Social, Health, Convenience on your Wrist: AppleWatch

Apple seems to know how to make products appealing to certain customers.  Yet, using Christy Turlington is reported to cost Apple $17 Billion.

From Adafruit blog:

Today’s Apple Watch launch was the most highly-anticipated wearable tech event of the last year. So what’s there to know?

The device is being offered in three “collections” — basic configurations and materials to start out: Apple Watch Sport (aluminum starting at $349), Apple Watch (stainless steel starting at $549), and Apple Watch Edition (gold starting at $10K).

You can use Apple Pay for cashless payment at any of the 700K retail stores that currently accept Apple Pay.
Health apps with Apple Watch guide your workout as well as remind you to stand if you’ve been sitting for too long.

Similar to Android Wear, you can take/dismiss calls, send voice-transcribed text messages, see notifications from apps like Uber and Instagram, and display your next boarding pass. Browse and install apps from the Apple Watch section of the iOS App Store.
