Why You Really Need A Apple Watch

Inside the case, you can find a 205mAh (or 246mAH) Lithium-Ion battery. It promises 18 hours battery life on normal use, 6 hours of music playback or working out with the heart monitor, 3 hours of talk time and up to 48 hours of just checking time.

Software

Now, let's talk about the interface. If you swipe away, you get the watch face with glances and notifications and if you press the Digital Crown you get access to the apps. There is without a doubt a learning curve, but after a few days of using the watch, you get accustomed to the way things operate.

The usual notifications and watch faces, you get to choose one of the single screens with quick summaries of information from apps you view frequently. To access the Glances you can either swipe up on the watch face or ask Siri to open it for you, even if it's not in your active glances list.

The watch is not designed for prolonged use, it provides a better experience if used in shorter periods of time, especially because some apps are a bit not many and slow complex apps are developed (using Facebook or any other Google app on the small screen of the Apple Watch may prove undesirable in the long run).

The software that runs on the Apple Watch is called the WatchOS 2.0 (an updated version to the more laggier first generation) and in order to be fully operational, the Apple Watch requires an iPhone 5 or a later version.

Digital Touch is a unique way of messaging which works exclusively between Apple Watches and allows you to send taps, finger sketches or your heart rate.

Watch faces and glances look pretty cool on the apple Watch, but there's a lot more to it. You get the Taptic Engine, an innovative feature that actually taps you on the wrist when a notification arrives so you won't miss anything important, it can also be used when navigating, it can tap you on the wrist several times for right or left turns or you can use it along with the Digital Touch.

There's also the Apple Pay (similar to what you can find on your iPhone) which is a really great feature if you find places that accepts this type of payment. What is does it to offer the ability to purchase goods or services with a single touch of the watch on the pay terminal (two taps of the button is all it takes to summon your card)? It also works without an iPhone present.

The watch faces have a series of new options (since the new update) that lets you change the color, add new elements or remove them.

All this abundance of features and apps you get the versatile Camera remote that allows you to see a preview of your iPhone's viewfinder and even focus, set a timer or trigger the shutter.

Conclusion

The obvious conclusion is that the Apple Watch is not a must-have device, you don't really need it, but if you can afford it will make your life a little easier in some small aspects.
