Apple Watch (styled as WATCH) is a line of smartwatches developed by Apple Inc.

It
incorporates fitness tracking and health-oriented capabilities with integration with iOS and other
Apple products and services. The original generation of the device was available in four variants:
Apple Watch Sport, Apple Watch, Apple Watch Herms, and Apple Watch Edition; each
distinguished by different combinations of cases and first- or third-party interchangeable bands.
Apple Watch relies on a wirelessly connected iPhone to perform many of its default functions such
as calling and texting. It is compatible with the iPhone 5 or later models running iOS 8.2 or later,
through the use of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Announced by Apple CEO Tim Cook in September 2014, the
device was released in April 2015.[9][10] The Apple Watch quickly became the best-selling wearable
device with the supply of 4.2 million smartwatches in the second quarter of the 2015 fiscal year. [11]

The second generation of Apple Watch, released in September 2016, includes two tiers: Apple
Watch Series 2 and Apple Watch Series 1,[13] which includes the S1P chip, but is otherwise identical
to the original.
