A lot more is riding on the arrival of the Apple Watch than how you’ll use it to check your incoming text messages. The Apple Watch is the first truly new product from Apple since Steve Jobs died. Millions of people have been asking since then, “Can Apple still make hits without Jobs?”

We’re about to find out.


Three new strategies
The Apple watch is many things. It’s a timepiece, a fitness tracker, and a compact billboard for incoming messages, mail, and phone calls. If you have the right credit card and you’re at the right kind of shop, you can pay for things by waving your wrist with it. It runs very, very tiny apps and game

And, of course, it sells iPhones. You can’t use an Apple Watch without an iPhone, just as you can’t use an Android Wear smartwatch without an Android phone.

Once you get to know the watch, you realize that Apple carefully observed its rivals’ failures and adjusted its product accordingly. Three things about the Apple Watch are very different:

* It descends from watches. Apple has put as much effort into the style of this device as the electronics. (That’s definitely not true of many Android Wear watches. Wearing some of them is like sporting a VCR on your wrist.)

The Apple Watch is available in three models — all identical except for the metal that forms the case. There’s aluminum alloy (Apple Sport, $350 and up); stainless steel(Apple Watch, $550 and up); and hardened 18K gold (Apple Watch Edition, $10,000and up).

(Did a word get lost in that name? Apple Watch what Edition? Gold Edition? Pricey Edition? Sucker Edition?)

Each comes in two sizes, referred to by jeweler-standard measurements, 38mm and 42mm (1.5 inches and 1.65 inches diagonal); the 42mm size is usually $50 more.


The Apple Watch is much smaller, sleeker, and more beautiful than any other smartwatch. Small is so important. It’s the difference between wearing jewelry and strapping on a little phone.

The front glass of the two higher-end models is made of sapphire, which Apple identifies as the second-hardest material on earth, second only to diamond. (Apple probably played with using diamond, but figured a $100,000 watch would be pushing it.)

For each model, furthermore, you have a choice of six watchband styles, made of plastic, leather, or metal. Some offer a choice of color. Some are technological marvels. Some cost more than the watches themselves, like the $450 Link Bracelet.


What was Apple thinking with these breath-catchingly high prices? Is it hoping to depict these as exclusive, rarefied, aspirational products? By offering a $10,000 model, is it hoping to make the $350 and $550 watches look like bargains?

In any case, the watch and its bands are bristling with Apple-esque innovation. You can detach a band, to swap in a new one, just by pressing a button on the underside of the watch. Some of the bands have powerful magnets instead of a buckle or a clasp, which makes slipping the watch on and off delightfully easy.
