The APPLE WATCH
MICKEY MOUSE APPLE WATCH
Apple Watch is now on sale with the first pre-orders arriving on Friday, April 24 - you can set your friend's inferior Android Wear smartwatch to that release date.
However, some Apple Watch colors are already sold out for day one, back as far as August. This means we have plenty of time to tell you every detail about what's been hiding up Tim Cook's sleeve.
It's an iPhone-compatible smartwatch officially dubbed Apple Watch, shedding the fabled iWatch moniker, as the company focuses on its first chic wearable over geeky tech.
To that lavish point, the Apple Watch price ranges from $349 (£299, AU$499) for the entry-level Sport model to $17,000 (£13,500, AU$24,000) for the top-tier 18-karat gold editions.
Apple is requiring appointments to try on the smartwatch and make an in-store purchase, so reserve a time in advance. This should eliminate sleep-deprived diehards who camp out for new Apple products.
It'll be available in nine countries: US, UK, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Japan. More countries get the Apple Watch at later date. Tim Cook promised.
In two weeks time, our Apple Watch vs Android Wear comparison can really get underway. Apple would certainly be winning if hype-building video tours were part of this best smartwatch debate.
Apple Watch price
We finally have an answer to the question: "How much will the Apple Watch cost?" The answer: More than we were hoping to pay in some cases.
Only the aluminum Sport edition "starts at $349 (£299)" and that's for the smaller 38mm version. The 42mm size is slightly more at $399 (£339).
The shinier stainless steel "Watch" collection starts at $549 (£479) and goes up to to $1099 (£949), depending on the Apple Watch size and band configuration.
Apple employees get the Apple Watch Sport and stainless steel Watch at half price. The gold Apple Watch Edition costs a fortune still, even with a minor employee discount.
The Watch Edition is price ranges from $10,000 (£8,000) to $17,000 (£13,500, AU$24,000) and will be in limited supply at select Apple Stores. It does come with fancy
VIP treatment and a charger stand.
More designs may arrive with
Apple Watch 2 in a year or so. Many critics holding out hope it will include a round watch face and significantly cheaper price to compete with an inevitable
Moto 360 2.0.
