Unusually high or low heart rates and irregular heart rhythms (known as arrhythmia) could be signs of a serious condition. But many people don’t recognize the symptoms, so the underlying causes often go undiagnosed. Notifications in the Heart Rate app will alert you to these irregularities, so you can take action and consult your doctor.

- Stay well-versed in your wellness.

- Developers can create or modify existing apps specifically for the Apple Watch with Watch Kit. Most of the current apps from Apple are refactored iPhone apps such as messaging -- however, some native apps have been developed specifically for the watch, including Activity, Workout and Camera Remote. Third-party apps include a social media app for Facebook and apps for airlines and hotels that allow the user to check in through the Apple Watch. Enterprise apps include Evernote, which allows users to dictate information to the watch, and Salesforce1, which delivers real-time information about customer interactions. IT can employ enterprise mobility management products to push corporate emails directly to the Apple Watch.

- The standard Apple Watch comes in two case sizes, 38mm or 42mm, with an OLED display with an ambient light sensor to combat glare. Apple offers a premium Apple Watch Edition, which features an 18-karat gold casing and an Apple Watch Sport, which features a durable rubber band and extra-strength Ion-X glass display. Apple Watch's battery lasts 18 hours during general use or 72 hours in Power Reserve mode, which shuts off everything except the clock. A round magnetic charger latches onto the underside of the watch face and uses a USB cord to attach to the same charger as an iPhone.

The biggest advantage of these watches must be their fitness and workout tracking capabilities. The Apple Watch connects directly to the iPhone and ios can give you all the data related to your workouts. It can track your heart rate, calories burned and steps are taken. It even has ECG (Electrocardiogram) function that tracks your heart’s rhythm and electrical activities.

It even tracks your distance covered, elevation changes; time elapsed, and your pace by its built-in GPS.

The workout app can be opened and 12 different exercises are shown (running, cycling, and swimming). It even has an automatic workout tracker that tracks your physical status and detects when you are beginning to work out. It then gives you a notification asking if you are ready to work out. Just choose your workout and you are good to go!


2. Fall Detector

Apple watch has a fall detector that senses whether or not you have fallen at any time of day. It works by highly accurate and sensitive accelerometers and gyroscopes to detect a hard hit and immediately asks whether you are okay or not. If not responded within 60 seconds the apple watch can send an emergency call on its own. If you are fine then you can just cancel the call by responding that you are okay.

3. Sleek Design

Apple inc. is known for being an innovative company in both the design of its product and technology. So it comes as no surprise that Apple watches have a very sleek design that can fit in any occasion you attend.

The straps are changeable with a wide variety of colors and designs. One can go for a sporty look or the more sophisticated business look. The designs of the screen and its resolution are unmatched in the industry and the graphics definitely prove that Apple is at the top of its game.

4. Calls

Apple Watch can receive and send calls on its own. The watch can be connected directly to the iPhone and the calls received on your iPhone can be redirected directly to your watch and you can answer the call on your watch itself! It does look like it has directly from a sci-fi movie scene but this is a design of the future seen today.

Apple products always come with a hefty price. The base price of the new series 5 is $399. It is available in other versions like stainless steel case is $699 and the titanium case costs $799. The brand name and its symbol of luxury are worthy enough for many people to pay the high prices of these devices.

Apple does lower the prices of older products after a new one launches. So, you may have to wait to buy them under your budget.

2. Low Battery Life

It should come with a new surprise that given the size of the watch, the battery life is quite slow. It gives 18 hours of battery performance on “all-day” use. Apple bases “all-day” life in 60- minute workout, 45 minutes of app use, 90 notifications and 90 times checks. So the battery life may fluctuate according to your use of the watch.

3. Compatible only to iPhone

Apple watches is compatible only with iPhones even though they are Bluetooth enabled. Other smartphones cannot access them. The iPhone must also set up with other services like iCloud and Apple pay for fully functioning Apple watch.

Furthermore, it can only connect to iPhone 5 or newer models. So, if you have an android or iPhones older than iPhone 5 you may have to get a new iPhone before using your watch.

4. Highly Distractive

The accessibility of the watch comes with a price that may be disturbing at the same time. It is always with you and the constant notifications and vibrations can be quite annoying at times.
