So how has our experience with the Apple Watch been so far Well, it hasn't been too different then with any other smartwatch. You get notifications, it allows you to keep your watch in your pocket, unless it's something important, it's more discreet, you get a gentle tap on the wrist, unlike a...

Lovely design; Pressure-Sensitive display; Taptic Engine; Apple Pay; A large array of sensors

Low battery life; Expensive; Slow at times; A rather steep learning curve; Some features are less intuitive

I definitely enjoyed my time with the Apple Watch, but I still don't think it's a replacement for my trusty old Timex.

Attractive design; Secure, comfortable fit; Plenty of third-party apps

Expensive; Average battery life; Little functionality without connected iPhone

At this point, it is clear that virtually all of the major mobile device manufacturers are laser focused on the wearables market. While one could argue that the war for the wrist began a couple of years ago, most of the smartwatches that have shipped thus far have served only a small niche.

Limited nature compared to iOS devices will make device feel like unnecessary toy to some; Users might find price too high when compared to other wearables; Requires Bluetooth connection to iPhone for most features.

The Apple Watch is the best smartwatch we've used, and the first that feels friendly and has character. Watch OS 2.0 adds needed app and Siri abilities.

Unique communication methods make it special; Attractive design in multiple sizes; Notification taps are subtle; Setup is a breeze; Watch OS 2.0 fixes some app problems

Third-party apps crash; Software has a learning curve; One-day battery life

Welcome to our review of the original Apple Watch, which looks at the 2015 model's features, design and build quality, screen quality, interface, battery life, specs and pricing, and where appropriate contrasts it to the Apple Watch Series 1 and

The watch battery has drained extremely fast since the day i recieved it. A co-worker has the exact same model and i ask him what his battery percentage is throughout the day it is always waaaaaaay higher than mine. The watch battery drains just as fast even in power saving mode.

The Apple Watch is a highly capable smartwatch, even though it is far from the most affordable

Great design; Lovely screen; Accurate voice recogntion

Hard to learn interface; Limited useful apps
