SlideShow: Apple Watch

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

The Apple Watch was 2014's most awaited product and Apple's newest product category since the iPad and it doesn't dissapoint in terms of looks and expected functionality.

Luxury design and finish, a whole new user interface unlike anything we've seen before, a sweet Digital Crown interface, new Watch OS, sapphire crystal, health tracking sensors and various new uses for emojis, NFC, walkie-talkie functionality and let's not forget Apple Pay. Here are my favourite photos of Apple Watch from the Apple Event.

Android Wear devices getting 4.4W1 over the air update

Android Wear device users should expect a minor although expected over the air software update. The 4.4W1 update coming to the Moto 360, LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live brings a range of features and functionality. What we know of so far are the latest version of Google Maps with alternate destinations, built-in controls for multiple repeating alarms. This isn't yet the bigger expected update to Android Wear which Google says will enable users to, ".... listen to music stored on your watch via Bluetooth headphones. And if your watch includes a GPS sensor, you can track your distance and speed too."

Apple Watch will need to be recharged nightly, will also work for left handed users

We're learning a few more things about the Apple Watch. As it stands right now the watch will need to be recharged each evening which means it will yield around a day of use on a single charge, which is in line with most wearable devices sporting high res screens and multiple sensors. This might change as we get closer to the device's shipping date in 2015.

We also learned today that, unlike traditional analog wristwatches and many wearables out there, the Apple Watch can be oriented to right-handed or left-handed users. This is determined when you set the device up the first time. Since the straps of the Apple Watch are super easy to change (no tools needed), you can orient the device however you wish. 

Apple Watch will also have around 8GB of storage and can play back music via Bluetooth to a headset even without an iPhone present.
