The Latest in Wearable Tech - Think of the Apple Watch as the combination of a cutting-edge timepiece, laptop, cellphone, MP3 player, fitness tracker and just about every other device you have laying around, all in one sophisticated design. First thing to know: it works in conjunction with an iPhone, so you will need an iPhone 5 or later to use it. (Photo: Apple)

Divine Design - The Apple Watch comes in three collections: Apple Watch Sport ($349 and $399); Apple Watch ($549-$1,099); and Apple Watch Edition (above), which is crafted from custom rose or yellow 18-karat gold alloys, with prices starting at $10,000. Yep, you read that right.  (Photo: Apple)

Durable and Innovative - The Apple Watch is available in two different sizes, 38mm and 42mm, and is constructed in polished stainless steel and black stainless steel cases (or 18k gold, as shown above).

Wrist Game Strong - The fashion community has been buzzing about the device since Apple previewed it at a one-day pop-up shop during Paris Fashion Week last fall, so of course, the tech brand is giving you plenty of options for customization. Wristband styles include two stainless steel versions (Milanese loop with magnetic closure, above, and link style), three leather options and a durable plastic sports band. (Photo: Apple)

App-Tacular - The Apple Watch has been dubbed the tech giant’s most personal device yet, thanks to a slew of apps developed specifically for the device. The groundbreaking Activity App actually learns your physical activity patterns and suggests daily activity goals, even monitoring how often you’ve stood up to take a break after sitting during the day. Making payments via Apple Pay, ordering and tracking your Uber car, controlling your thermostat away from home, and posting pics to Twitter and Instagram are just a few of the announced apps at your fingertips.

New Technologies  - Among the new technologies you’ll find is the Digital Crown, “an innovative way to scroll, zoom and navigate fluidly without obstructing the display,” according to the brand. Here are some other notable features: the Retina display can sense the difference between a tap and a press to help you quickly access the controls you want, and the all-new Taptic Engine “discreetly delivers a gentle tap on your wrist whenever you receive a notification or message.”   (Photo: Apple)

Must Try-Features - You can answer calls to your iPhone, send messages, check email, and use Siri with your Apple Watch, among other features. There’s also Digital Touch, which allows you to send anything from a sketch to a tap or even the rhythm of your own heartbeat to other Apple Watch users. (Photo: Apple)

Staying Connected - Remember when we said that you need an iPhone to use the Apple Watch? Well, that’s still true. You need an iPhone to connect your Apple Watch to the Internet, so without your phone (or a stable Internet connection), many of the apps and features won’t work. The Apple Watch itself connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth.  (Photo: Apple)

A Few Considerations - Since your Apple Watch connects to your iPhone, using battery-zapping features like video and maps will put a strain on your iPhone battery, so it's a good idea to pack a charger as a backup. In addition, the Apple Watch doesn’t have GPS, so you fitness buffs will still need to rely on your iPhone during those long-distance runs. (Photo: Apple)
