They have replaced Rolex and Tag Heuer. Everyone from a first-time Apple user to a multi-billionaire wears them. They seem to have become the de-facto choice of everyone around the world when it comes to smartwatches and watches in general to a large extent. I truly believe there is nothing like it in the market. Its design, crown and features are so iconic that they are hard to ignore. Everyone with an iPhone wants to get one and it's often the very next Apple purchase after the iPhone. The integration of the watch with the phone is breathtaking.

You will never miss a text or a call. The interface is trouble-free and never lags. The vibration motor is strong and wearing Apple Watch to bed is also a thing nowadays as it doubles up as a good wake-up clock. It works well as a navigation device .You can simply input the destination and the watch will guide you in real-time. It is actually tremendously useful as your hands are always on the steering wheel and you won't have to look down to see the directions.

The workout features of the Apple Watch are definitely one of its best highlights. Apple gives them a prominent position when developing the next WatchOS or Watch. It is talked about a lot in keynotes and events. They are certainly very useful and accurate. The wide variety of available workouts ensures that you will find the one that best reflects your needs. Apple targets its sports-centric customers by selling Nike versions of the Apple Watch that have special workouts and built-in Nike apps that are exclusive to those versions. The bands and wallpapers are also different from the normal watch's.

It is factual to say that Apple Watch has actually devastated the business of watchmakers. Smartwatches are now always preferred over traditional ones because of the added functionality. At the same time, Apple also wanted to attract extremely wealthy customers - the sort who have never worn anything cheaper than a Tag Heuer - they did this by partnering with Hermes (a French luxury brand) to create high-quality expensive leather straps and watches with stainless steel casing. It is certainly doing a good job.

The Apple Watch also has very distinct features which set it apart from other watches - ECG, blood oxygen, emergency calling, sleep tracking, altimeter and its best-in-class workout features. The straps are comfortable and breathable. They come in a plethora of colors so you can always customize the watch according to your taste that suits your personality.

The rise of the Apple Watch also means that there is a lot of potential for other local and global players. We all know that local players try to make their products look like Apple's because that is what moves units. And yes, you can grumble about Apple Watch not having a round face but it is just to protect the identity and original aesthetic of the watch so that it's easily identifiable from a million miles away.
