The world of w it's something to look at closely. starting with bracelets and smart watches, today it is possible to find (in the United States) even a jacket that gives you directions in traffic, play music and, why not, charge your cell phone. 4m652c

The big question, however, has always been: Will these technologies catch on? and people will wear smart body accessories?

Apple arrived a few years later in the smartwatches than its competitors – and not because Apple was late, but the other companies did not want to be taken by surprise as in the case of the first iPhone in 2007.

O Apple Watch was introduced in 2014 and only released in April 2015. With almost three years of life, the company has already presented the original model, then the Series 1 and 2 and, in September 2017, the brand new Series 3 with GPS and a version also with 4G connection.

Costing around R$2.500, could the public be convinced that a wearable worth it? And that it necessarily needs to be from Apple?

O Apple Watch doesn't have a conventional clock face. The company's bet is on a square-rounded look. With one 38mm or 42mm OLED screen, the watch is not made for long interactions, just for glances, or glances, as they called it in English.

The Watch is always with the screen off and only when you lift your wrist (or tap the display) you can see the time and received notifications.

The company's greatest asset is in the bracelets that transform an aluminum box into an object fashion with countless customization possibilities, even more so when the wants to match the CASE​ iPhone.

But is it just for the beauty that s choose this product? One thing is right, the Apple Watch is not intuitive at first. Unlike the iPhone or a notebook where people just know what to do, the watch is different.

It has finger interactions on the screen, whether swiping, hard pressing or tapping, as well as rotating and pressing the digital crown and also pressing the side button.

Getting used to the clock takes a while, although it is already more intuitive and advanced in its version 4 of the operating system.

Another point that helps the to get used to the Apple Watch is the new W2 processor, exclusive to Apple, which leaves the Series 3 model 70% faster than the previous version, so a wrong tightening can be worked around more easily.

Is it worth buying an apple watch in 2018?

Starting to answer the question whether it's worth buying an Apple Watch, this was one of the big questions I had: but if I don't exercise, is the watch still useful? Yes, he is.

First, let's look at the good part: the watch is more than essential for those who like to exercise, swim and do sports. Water resistant, sweat resistant and with a range of recognized exercises, the watch gives you a lot of information about your body, such as heart rate, and also an overview of calories spent, which is pretty cool.

Even for the sedentary, the clock is an incentive. That's because he gives you a minimum of daily tasks, such as burning 460 calories, exercising for 30 minutes, and standing for 12 hours. By carrying out these challenges, you earn badges and the intention is that you motivate yourself with them to go even further. After all, who doesn't want to be a master? Pokémon?

Jokes aside, even if you don't exercise, the watch is useful for bring notifications right to your wrist and, over time, it is possible to know if you have just completed a goal, if it was the iMessage that rang or a standard notification. Nothing better than, in a meeting or in traffic, being able to give a discreet look on the watch to see what's happening on your iPhone.

Another very positive point of the watch is its battery. It is possible to stay two days with him away from the outlet and, if you like to take risks, you can almost complete the third day. With me, the Watch spends on 35% average in 24 hours, a very satisfactory number. Apple talks about 18 hours of autonomy.

It is worth mentioning that the 4G version is not available in Brazil, which means that neither stainless steel nor ceramic models are available in 2018 in the country. With the 4G connection, the watch brings the first major revolution: leaving the house without the iPhone and still knowing everything that is happening with the cell phone and being able to make calls and exchange messages.

Like everything else in this life, it's a big one of "it depends". First, you need an iPhone to take advantage of all the new smartwatches and second, it costs the price of a smartphone (not necessarily an iPhone).

By BRL 2.599 for the 38 mm version and BRL 2.849 for the 42 mm model, it is not the cheapest investment to make.

One option is to choose Series 1, which starts at R$1.999. The big issue is that you lose out on processing, water resistance, and some other sensors.

when talking about Apple Watch Series 3, there is no doubt: it is an excellent watch, it is possible to customize both the do what as much as the bracelets and works just as you'd expect (it's even the first Apple Watch that Siri responds back to, thanks to the new W2 processor).

If you don't exercise, either version is fine, but if you care about the tech side, the 3 is obviously the choice.

Another thing to keep an eye out for is: Apple has been using the same design for three years now., which means a big change could come later this year. With this, it is likely that the bracelets will lose compatibility and that the watch will be further away from its successor, since visually the original Watch is the same as the Series 3.

These are all important issues that you need to consider. Are you about to change your iPhone? So leave the Watch for next year. Have you switched iPhones? How about Apple's new smartwatch?

Soon we will bring you a Full review of the new Apple Watch Series 3.
