Again queues were formed (albeit more limited compared to the golden years iPhone euphoria), before the store the first day of sale of the Apple Watch. It is the clock “intelligent” on which Apple has a lot to open a new era of consumer electronics. Three versions can be purchased, starting from 419 euro. Leaving aside the Forbidden Apple Watch Edition (with shell and finishes in 18-carat gold from 18,400 euro), the focus is on Apple Watch Sport, the most economic proposal and colorful, and suitable for young people to fitness and sporting activities and, of course, on Apple Watch, a kind – as someone called it – of “Walking version” steel (instead of aluminum) and Dial-retina display protected by sapphire crystal glass, which combines the ‘ need to have some sort of smartphone wrist with that dell’indossare a beautiful object to see and want. Will soon be a status symbol, it is to be expected, even though prices are more savory than expected, from 669 to as many as 1,269 Euros, depending on the chosen solution and despite the recession. The clock Apple today, as well as in Italy, debuted in Mexico, Spain, South Korea, Singapore, Switzerland and Taiwan, bringing to sixteen countries in which is available after the “big markets” tread of April.

The password – “It is the most personal device ever produced by Apple,” said the “number one” Tim Cook, presenting the object of desire on September 9 last year at the Flint Center in Cupertino. Customize, change, “customize” (from customitation), are verbs that explain better the new mantra of the heirs of Steve Jobs. There is the Apple Watch, but “your” Apple Watch. With what objective? Bring productivity at the highest level, you can do in seconds what you do in minutes on your smartphone and in hours on the computer. No small ambition, even though, the first comments speak of an object against anxiety by phone. Not to mention the criticism more austere and more authoritative, like that expressed in a review of the US site Mashable: the most useless objects that soon could become the most useful.

five straight – Here are five things that, in our opinion, it is worth knowing immediately on Apple Watch.
1. Eye iPhone. are three versions, as mentioned, but the software, what the Watch Apple can and does do, is one. Changing materials, straps, available colors. And they are many. Two, however, the screen size: 42 mm (1.7 inch) and 38 millimeters, we would say “women”. Beware, however, without an iPhone to bind it (version 5 and above), it is little more than a watch. So, you have to pair the phone recognizes it framing it with the camera, from there the process takes a couple of minutes or so. The screen is turned off, to activate it simply turn your wrist slightly to read the time. For the rest, the dial appear message notifications, calls received, the trend of Twitter, the photos posted on Instagram (but currently not Facebook), Google maps … In short, everything or almost to what has this on your iPhone. We talk about “second screen” here, the definition fits.
2. Good battery. The battery, weak point of many devices, has autonomy up to 18 hours and lasts for an entire day without problems. Watch, particularly, has a charging solution based on technology MagSafe Apple and, instead of the traditional loader, it is equipped with a magnetic base on which it rests at end of day.
3. The digital crown. How Apple controls the Watch? Forget the two fingers resting on the screen of the iPhone and iPad to stretch, everything is governed by the digital crown, a crown on the side like a normal clock with which to zoom in, zoom out, move. The function is very similar to that of this ring on the old iPod to choose their own music. A digression deserves Siri, the virtual assistant and voice, which here seems perfectly integrated. At the Apple Watch, in fact, they give voice commands. This can be useful if the phone is in your pocket or if you want to send messages (without writing), but dictating to Siri.
4. Stop ring tones. The other new technology (for Apple, but not for several smartband commercially) is Taptic Engine, ie the system of tactile feedback, alerts and notifications “silent”, thanks to a slight vibration on the wrist, warning of the arrival of a phone, remember an appointment or even that you sit for half an hour and it is better to stretch a bit ‘legs …
5. Many app. As usual for Apple the difference they make apps: 3500 are already available. The user may select 20 to make immediately visible on the dial. Just come with a simple swipe of the finger section looks. The advice is to take a few hours, a few days better, to understand better. Watch Apple needs a minimum of training, because it relies entirely on customizing colors, functions, even smileys to be exchanged. Watch Apple has no GPS: for those who make physical activity, therefore, it will be good to have the first few times is watch that iPhone with them in order to calibrate the app to their profile. And that customitation both.
