The watch comes with lots of UI tricks in form of little widgets of information, the most notable feature of the Apple Watch hardware is the “digital crown” — a dial on the right side of the device that you can spin and push like a button. The “digital crown” allows you to zoom in and out of the interface rather than pinching to zoom, it allows you to spin the crown to go in and out of the interface. There will be three variations f the Apple Watch, a stainless steel case and sapphire crystal display version, the Apple Watch Sport in an aluminum case with a selection of sportier straps, and the luxury Apple Watch Edition that comes in an 18-carat gold case and also features a sapphire display.
