Apple is finally hopping on board the high-tech watch train, but to be honest, the product isn’t all that impressive. Once again, Apple is the last one to the party in terms of innovation, and you’d think how long it took them, it’d be a little more impressive. So, with that being said, we’ve done a bit of research on Apple’s latest product and we’re going to share some of those fun facts with you.
Facts About the Apple Watch
-
2.5 Hour Battery Life
It only has 2.5 hours of battery life. That’s right Apple users, this watch will only give you two and a half hours of active use. So, if you invest in this new watch, you’ll need to charge it every night along with your phone and all your other gadgets. If only Apple could figure out how Nokia did it and make a longer lasting battery, because theirs lasts for an entire month.
-
Needs More Publicity
Only seven percent of Apple users said they’d CONSIDER buying the watch. That’s not too impressive of a statistic to look at. However, there isn’t a lot that’s known about the Apple Watch so, maybe overtime more customers will gain interest.
-
Not Practical
According to 9to5mac, “The watch should be able to display its clock face for approximately three hours, including watch ticking animations, if nothing else is done with the device.”
-
Apple Hasn’t Announced Changes, Yet
Apple was actually concerned with the battery life. If they’re not concerned about it now, but they “were” then it must have been pretty bad when they first started the design. Apple actually pushed the release date because the battery life was such a concern, but they have about 3,000 currently circulating as test watches.
-
Sleep Mode can Help
If you have mixed usage (sleep mode and active mode used equally), you should get about 19 hours worth of use out of the watch.
If you’re interested in investing in an Apple Watch, you should start seeing them in the stores sometime in March. The “Sport” watch will go for about $349, and again, that’s according to 9to5mac. The watch will also be able to function alongside your iPhone by using a companion application, but that’s if you’ve updated to iOS 8. While it could sound slightly more impressive, we’re still pretty excited about the Apple Watch and we’re definitely eager to get our hands on one to see what it’s all about.
