On Monday Apple revealed more details about its smartwatch, the Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch will debut two different watch sizes in three distinct styles: the Apple Watch, the Apple Watch Sport, and the Apple Watch Edition.

Preorders begin April 10 and the Apple Watch launches officially on April 24. 

You’ll only be able to use the Apple Watch with iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, and iPhone 5S.

 

 

Here it is: the Apple Watch.

Tim Cook says the Apple Watch provides 'new, intimate ways to connect and communicate' from your wrist.

The Apple watch comes in two sizes: 38mm and 42mm.

The Apple Watch Sport comes in 10 models. Apple Watch Sport has an aluminium casing.

Now, let's take a look at how the Apple Watch works. The main piece of functionality on Apple Watch comes from the crown. Cook calls it a 'digital crown,' and it's used to zoom in and out or to scroll. You can press the crown to go back to the home screen.

When you raise your wrist, the display turns on.

The homescreen is a series of dots. Each dot is an app. The watch is touchscreen, so you can swipe.

The Apple Watch also has a magnetic charger.

Here's a better view.

Apple will let you customise your Apple Watch.

They come in different colours, too.

...And stainless steel straps.

It has a sleek design.

The Apple Watch has customisable information within it, like weather, a calendar, and other widgets.

Of course, you can play music on your Apple Watch too.

The Apple Watch has a 'taptic engine,' a vibration the watch sends to your wrist when you get notifications.

You can customise Apple Watch with the people you communicate with frequently. Their names and faces will appear in bubbles.

When you get a notification, you raise your wrist to see it and then swipe up to respond. Apple has predictive responses for you too.

Apple notifies you of events...

Texts...

...And calls, too.

Apple Watch has custom emoji.

Siri is built into Apple Watch.

You can see all your photos too.

Just zoom in to see each individually, and swipe through.

There's an Apple Maps app too. You can zoom in with the crown.

Apple Watch's 'digital touch' app lets you communicate with friends and talk with little drawings.

The heartbeat feature uses a built-in pulse sensor to send your heartbeat to a friend or loved one.

The walkie-talkie function uses a microphone and built-in speaker to let you talk to your friends without calling them.

There are two health apps, called Fitness and Workout. They track your heartbeat, and count calories, distance, and duration.

The Workout app sets goals for you that are based on your workout history.

During your workout, the app sends encouraging reminders to keep you moving.

You can also unlock achievements in the Workout and Activity apps when you reach a personal best.

This is the heart rate sensor on the back of the Apple Watch.

You can use Apple's new mobile payment system, Apple Pay, to make on-the-go payments.

You can navigate Apple TV and control the iTunes library on your computer from your Apple Watch.

Glances is a new feature on Apple Watch. You can swipe up on your watchface to see news, sports scores, and more.

You can store loyalty cards and boarding passes in Passbook on your Apple Watch.

Apple Watch's remote camera can display a live preview of what your iPhone camera sees. It can also take the photo or set the timer on the camera.
