First impressions after trying the Apple Watch

You will not find in this short post anything similar to what you have imagined as soon as you read the title; You are not going to find here the umpteenth compilation of everything we can do with the apple clock or a summary of its characteristics, because this time I will simply talk about feelings, about what someone who was, and still is, somewhat skeptical about Apple Watch, has felt when going to a store, touching it, feeling it and wearing it for a few minutes on your wrist.

Apple Watch = art + technology

If you have read me on other occasions you will know of my skepticism towards him Apple Watch and before any smartwatch as we know them to this day. I will not state my reasons here, I have already done so in other articles and I have promised not to talk about functions or everything you can do, or not, with a Apple Watch. Here I am not talking about utility, I am talking about sensations. What I want to tell you is the great difference between seeing the Apple Watch in videos and photos, and see the Apple Watch live.

Last Monday I went with a friend and by prior appointment to the Apple Store Nueva Condomina Murcia and there a super friendly and attentive boy, but no ball, of whom I am very sorry not to remember his name, especially if by chance he ends up reading this, he allowed me to try not two, as in principle he has noticed, if not even four Apple Watch.

I tried the Apple Watch Sport space gray in its two sizes, 38mm and 42mm, and the Apple Watch stainless steel strap with Milanesse Loop strap and magnetic midnight blue leather strap.

El Apple Watch It is robust, I speak of the two models without making distinctions, and when you put it on your wrist, you just love it and want it. It is the secret of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, do things so beautiful and so well finished that they fascinate you so much that it no longer matters if you need it or not, if you will make use of it or not, simply and simply, you want it.

The bracelets or straps, in this case the Sport, the Milanesse Loop and the magnetic leather one, are amazing. Its finish cannot be defined in any other way than perfect. In the case of the Sport, as it is a "hole" strap, you could stay between one hole or the other; This does not happen with the magnetic ones; Its adaptation to the wrist is ideal, they allow you to wear the watch in a terribly comfortable way, almost as if you were not wearing anything, except for the detail that you do not stop looking at it. The Milanesse Loop bracelet is astonishingly beautiful in design, far superior to the steel link, much more "normal" so to speak, although this is a simple matter of taste.

As to Apple Watch sizeSome people think that 38mm is small and 42mm is big. Fatal error! This will only depend on the size of your wrist. In my case, although aesthetically the Apple Watch 38mm because my wrists are hilarious, the 42mm model does not look big at all although, because my wrist bone is too protruding (the one located just at the end of the ulna), I should wear this larger model slightly higher or otherwise, it would sometimes "ride" on this bone, losing the sensors contact with my skin.

In short, I roll up, the Apple Watch is an engineering marvel that only Apple has been shown to be capable of.. On the sidelines is its usefulness, about which I still have my doubts, however, after touching it and feeling it, this aspect has been left aside. My opinion about my favorite model has not changed, Apple Watch Sport 38mm space gray, but if my opinion regarding whether I am going to buy it or not. I still consider that its price is not expensive, if not excessive (in exchange, in the United States the starting price is around € 310) but I want it. I love it because it is a modern work of art, because it confirms the union between the beauty of art and technology that Jobs always pursued.

I will give you some advice, if you have doubts and do not want to spend money, do not go to try the Apple Watch, and if you do, leave the wallet at home.
