A Model for Everyone

Apple Watch, which is Apple’s first device that was designed to be worn, is created to cater to different styles and tastes. This is why it comes in different sizes, which have 38mm and 42mm rectangular casing.

The regular model of this wearable device comes with a stainless steel case available in polished silver or shiny space black. The display of the Apple Watch model comes with a sapphire crystal protective layer and a range of sleek bands, including stainless steel link, Milanese loop bracelet and sport band.

The choice of band and case size will determine price, which is expected to range from $549 to $1099.

Apple Watch Sport

This model shares a degree of semblance to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in terms of look and display protection material. Apple Watch Sport, the most pocket-friendly of all the three models, comes in anodized aluminium cases of space gray or silver with its display protected by strengthened Ion-X glass.
