Watch set to be another Apple winner

As computerised wristwatches go, the Apple Watch looks impressive. I like that it will come in two sizes, so the watch won’t feel giant on smaller hands, as some competing watches do.

I also like that Apple will offer a variety of straps and materials, so fitness fanatics can get a strap that’s stronger and sweat-proof, while those seeking a fashion accessory can opt for an 18-karat gold edition.

Beyond looks, it’s great that the Apple Watch isn’t simply adopting the smartphone way of doing things. The operating system, Watch OS, was designed specifically for the watch, and its interface relies heavily on the dial to the right, known as the digital crown. Competing watches tend to emphasise the voice and touch controls found on phones.
