The value of a wristwatch is typically defined by its materials, design, features and brand. For the new Apple Watch, all those factors will apply, but so will something else: apps.

Apple on Monday held a media event to explain how its long-awaited Apple Watch works and how much it costs. Just as important, it also demonstrated what the watch was capable of doing with apps made by other companies.

Unlike the Iphone or Ipad, the apple watch is not a stand alone device.  You need to have an Iphone that you can pair with the watch in order for it to work.  This also allows you to download apps from you Iphone app store, and you can use them on the watch.  

Unlike past Apple products, the Apple Watch has a complex pricing structure. Because a smart watch is both device and fashion accessory, Apple designed the watch to be highly customization to suit the tastes of various users, from fitness buffs to collectors of luxury watches.  The cheapest version of the watch, Watch Sport designed for athletes is prices around $350.   The larger Watch Sport is prices around $400.  The next step up is the Apple Watch, which is more fashionable with stainless steel case.  The smaller version is priced around $550 to $1040 and the larger one costs $600 to $1100.  The price range depends on the band.  The golden edition prices for this high-end version starts $10,000.  


The apple watch is hitting the stores sometime next month, and will be a huge success just like any other apple product.
