4.  Apple designed a new font named San Francisco for the Apple Watch to
help users read text on the small display.
 It has a pressure-sensitive touchscreen that can distinguish between a
tap and a press, and features a dial called a digital crown, which can be
turned to scroll or zoom and pressed to return to the home screen. The
watch also has a button for displaying a list of contacts.
 The watch is charged by means of inductive charging, using a cable
similar to the MagSafe cable for Apple's MacBook family of laptops.

5.  The Apple Watch uses Apple's new Apple S1 processor, advertised
as "an entire computer architecture on a single chip". It also uses a
linear actuator called the "Taptic Engine" to provide haptic feedback
when an alert or a notification is received.
 The watch is equipped with a built-in heart rate sensor, which uses
both infrared and visible-light LEDs and photodiodes.
 The watch is compatible with the iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, iPhone 5S,
iPhone6, and iPhone 6 Plus, running iOS 8.2 or later, connecting via
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth 4.0.

8.  Venture capitalist Marc
Andreessen:- "can't
wait" to try it.
 Steve Jobs' biographer
Walter Isaacson:-
"extremely cool" and an
example of future
technology that is
"much more embedded
into our lives“.
 Benjamin Clymer(a writer
focused on the watch
industry):- "simply blows
away anything—digital or
analog—in the watch
space at $350“; he also
suggested the watch
would not have the same
emotional connection for
wearers as traditional
watches.
