That’s it folks, all has been revealed. We know how much the Apple Watch is going to cost, and we know when it’s going to land on shelves.
The release date part is easy. You can pre-order it from 10 April, and it’s official release date is 24 April. Pricing, however, is a little trickier.
There are three general models. The Apple Watch Sport, the Apple Watch, and the Apple Watch Edition. Each model also comes in two sizes, 38mm and 42mm. The smaller models are cheaper than their larger counterparts, and prices range from £300 all the way up to £13,500. We’re not kidding.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Apple Watch Sport
All Apple Watch sport models feature durable fluoroelastomer sports band straps, available in white, blue, green, red and black.
The casing itself is made from Apple’s custom aluminium alloy, which is 60% stronger than standard aluminium.
The 38nm model in all colours is £300, while the 42mm model, again in all colours, is £340.
Apple Watch
The regular Apple Watch has a variety of different strap materials and designs, and opts for a stainless steel shell as opposed to aluminium across the entire range.
Some of the strap options are only available in either the 38mm or 42mm models.
Pricing also gets a bit trickier:
Sport band straps: 38mm (£480), 42mm (£520), available in black or white straps.
Black classic buckle: 38mm (£560), 42mm (£600)
