Well, Apple has officially announced the Apple Watch and when it’ll be available to the public. As an advid Apple watcher since 2006, I have gone through all of the tech specs, and the fluff, and have come up with comprehensive information on what you need to know before purchasing one.

If you’re like me, you’ll want to know the price even before looking over the features.

Apple Watch:
$349.00

Apple Watch Sport
$449.00

Apple Watch Edition
$10,000 (no, not a misprint!)

Now that you’ve had your heart attack over the last price, lets move on.

The Apple Watch is supposed to work with the iPhone, period. You cannot use one’s Android phone and expect it to function and interact with the watch.

Unless you are a fitness buff (like I am not) then the Apple Watch may not be as useful to you. Sure, you can get other apps for it, and pay for your Starbucks coffee on the run, being able to answer your iPhone from another room – looking like Dick Tracy did way back when, but other then that, it’ll be a glorified piece of Apple hardware on one’s wrist that will let everyone know that “Yes, he or she are geeks, and will buy anything from Apple!”

What the watch will not do:

* Make your coffee (unless someone knows something about the $10,000 one that I don’t).
* Make calls.
* Listen to one’s voice mail.
* Be able to run games as good as on the iPhone / iPad.

Oh, by the way, if you’re one of the few geeks that are considering buying the $10,000 one, I hope you also hire the Secret Service to shadow you every time you go out.

In closing, the Apple Watch is nothing more then a way for Apple to get into the failing smart watch market. Which is why I am going to be on the computer getting one when it becomes available in April. 🙂
