2015 Apple Watch Starts to Tick, Tick, Tick...

Apple Inc. unveiled its watch series in last September, and did not talk about any more other than the name-Apple Watch, sizes and prices.  The date to reveal all regarding the smartwatch has arrived. Let us have a comprehensive look, for the first time, of course, to 2015 Apple Watch.

According to customers’needs, Apple offers 3 kinds of models of the smartwatch: Apple Watch Sport, Apple Watch, and Apple Watch Edition, which all provide both 38mm and 42mm rectangular case sizing options, but materials and finishes vary by collection.

               

Apple Watch Sport

Apple Watch Sport has an anodized aluminum finish, which comes in both space gray and silver. These finishes will actually match most closely with the existing case materials of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, because of their matte look. The display of the Watch Sport editions are protected by a special ion-treated durable glass, similar to what is used on the iPhone, too. The Watch Sport will ship with a rubberized plastic sport band, which is available in a range of colors.

The Sport version of the Apple Watch is the most affordable in the range, but it also is the one that aesthetically most resembles the current iPhone models. Rubberized straps might not suit all tastes, but the interchangeable custom strap system Apple designed for all the watches mean users can easily change those out.

The Apple Watch Sport is $349 for the 38MM and $399 for the 42MM model.

Apple Watch

The Apple Watch is the middle-ground collection of the wearable, with stainless steel casing available in either a shiny polished silver or a glossy ‘space’ black. The stainless steel is paired with a sapphire crystal protective layer covering the display, which should provide additional scratch resistance vs. the basic Watch Sport model. Strap options on the Watch Collection include sport band, leather bands with multiple buckles and a leather loop, as well as a stainless steel link or Milanese loop bracelet. The choice of strap affects the price of the Watch collection.

 The Apple Watch is $549- $1049 depending on band for the 38MM. The Apple Watch steel 42MM runs $599-$1099 for the same.

Apple Watch Edition

The Watch Edition uses the same sapphire crystal to protect its screen, but it comes in either rose or yellow 18-karat gold, which partially accounts for its much higher cost. The Watch Edition also offers exclusive strap options, including leather bands and sport bands with special 18-karat gold hardware in finishes matching the case of each particular model.

Apple Watch Edition will cost over $10,000.
