Apple Watch is Cupertino's new wearable


If you're tired of rumors and speculation about Cupertino's so called "iWatch," then good news -- that all ends today. Apple has just confirmed the arrival of its first fully-fledged wearable device -- Apple Watch. How much of what we heard in the run up to the event was true? How does it compare to the recent slew of Android smartwatches? In typical Apple fashion, the device has a few surprises.


Apple Watch has a saffire display, four sensors on the back, and a choice of straps at launch. Apple claims it's accurate to 50ms and is the "most personal device we've ever created." Probably to the surprise of many, the new watch isn't swiss-style at all, in fact sharing much of the iPhone's design language -- curved edges and a power button on the side. There's also a hardware dial, just like on a regular watch, that Apple is calling a "digital crown," which can be used to navigate menus, zoom into images and more.


How will it work? Tim Cook is keen to assure that his team didn't want to create a boiled down iPhone -- joking that there's no pinch-to-zoom etc.
