Chúng tôi đã thấy rất nhiều thiết bị theo dõi thể dục trong những năm qua, và họ thường đánh chúng tôi là khá công thức: dây đeo tay bằng nhựa dẻo với chút hấp dẫn thời trang. Một thương hiệu theo dõi hoạt động đã cố gắng thuyết phục chúng tôi rằng trình theo dõi hoạt động của họ được thiết kế để thu hút một phụ nữ có ý thức về thời trang; họ thậm chí còn nghĩ rằng phụ nữ sẽ đeo nó quanh cổ như một chiếc vòng cổ. Nhưng cuối cùng, đó không phải là đồ trang sức. Không có thiết bị theo dõi thể dục nào trên thị trường.
Đó là một câu chuyện tương tự với đồng hồ thông minh. Chắc chắn, trong năm qua, chúng ngày càng trở nên phổ biến hơn với những người đang tìm kiếm thiết bị công nghệ mới nhất, nhưng chúng không hấp dẫn tất cả mọi người. Một vấn đề chính là hầu hết các đồng hồ thông minh được thiết kế cho nam giới. Họ sẽ không ngồi thoải mái trên cổ tay nhỏ hơn.
Apple Watch review: Dimensions
There are two sizes of watch: the 38mm model (which actually measures 38.6 by 33.3 mm) and the 42mm model (which measures 42 by 35.9 mm). Both have a thickness of 10.5mm.
- Mẫu 38mm: 38,6 x 33,3 x 10,5mm
- Kiểu 42mm: 42,0 x 35,9 x 10,5mm
Đây là cách Apple Watch 38mm trông như thế nào trên cổ tay của Karen:
Đánh giá Apple Watch: Chất lượng bản dựng
Nói về chất liệu đồng hồ được làm từ, có ba tùy chọn: nhôm cho Watch Sport, thép không gỉ cho Watch và vàng 18 carat cho Watch Edition. Phiên bản Watch và Watch đi kèm với màn hình sapphire, phiên bản Sport có kính ion-x.

Chúng tôi thích giao diện của Apple Watch. Như chúng tôi đã đề cập ở trên, nó trông giống như một phiên bản thu nhỏ của iPhone gốc và nó rất chắc chắn – sau gần một năm sử dụng Đồng hồ, không có vết xước trên thân hoặc màn hình, mặc dù hai chiếc Sport Band của chúng tôi sáng hơn. dây đai bắt đầu trông hơi thô ráp.
Apple không khuyên bạn nên ngâm Apple Watch thế hệ đầu tiên của bạn trong nước. Mặc dù đồng hồ được đánh giá là có khả năng chống nước theo tiêu chuẩn IPX7, có nghĩa là nó sẽ tồn tại trong nước ở độ sâu 1 mét trong tối đa 30 phút, Apple mô tả nó là “chống nước và chống nước nhưng không chống thấm nước” . Vì vậy, bạn có thể sử dụng nó khi tắm – như CEO Tim Cook của Apple dường như đã làm – nhưng nó không được phép mang đi bơi.
Phải nói rằng, rất nhiều người đánh giá liều lĩnh đã làm chính xác điều đó và chúng tôi chưa nghe thấy ai phàn nàn rằng đồng hồ của họ đã bị hư hỏng bởi kinh nghiệm. Chúng tôi không khuyên bạn nên mạo hiểm và rõ ràng bạn sẽ không có chỗ đứng với Apple nếu xảy ra sự cố vì họ đã cẩn thận chỉ tuyên bố rằng nó có khả năng chống nước . Nhưng có vẻ như có, Apple Watch không thấm nước.

Apple Watch review: Screen
While doing our best to extend the watch’s battery life, we wanted to force-quit some apps and found the method of doing so deeply counterintuitive.
Returning to the screen, the resolution depends on the watch you choose. The resolution of the screen on the 38mm Apple Watch (which measures 1.32 inches diagonally) is 272×340 while the 42mm model offers 312×390 on a screen that measures 1.5 inches. Both models, therefore, offer a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch, or ppi.
In both cases, the Apple Watch screen is officially rated (or perhaps we should say branded) as Retina-quality, and our subjective experience with it has been great. It’s sharp and vividly colourful and we’ve yet to notice any pixellation.
The touchscreen aspects work terrifically too: it’s highly responsive, and we found we tend to fall back on old habits, swiping through screens whenever possible by using the touchscreen even if a scrolling option is available via the Digital Crown. It ought to be as easy to quit apps and glances as it is on the iPhone – but it isn’t. To quit an app you have to press and hold the side button, and then do the same again. Nobody is going to stumble on that by accident.
Apple Watch review: User interface
Apple’s design expertise is only a small part of what makes the Apple Watch stand out. Another factor in its favour is the user interface. The problem many current smartwatches have is that the UI is packed onto a tiny display and you need to manipulate those tiny visual elements using your fingers, which are inevitably bigger than the elements you’re trying to touch.
Below we examine Apple’s method for controlling the user interface, and the software you can expect to see on the Apple Watch.
Apple Watch review: Using the Apple Watch screen
One way to use the Watch is via the screen. You can scroll around the screen, tap on items to select them or press harder to get more options – akin to using right click on a mouse. Various gestures bring up other elements of the operating system. For example, Glances are accessed by swiping up on the watch face.
There’s also Apple’s Force Touch technology that determines how hard you are pressing the Watch and will act accordingly. There is a difference between a hard press and a simple tap. (We discuss Force Touch in more detail below.)
Apple Watch review: Speed/performance
One possible weakness of the Apple Watch – depending on how demanding your standards are when it comes to wearable tech – could be its all-around speed. Numerous reviewers have found the interface sluggish in use and noticed a delay before certain actions.
Update 8 September 2016: It should be noted that the below section is based on the original watch and not the Series 1 or 2 which feature a 50 percent faster processor.
As with many aspects of this product, experiences have varied among the team, and it’s likely that day-to-day performance is influenced by factors such as apps and Glances currently running. It’s rare to find an app that’s near-instantaneous to respond, as they’ll open quickly but will often hang, leaving us staring at a black loading screen; and syncing processes with the iPhone, over a Bluetooth connection, can be sluggish.
We’ve also found, as have many users, that third-party apps can sometimes be slow to start up. watchOS 2 looked to speed up third-party apps by allowing them to run natively on the Apple watch, but as we mention in our watchOS 2 section of the review below, we still find apps pretty sluggish and we often give up and end up using our iPhone apps instead.
Apple Watch review: Using the Digital Crown
Apple’s solution to the navigation problem is to use something that has always been a feature of watches in a new way.
The dial on the side of the watch – its proper name is the crown – has been brought into the 21st century and turned into what Apple calls the Digital Crown. This Digital Crown solves the problem of swiping through icons on a minuscule display.
Below the Digital Crown is another button. This button takes you to the home screen and to the Friends app, from which you can contact your friends (more on that below). This button is also used when you’re paying for things using Apple Pay (more on that below, also).
Apple Watch review: Battery life
Apple claims that on a typical day, with typical usage, you should get 18 hours of battery life from the Apple Watch. In other words, you ought to be able to get through a whole day, but that will be about it: expect to charge it every night. (Which, incidentally, rules out being able to sleep with the watch on – which is likely to be a disappointment to developers of sleep-related apps.)
In fact, your use may vary. Apple’s ‘typical day’ included a half-hour workout, but if you exercise more than that you may use up the battery quicker – in Apple’s tests, the battery lasted 6.5 hours during a workout (so you should at least be able to run that marathon without running out of battery). If you use the Apple Watch to play music you will also find that to be a bit of a battery hog. Apple got 6.5 hours of audio playback out of the test device before it ran out of power.
Apple Watch review: Apple Watch UK price
Pricing varies depending on the watch and strap you choose. For more information about Watch prices, read our Apple Watch buying advice.
The Apple Watch price starts at £259 in the UK; that’s for the 38mm Apple Watch Sport with a plastic band, and £299 for the 42mm version. The stainless steel Apple Watch starts at £479 and the newer Apple Watch Hermes starts at £1000, while the 18-carat gold Apple Watch Edition starts at an eye-watering £8,000.
OUR VERDICT
The Apple Watch isn’t the first ever smartwatch, and it doesn’t really do anything rival products don’t do. But what it does do, it does as well as any smartwatch out there, thanks to Apple’s user interface expertise. It’s a slick device to use, although you should be warned that it isn’t completely intuitive, particularly at first. With use it will become more familiar and user-friendly.
