Apple’s newest product, the  Apple Watch, is designed to revolutionize the modern day watch with new features to ensure an even greater user experience.

The Apple Watch was released April 24 with a price that can rival that of a new car.

Starting April 10, buyers could pre-order the watch with a prices ranging from $349 to  upwards of $10,000. If the price seems justified, that is up to you.

The benefits seem to outweigh the price though, with the Apple Watch selling more units in its first day than all Android watch wear did in all its history.

But why does anyone need a $10,000 watch?

Because this is not just any old watch. This is an Apple watch and there is a reason it and the company behind it is such a powerhouse today.

Most people will be content with the  cheapest version, the Apple Watch Sport, that does all of the things the expensive version can do without the price.

The “standard” version of the Watch runs about $550 and has a nicer, shinier case than the Sport, but is functionally the same.

Finally, there is the Apple Watch Edition, with bands and cases made of 18-karat gold and high end leather buckles.

Mass appeal to customers of all ages have given the Apple Watch such a wide variety of consumers that it seems to be the norm in today’s society to own an Apple product.

Besides the need to own Apple products, there are also a few real reasons as to why the Apple Watch might be next on that list of must-have products.

The  Apple Watch, besides having a flashy metal band that takes nine hours to make, has many unique features.

Equipped with iOS 8.2, the Apple Watch is meant to be fully compatible with your iPhone, being able to sync all of the phone’s notifications to your wrist and to utilize all of the already compelling features of the iPhone.

Even if you don’t own an iPhone, the Apple Watch can still be of use to you. You can still use Apple Pay, Passbook and listen to music– the Watch comes with 8GB of memory.

And regardless of whether you connect your Apple Watch to your iPhone or not, you are able to connect with other Apple Watch owners through a variety of ways.

Apple Watches can communicate with one another via short text messages, the device’s new haptic response and a drawing feature.

Haptic response is the ability of the Watches to send out taps felt by the wearers– the devices physically tap users on the wrist. As for the drawing feature, users will be able to draw on their Watch’s face (say something like a heart or an arrow) and send it to another Watch as a quick means of communication.

The more time goes by, the more people will begin to take notice of the Apple Watch. Will all these features and fancy looks bring it the same success and praise that other Apple products have continued to receive? If present sales are any indication, the answer appears to be yes.
