I bought this as a gift for myself but I really wanted the rose gold one but it was sold out at the time now the rose gold is available and I gave this one to my daughter and she loves it.....my rose gold watch is on its way and I can't wait!!!

It's hard to justify purchasing an Apple Watch, considering how redundant a device it really is. In most cases, the Watch costs more than the iPhone is it designed to complement. Imagine paying more for a full-featured remote control than your actual TV.

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

It's not without its flaws, but the Apple Watch is beautifully designed and has some great features for iPhone owners. Is it the right smartwatch for you? Find out in our Apple Watch review.

After months of anticipation, the Apple Watch is here. But as pre-release hype wanes and units trickle out to early adopters, it's now a question of whether the Apple Watch delivers on its promise of being the company's "most personal device ever."

New; intuitive technologies for interaction; Hardware design with great band options; Notifications and good built-in apps; Apple Pay integration

Sluggish third party apps; Clunky Apple Watch iPhone app; Passbook not as useful as on iPhone; Siri needs improvement; audio feedback; No third party clock faces

Wired's product editor spends 10 days getting to grips with the Apple Watch in an attempt to see if it really is a life-changing piece of tech or in fact the emperor's new timepiece.

Design; 'haptic' interface; Siri performs well

Lacklustre launch apps; time checking is problematic; expensive

Update: Our Apple Watch review now addresses three iPhone smartwatches: the original Apple Watch, Apple Watch Series 1 and Apple Watch 2 , the latter having a built-in GPS chip, waterproof specs or extra battery life.

"I will not have sex with anyone who wears an Apple Watch," read a headline published on Gawker , shortly after wearable's pricing was confirmed. "Nine reasons only a tool would buy the Apple Watch," was another, found on The Guardian .

Fantastic fitness tracker; Comfortable to wear; no irritation from strap; Oozing with potential

Long load times on third party apps; Steep learning curve; Expensive

I really, really like the Apple Watch. I didn't think I was going to.

Beautiful design; Decent battery life; Excellent for messaging

Expensive; Software can be clunky; Apps can be slow

Editors' note: On September 7, 2016, Apple debuted the Apple Watch Series 2 and revamped the original Apple Watch. Rechristened the Apple Watch Series 1 , the new entry-level model features a faster, dual?core processor; the latest operating system, watchOS 3; and a lower price of $269.

Beautifully constructed; Handles messages well; A solid fitness tracker; Hundreds of apps; Can send and receive voice calls via an iPhone; Lots of design choices; Apple Pay-enabled; Stores music for local playback over Bluetooth

Battery only lasts a little more than a day; Most models and configurations cost more than they should; Requires an iPhone to work; Interface can be confusing; Many apps load slowly; Lacks built-in GPS
