dgstorm · Mar 17, 2015

Despite Apple's wonderful presentation of the Apple Watch in both of their events, there are still a few questions left unanswered. We thought it might be useful to share the answer to some of those questions. Here are a few important details regarding Apple's newest must-have gadget:

Official name of the OS for the Apple Watch is Watch OS
There will be multiple pre-loaded watch faces of different styles, and these will be customizable with millions of possibilities for personalization
Despite this, downloadable watch faces will NOT be available at first
The 38mm sized Apple Watch case will have a display of 272 by 340 pixels
The 42mm sized Apple Watch case will have a display of 312 by 390 pixels
All Apple Watch bands will be interchangeable - that means if you want to mix and match metal or rubber watch bands from one Apple Watch version to another you will be able to do that
Additional watch bands will be made available from Apple's store for purchase at various prices
The display will NOT have an always on mode (this is in order to save battery life) - lifting your wrist or tapping the screen will awaken it (the wrist movement function can be turned off)
Apple Watch includes 8GB of storage, but nearly 6GB is used by Watch OS - 2GB can store music and 75MB can store pictures
For charging, the watch uses MagSafe technology and inductive wireless charging (you just attach the magnet to the back of the watch to charge it)
Battery charging from zero to 80% or will take 1.5 or 2.5 hours to full
The charger will include a 6.5-feet (2-meter) cable which plugs into a wall charger or USB port

Sound off if you have any other questions that these tips don't answer. I am confident that someone we, or someone in the forums will be able to answer it!
