One more thing! The Apple Watch is real – with a square screen and
comes in 38mm and 42mm cases. There will be an 18 karat gold version but
more affordable stainless steel and aluminum versions will be available
too. The steel version will be called Watch Sport, the gold one will be
Watch Edition.
All will have changeable wristbands, ceramic backs and sapphire screens. Six different bands will be available at launch.
The screen will not be always-on, it activates when you lift your wrist. The Glances feature lets you can swipe through pages of information on the touchscreen (hello, Android Wear).
The touch-screen is force-sensitive and you can add custom gestures (with swipes and presses).
Alternatively, you can use the digital crown to interact with the watch, including zooming in on the maps application.
Siri will of course work with the Apple Watch. The watch won't have you typing in answers, it will recognize questions from incoming messages and offer appropriate responses. Or you could use Siri for voice dictation.
Yet another way to communicate is with emoji or quick sketches on the touchscreen.
The watch can monitor your heart rate but relies on the iPhone for GPS positioning (for when you go on a run).

Similar to Android Wear, notifications from your iOS device will just
show up on the phone. The upcoming WatchKit will allow developers to
create custom apps for the watch too.
The Apple Watch will be charged with a Magsafe wireless adapter
