What is An Apple Watch

The Apple Watch is the best-selling smartwatch in the world at present. It is Apple Inc’s line of wearable smartwatch with major features like making and receiving calls, sending texts, fitness tracking, health-oriented capabilities, and integration with iOS and other Apple products and services.

Why was the Apple Watch Introduced by Apple?

Through surveys and research conducted by Apple, they found out people are fond of carrying their phones with them and tampering it so much. The question was then posed as to how human interaction with phones can be reduced. This solution to this question birthed the concept of the Apple smartwatch.

The main purpose of the Apple Watch was to free people from their phones and as well serve an accessory to to support the iPhone and add new functions.

Key functions of the Apple Watch

  • Phone notifications especially messages can be read and replied on the wrist
  • Tracking of workout routines
  • Fitness tracking (exercise minutes & calories)
  • Heart rate monitoring
  • GPS tracking of workouts
  • ECG readings (Series 4/5/6 only) and blood oxygen tracking (Series 6 only)
  • Warn about abnormal heart rates and detect falls.

How Much Does An Apple Watch Cost?

Apple watches are quite expensive but worth every penny. The latest model or series of Apple Watch which is the series 7 starts at $399 (GHC 2639.86 excl. shipping) but they other series like the Series 3 that goes for as low as $200 (GHC 1319.93 excl. shipping).

Taking into consideration the prices stated above, just a handful of people currently in Ghana’s lousy economy can outrightly purchase this fancy device. People are left with no option to settle with the replicas or what is locally termed as ‘Low Grade’.  These low grades models don’t really last and it’s user interface is below par as compared to the original versions. This assertion is my personal experience with a fake Apple smartwatch.

For anybody who fancies a genuine smartwatch but can’t afford the Apple’s and that of the Samsung’s and even the Huawei’s, i will introduce you to an equally efficient smartwatch manufactured by a company called Oraimo.
