{AMAZING} Apple Unveils £220 Wristwatch(iWatch) Which Can Monitor Pulse

Apple has taken its first foray into the world of wearables, as it just unveiled its wristwatch, named iwatch! The rectangular wristwatch was unveiled alongside two new, larger iPhone handsets, and a new mobile payment system called Apple Pay.

According to Dailymail, the watch has a completely new user interface, different from the iPhone, and the ‘crown’ on the Apple Watch is a dial called the ‘digital crown.’ Users can turn the crown to zoom in and out on a map, or scroll a list.

The crown can also be pressed to take the user back to the home screen. Different areas on the watch face can be customised with taps and swipes, and force touches. The watch understands questions in messages and then offers pre-selected answers, and messages can be dictated to the iPhone. Users can also talk to the watch and send a voice reply, or have it transcribed to them.

There is no keyboard on the watch, and messages can only be sent through dictation, or emoji.

Music can also be controlled on an iPhone through the Apple Watch. According to Apple chief executive Tim Cook:

‘Apple Watch is the most personal device we’ve ever created.’‘It’s also a comprehensive health and fitness device [and] is precise, synced to the internet, accurate to within 50 milliseconds. ‘It can be worn all day, in any occasion.’

The watch works ‘seamlessly’ with the iPhone 5C, 5S as well as the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and it lets users dictate messages via a microphone on the device.

Its screen is a touchscreen, but it also senses force, and can tell the difference between ‘a tap and a press.’ For example, pressing down will recognise as a right click.

The Apple Watch comes in three finishes – Apple Watch, which comes in silver, the Apple Watch Sport and the Apple Watch Edition, which will be available in 18-karat gold.

The wearable will be available from early 2015 and prices start at $349. Apple didn’t specify what the battery life was like on the Apple Watch, but did say it would need to be charged each night.

The watch’s straps are interchangeable, and they come in a range of colours and materials, including plastic and leather.

There are two sizes of the watch, dubbed male and female versions, with matching smaller straps and finishes.

Other features include Glances, which shows information users would like to see, similar to Google Now.

It is accessed by swiping the screen up from the bottom, and shows calendar invites, weather and traffic for example.
