Apple Watch

The Apple Watch is Apple's smartwatch that combines iconic design with high technological performance. It functions as an extension of the iPhone, facilitating communication, providing real-time health monitoring, and offering practicality to the user in their daily life.

Since its official launch in 2015, the device has evolved from a luxury accessory to an essential item.
