Apple Watch

Now that review units have been sent to the media, the first Apple Watch unboxing videos have surfaced. Just as with any new Apple product, it’s time for photos and analysis of the packaging surrounding the latest device. Apple Watch is the first iOS-based device to focus on fashion, and it ships ready to wear and use.

The outer box resembles Apple TV or Mac Mini packaging, which lifts off vertically. Inside, the Apple Watch is encased in a rounded case with slots to suspend the body of the device. The band has a retainer which keeps its shape, with the remaining contents of the box packaged in the bottom of the assembly.

The Apple Watch will include its own suite of fitness apps and features when it begins shipping on April 24. The Watch has its own own accelerometer, heart-rate monitor and built-in activity apps to "help anyone who wears it live a healthier life." The Activity and Workout apps can track your daily movement, exercise regimes and the "Stand" feature will remind you to stop sitting every few hours. Apple Watch users will also be able to install third-party apps to monitor their various fitness activities. Apple has already listed Nike+ Running as one of the first fitness apps that will be available for the Watch on April 24, but if that is not enough, here are five more apps that will be Apple Watch-ready at launch.

Apple has started posting detailed Guided Tour videos ahead of the Apple Watch launch on April 24. The videos, on a special Welcome to Apple Watch page are focused on showing owners and potential buyers how to make the most of Apple Watch. In addition to a general welcome video showcasing Apple's "most personal device yet", there are several focused tours on the way.

At the time of this writing, Messages, Faces and Digital Touch are live. Others labeled Coming Soon include Phone Calls, Siri, Maps, Music, Apple Pay, Activity, and Workout. The tours are around two minutes or less, showing how Apple Watch operates along with key functions of the device. At the bottom of the Guided tour page is a collection of all previously released Apple Watch films from the keynote announcement and beyond.
