The long wait from the announcement of the Apple Watch in September to actually being able to buy it will finally end in April.
Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook announced the shipping date during an earnings call. The watch is the company’s first foray into wearable technology beyond a fitness sensor made with Nike. Earlier reports had suggested it would be available a month earlier, in March.
The Apple Watch was first announced in September last year alongside two new larger iPhones, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The watch is designed to be paired with an iPhone, including older models as old as the iPhone 5. Similar to Google’s Android Wear smartwatches, the Apple Watch will not have phone capabilities, instead relying on the paired iPhone for an internet connection.
Apple described the Watch as the “most personal device we’ve ever created”, featuring a heart rate monitor and other health and fitness tracking features that feed into the company’s Health app and data sharing service.
