Our Apple Watch review looks at the Apple Watch's features, design and build quality, screen quality, user interface, hardware controls, first- and third-party apps, battery life, specs and pricing.

Gorgeous design; Comfortable to wear; Multiple variants to appeal to many people; Notification support means you can glance and carry on with your day

Interface can be counterintuitive at first; occasionally feels sluggish; third-party apps run relatively slowly

When Guy Sémon, Tag Heuer general director, told Wired back in March that the Apple Watch was not a watch but a connected device for the wrist , he was more or less correct. But this is not a bad thing.

Before even going on sale the Apple Watch, which some affectionately call the iWatch, has already polarised opinion around the globe. You probably either believe it's a product moving technology in a positive direction or one simply not worth the time of day.

Great design; Glances; stylish; battery life; reply to text messages

Apps are slow to load; no GPS; no third-party watch faces; doesn't offer huge amounts over what is on the market

Update: Apple Watch is new again, at least it will be when you download the watch OS 3 beta later this month. Before Apple Watch 2 launches, read our fresh review what the Apple Watch can do now.

I've been wearing Apple's first wearable since it hit shelves last spring and in most ways my opinion almost entirely mirrors our initial review. Once you've looked past the typically stylish Apple design, the Watch is an overly complicated piece of tech that still doesn't really know what it wants...

Best-looking smartwatch so far; Force Touch well integrated; Digital Crown is a useful addition; Comfortable to wear

Unintuitive and buggy software; Significantly drains iPhone battery; Third-party apps need work; Some gimmicky features

Apple's smartwatch , called the Apple Watch is an extension of your iPhone, allowing you to get up-to-the minute notifications, news and even map directions on your wrist. Here's our Apple Watch review.

As the mobile market continues to evolve, the latest innovations by companies such as Apple have given rise to the iWatch . Although early reports suggest the first incarnation of Apple's Smartwatch might not live up to expectations (especially the top model priced at more than ￡6,500/$10,000), tech...

I had a ￡11,500 Apple Watch Edition strapped to my wrist today. Rose gold. 38mm. Rose gray strap that felt like butter, with a modern buckle also in solid 18-carat gold. It was beautiful.

It's hard to pin down a specific thing that makes the Apple Watch special, but having worn one for almost two weeks now, it's become an important, valuable part of my everyday life. In some ways it's the ultimate gadget.

A really lovely; classy device - more so than any rival; Already a number of very useful and clever apps and deluge hasn't even begun; Enhances your gadget life in subtle but significant ways

A day of battery isn't ideal and precludes sleep tracking; Not as instantly intuitive as other Apple devices

i am not so sure about the watch. it works more with what is on the phone. messages have to be done on the phone. it needs charged daily just like the phone. the memory is not very large.
