Apple Watch models

The Apple Watch was released in spring 2015. This smartwatch enabled users to sync iPhone data to the watch and leverage the watch as a way to interact with the iPhone and as a singular device. The Apple Watch enables users to answer calls, send and respond to SMS, iMessage, and e-mail, access third-party applications, use Apple maps, and more. The Apple Watch can only be paired with an iPhone capable of running iOS 8.2 or later, not an iPad. The first release of Watch OS required the watch be within Bluetooth range of the iPhone for full functionality, but Watch OS 2.X allows the watch to function independently on Wi-Fi. The Apple Watch 2 is expected to be released in late 2016.

Apple released Watch OS2 in September 2015; it offered more features, repaired bugs, and enabled the watch to function without an iPhone.
