Since it was first revealed almost a year ago, Apple Watch
is widely seen as one of smartwatches with the best design today. Interestingly,
Tim Cook and his team apparently invite a leading figure of fashion world to
design the Apple Watch. Not a design maestro, but the super-luxury brand from
France, Hermes. Yes, starts from 5 October, consumers can buy Apple Watch Hermes in a number of retail stores and selected department stores in several
countries.
Apple Watch Hermes line consists of three models: Single
Tour (38 mm and 42 mm), Double Tour (38 mm) and Cuff (42 mm). The three
smartwatches combine luxurious leather materials with stainless steel cases,
and are equipped with three special watch faces that are inspired by a row of
Hermes watches.
The luxury that's offered by Apple Watch Hermes clearly
gives an impact to the price. Apple set different price for each variant: $ 1,100
for Single Tour, $ 1,250 for Double Tour and $ 1,500 for Cuff. It's possible
that in the future Apple and Hermes will continue their collaboration for the
Apple Watch Edition, which is the most expensive model of Apple's smartwatches.
At the same time, Apple apparently also presents two new
looks for Apple Watch Sport: Gold and Rose Gold. Of course it won't be complete
without a new strap color variation, Apple Watch now also comes in (PRODUCT)
RED variant that's packing stainless steel case. You can see the Apple Watch
line through its official website, apple.com/watch/gallery.
We have talked about the hardware; now let's talk about the
software. The watchOS 2 update that's announced at WWDC 2015 event will be
immediately available to all users starting on 16 September, along with the IOS
9.
Just a reminder, watchOS 2 brings a number of features that
has been awaited by the Apple Watch users. One of them is the Native app
support, where the Apple Watch performance can be increased drastically because
it doesn't need the 'help' of iPhone to run an application. Another new feature
is the Time Travel feature which allows users to monitor the agenda simply by
rotating the Digital Crown.
