Note - the following review is based on my personal experiance.!
Its just a watch but more futuristic type.first lets know something about apple watch
Basically Apple watch is used for 4. purpose(as TIM says)
1) communication
Tim Cook wants to reinvent the way we communicate without our phones. The Watch has a few interesting approaches.
Digital Touch: This feature is Apple's way of advancing communication. Users can draw quick images to friends, using minimal effort.Related is the Watch's Taptic Engine, which alerts you of notifications with a simple "tap, " probably similar to a vibration. You can also use the feature to send "taps" to a friend to get his or her attention.
Animated Emoji: The little graphic images can be customized. You can send a smiley face, but you can also make it wink, or stick its tongue out with the animated new feature.
Receive calls and texts: The Watch is compatible with the iPhone 5 and beyond(bad news for folks still on model 4). It can accept texts and calls.
Analyzes texts: The Watch looks at your incoming texts and analyzes the content. Based on that, it can suggest quick replies that you can send straight from your wrist.
Walkie talkie: Not just for kids anymore. Using the watch's mic, you can send quick voice messages to other users.
Wi-Fi: Of course.
2) Fitness
As anticipated, the Watch is a total fitness tool. The numerous features will connect with Apple's Health app, making it the hub of all your personal body information.
Measures heart rate: Using a custom heart rate sensor located on the back of the watch, you can measure your heart rate at any time. Using the Watch's Taptic Engine, you can also send a friend your heartbeat(yes, seriously).
Accelerometer: The Watch counts your steps, calculates the calories you've burned and generally measures total body activity.
Set workout goals: Already nestled in the gadget is an app called Workout. It gives you "real-time stats, " like your pace, the calories burned and time spent working out. You can set personal goals and the app will summarize your achievements.It also couples with the already-included Activity app, which gathers your daily fitness data. When you hit your goal in the Activity or Workout app, you can earn a special badge. The purpose of the badges is to gamify working out and keep you encouraged.
3) app usage
One of the most exciting things about the new Watch is its overall app functionality. That's what makes it such a powerful little tool.
WatchKit: The smart accessory comes with a developer tool called WatchKit, which allows developers to create third party apps. When the Watch is finally on sale, there will be a slate of new apps specifically created for the wristlet.
4) Miscellaneous
There are dozens of other features on the Apple Watch. Here are the most important ones.
iTunes and Apple TV access: It wouldn't be a true Apple product if it didn't have access to entertainment. You can access your iTunes library and listen to iTunes Radio, and access Apple TV with a simple swipe.There's also a music control feature, which allows you to pause, play or skip songs, in addition to raising and lowering the volume — this feature is ideal for those working out, who want quick access to basic music controls.
Siri: She's with you on your wrist. Using the watch's mic, you can access Siri and use it to dictate a text, or ask questions.
Maps: By asking Siri for directions, you can use the new Maps feature on the Watch. She will direct you where to turn as you walk, like an invisible guide.
siri and maps
Apple Pay: One of the most-talked about new Apple products is Pay, the virtual wallet that digitizes your banking information. In addition to the iPhone 6, it's also available on the new Watch. Apple Pay can be used at various businesses, such as Whole Foods, Duane Reade, Macy's and more.
Sensitive automatic display: When you raise your wrist, the watch display will automatically turn on(because it's been waiting for you), and if you get an incoming call you want to ignore, simply cover the display with your hand.
REVIEW
Now lets look at the USELESSNESS of this watch
1) communication
wait! what? communication really.as if our mobiles were not enough for calling and messaging n now we need to buy a watch for reading message n receiving calls.REALLY THINK! and more over.you have to buy an Iphone just to use it in a better way
Emoji- guys really.many apps are there on appstore for animated emojis for free you dont have to spent a 4-digit number just to download them.download them and enjoy your life full of emoji.
SIR TIM I think Mr. Jobs have given us SIRI on our Iphone which could be used to read out and reply for texts.
OH! MY GOD.WIFI on a watch.! my life goal is completed now.!
2) Fitness
Well its good that it gives a track of our daily routine.but guys really you don't need a watch for your fitness goals. We humans are capable enough to keep a track of our fitness.!
we also have an application called HEALTH on our iPhone to keep record of our fitness.
HEART-RATE measurement- if you are RICH and likes to SHOW-OFF.best thing ever made for you.just run and grab one
3) App usage-
its good we get notification of our application and games on our wrist.but no real need of it.APPLE we don't need stuffs for such things.
4) miscellaneous
its is just waste.waste.waste.i personally felt no such requirement of these.
SIRI and maps.guys as we know the apple maps are the worst for INDIA we can't find any route navigation.instead we have to download Google Maps thus occupying extra space.!
talking about SIRI(the technology I like the most) is some sort of useful in day to day life.but SIRI on watch is not worth it.the simple steps we can do is JUST PLUG IN YOUR EARPOD AND PLAY WITH SIRI.
THE CONCLUSION
basically I don't find any kind of usefulness in this product,
TOO COSTLY.
Worthy only for watching Time.
only for the rich kids useful to showoff
so guys if you need a watch just go and buy a simple ROLEX or RADO instead of an APPLE WATCH it would be the better use of your money.
