder,
circular Android Wear watches. It's clearly a revamped sort of iPod
Nano.
But get closer, and you can see the seamless, excellent
construction.The Apple Watch feels a bit chunky compared to Apple's stable of
super-slim gadgets, but it doesn't look big on the wrist. The larger
42mm version has length, width and thickness similar to the Pebble Steel
, one of the smaller smartwatches available. The 38mm version is even
smaller. The 42mm version I reviewed felt great on my wrist and didn't
feel uncomfortable at all.
II-Hardware Performance and Specs :
All Apple Watches have a new S1 processor made by Apple, that "Taptic" haptic engine and a force-sensitive and very bright OLED display, which is differently sized on the 38mm and 42mm models. The watch has its own accelerometer, gyrometer and heart-rate monitor, but no onboard GPS. It uses Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz Wi-Fi to connect to your phone or your home network. There's a built-in speaker and microphone, but no headphone jack.
III-Display :
The Apple Watch has its main watch faces, but also two levels of apps:
Glances, which are a lot like the quick-glance app summaries in iOS 8's
pull-down "Today" menu (or the occasional cards that appear in Android
Wear), and full-fledged apps. You swipe up for Glances, down for
on-watch notifications like texts or Twitter/Facebook alerts and click
the Digital Crown button in to get to that "home screen" grid of glowing
circular apps you've seen in all the ads.
IV-Battery life :

V- Conclusion :
The Apple Watch is one of my favorite smartwatches, but it needs
better battery life, too. Making it through a single day isn't enough: I
want it to last through another day, and another. The Pebble became my
favorite smartwatch because its multiday battery made it feel more like a
regular watch.
If you're curious where Apple is
going next and have $350-$400 to spend, the entry-level Apple Watch
might be fun to explore. Otherwise I'd wait and see how the apps shape
up in the fall, and how much the new Apple Watch features improve
things. There's a lot of time left to decide...
