The Apple Watch Comes in Three Models with Six Different Straps
Meghan Young — September 9, 2014 — Tech
Although there doesn't appear to be very much difference between the Apple Watch and the rest of the smartwatches currently on the market, the versatility of the styles available will excite many. Avoiding the typical labels designating one for men and another for women, there are three Apple Watch models: Sport, Edition and Standard. There are also six different straps to choose from.
Sleek and stylish, the Apple Watch is described as the next chapter in the company's history by Tim Cook. A "comprehensive health and fitness device," Cook states that it's also "an extremely precise and customizable timepiece." The glass covering the Apple Watch is made out of sapphire crystal and the display is able to recognize the difference between a tap and a press.
The Apple Watch will encourage non-verbal communication. For example, Chris Taylor writes, "To suggest going out for sushi, draw a picture of a fish in a text. To respond enthusiastically, send your actual heartbeat." That and more makes the Apple Watch highly coveted.
