Little by little, new data continues to arrive from Cupertino from the people who have tried the different Apple Watch models after yesterday's Keynote. Everyone agrees that it is a star product that will complement the iPhone in an extraordinary way. There will be no person who has an iPhone and does not consider having this type of watch.

However, and as we have indicated in previous articles, those of Cupertino have not specified all hardware features who owns the device as well as whether or not it is submersible. Likewise, the device autonomy data has been omitted which, According to experts, it could be in one day of operation.

We are already clear that we will not be able to have this device in our hands until it is known what month of the beginning of 2015, so until that moment we cannot guarantee one hundred percent that the characteristics that are rumored are or not completely certain. According to people who have attended the keynote, they have been able to find out that indeed, the Apple Watch is not going to be waterproof although it will be prepared to withstand liquid splashes or even the fall of rain. If you stop to look closely at its design, it does not have any headphone jack, it works via bluetooth, and the device is charged by induction. It remains to be seen if the side button and jog wheel are ready for use in humid environments, which is sure to be the case.

That is why, in the promotional video that Apple has published, we do not see at any time any person practicing sports that involve immersing the device in water. We can see people running, cycling, cross training and many other sports not related to the aquatic world.

Other information that is beginning to arrive, from the people who have been able to get their hands on it, is that the device icons can be placed at will, for which it is enough that we make the same long press gesture that we do on iOS devices to be able to move the applications around. Likewise, it has the possibility of locating our iPhone by emitting a sound in it activated from the clock, more commonly called "Ping my iPhone".

To end this batch of last minute features, we want you to know that the Apple Watch can be used offline, that is, not linked to the iPhone. Of course, the amount of actions that you will be able to do decreases considerably, but we will be able to listen to music via bluetooth, make payments through Apple Pay, record user activity and manage certain applications. Anyway, as developers create applications for it, we will have, as Tim Cook has said, a watch with infinite possibilities.

    In one of the videos, a boy appears pouring water over himself and it can be seen how it falls on the Apple Watch.
