I got 'Apple Watch', so opening ceremony & haste photo review

Apple's first smart watch ' Apple Watch ' was finally released on April 24, 2015, and three Apple Watches have arrived at the editorial department of GIGAZINE, so let's open it immediately and take a closer look at the appearance I did.

Apple-Apple Watch

Open the cardboard while suppressing your motivation.

The elongated cardboard box contained a white box.

The square cardboard is also opened.

After all a pure white box appeared from the inside.

I took out all the boxes.

The elongated box contains the 'Apple Watch Sport 38mm Case' and the 'Apple Watch Sport 42mm Case'.

The 42mm case box is slightly longer than the 38mm case.

Inside the square box is the 'Apple Watch 38mm Case'.

So I will open it from the 'Apple Watch Sport 42mm case'. Peel off the film with Periperi ...

Slide the lid up quickly.

When I removed the lid, there was a plastic case inside.

When I took the case, I found a thin paper case on the bottom.

It says 'Designed by Apple in California'.

Taking the mysterious case, a magnetic charging cable and a USB power adapter came out from the bottom.

Magnetic charging cable.

USB power adapter.

Inside the thin paper case is an instruction manual with illustrations.

Finally, I will open the case that contains the Apple Watch.

When you peel off the film and open the lid ...

Face to face with the Apple Watch Sport 42mm silver aluminum case and white sports band.

There is a film on the board ...

The mounting method is described on the back side.

Peri the film.

This is the Apple Watch Sport 42mm Silver Aluminum Case and White Sport Band.

The LCD of the 42mm case is made of Ion-X glass and has a Retina display. The size is 42.0 mm in length, 35.9 mm in width, and 10.5 mm in thickness.

On the right side is a side button and a digital crown to operate your Apple Watch.

Speaker and microphone on the left side.

If you look at it from different angles, you can see that the LCD is slightly raised. The silver-aluminum case has a smooth feel, so you don't have to worry about getting fingerprints.

The joint between the case and the band looks like this, and the band can be replaced.

The back side is equipped with a heart rate sensor, GPS sensor, and acceleration sensor, making it possible to collect various data. The cover is also a ceramic cover with a sapphire lens that protects the precision sensor.

A type of rubber called fluoroelastomer is used for the band. The texture is smooth.

The fasteners are made of stainless steel.

The back of the fastener.

The Apple Watch Sport 42mm silver aluminum case and white sports band weighed 65g.

I will install it immediately.

The fastener will fit into the hole in the band with a little force.

Installation is completed by storing the excess part.

When I actually put it on my arm, the fit of the band is exquisite and I don't feel the weight so much.

In addition, since it contains a short replaceable band, it is safe for people who do not fit the size.

Next, open the 38mm case of the Apple Watch Sport.

The 38mm case is in the same plastic case as the 42mm case.

When you open the lid ...

Apple Watch Sport 38mm Silver Aluminum Case and Blue Sport Band Appearance.

The items included in the 38mm case are exactly the same as the 42mm case.

This is the Apple Watch Sport 38mm silver aluminum case and blue sports band. The light blue of the band is bright, just like a sports-type wristwatch. The main body size is 38.6 mm in length, 33.3 mm in width, and 10.5 mm in thickness.

Side buttons and digital crown on the side.

The specifications on the back side are the same as the 42mm case.

The fasteners are made of stainless steel.

It weighs 53g.

If you put the 42mm case and the 38mm case side by side, you can see that the 38mm case is one size smaller.

When actually worn on the wrist, it is lighter than the 42mm case and feels suitable for use during exercise.

I will try using the magnetic charging cable that came in the 38mm case.

The other side of the USB terminal has a round shape.

The charging method is very simple.

Bring the back of your Apple Watch closer ...

Just snap them together.

Since the magnet is strong, it will not shift even if you move it a little, so you can charge it with confidence.

Finally, open the square box.

Periperi the film.

A plastic case appears from inside.

At the bottom of the box was an instruction manual, a magnetic charging cable and a USB power adapter.

When you open the plastic box ...

What came out was the Apple Watch 38mm stainless steel case and Milanese loop.

Peel off the attached film.

The 38mm stainless steel case uses 316L stainless steel for the case and the display is made of sapphire crystal. Sapphire crystal is a high-strength material that has been

It weighs 72g.

The stainless steel case is shiny enough to reflect.

However, when I was touching it, I was worried about fingerprint marks.

If you put it side by side with the Apple Watch Sport silver aluminum case, you can see the difference in materials. The Apple Watch Sport is hard to get fingerprints, but it has less gloss, and the Apple Watch stainless steel case has a glossy and luxurious design. The buttons and sensors installed are exactly the same for all models.

The band's Milanese loop is a special machine made in Italy that weaves stainless steel and is fairly smooth to the touch.

The Milanese loop uses a magnetic fastener.

A magnet is embedded in the back of the fastener ...

It snaps into the band.

The Milanese loop has only one band.

To put it on, put your arm through the band ...

Just snap the fasteners together. It seems that usability is high because it can be adjusted infinitely with a magnet type.

When actually attached to the wrist, it is more luxurious than the Apple Watch Sport and can be matched with a suit.

I will arrange three types of purchased Apple Watch.

I tried to enjoy the luxury of not only arranging them but also installing them all.

This is the end of the photo review of the opening ceremony and appearance. Next, I plan to actually start it and review how to use it and the application.
