Apple Watch arrives here June 26
You’ve seen the hype, you’ve heard the opinions, but come Friday 26th June, you have the means to decide for yourself: will the Apple Watch be the definitive Smartwatch for you?
Apple calls it its “most personal device”, which is part accurate timepiece, part immediate communication device, and part health and fitness companion. Its draw lies in its wealth of customisation possibilities in the form of many third party app experiences designed specifically for wrist use. Coupled with the excellent use of the Digital Crown for navigation and the super-sharp display with Force Touch to distinguish between a short and a long press, the Apple Watch is arguably the best smartwatch experience currently available. Plus, there’re already thousands of apps for Apple Watch, with new apps arriving each day.
If you purchase the watch from Apple, in-store or online, you will get a personalised setup to customise and pair it with your iPhone. Please note that Apple Watch requires you to have an iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.2 or later.
The Apple Watch will be available on 26 June from the Apple Online Store, Apple’s retail stores an select Apple Authorised Resellers. Local prices are not yet available; but as a guide, prices start from USD$349. Malmaison by The Hour Glass in Singapore will have a curated selection of Apple Watches available at launch.
