Apple Watch

The book I read to research this post was Apple Watch 101 The Complete Guide by Ryan Tracy which is a very good book that I downloaded for free from kindle. The apple watch comes in 2 sizes 38 mm and 42 mm and is priced from $ 349 up to a rather huge $ 18,000. To get the most out of it you need to use it in conjunction with an iPhone. You can make calls on it for example but it drains the battery rather. The battery life between charges is rated at 18 hours but this depends on how you use it. The operating system is called watch iOS. Initially it will have around 1,000 apps available with some of the more mainstream ones like Facebook and Instagram incuded on the watch. It has a rotating bezel to select stuff and a button to actually select and turn it on or off. You hold the button until it turns off to turn it off. It has various health features like monitoring calories used and heart beat many of which were available on the iPhone with various apps. It includes versions of iTunes and Siri. There isn’t an inbuilt GPS app but these are available to download. You can store uprto 8 credit cards in a secure payment system so you can pay for stuff without having to print your details each time. This book is around 20 pages so is quite short. It’s an enjoyable read and I do recommend it.
