Perhaps Apple will make the side button configurable at some point, the way they did with the late mute/orientation lock switch on the iPad, and the way they have and still do the triple press for accessibility. Regardless, you can't change it: If health and fitness is more important to you and you'd rather have workout or timer functionality a single hardware button press away, you're out of luck. That a single press of one of only two control buttons on the Apple Watch is devoted to Friends indicates that Apple believes communication - along with the fancy new Friends interface and Digital Touch system - are among the most important features on the Watch.ĭepending on how highly you value your friends and how much you enjoy Digital Touch, you may agree or disagree with the choice. Do that while you're in an app, and then press and hold it again, and you'll force quit the app. Press and hold it for the the power off, power reserve, and lock device menu. Unlike on the iPhone's sleep/wake button, the side button is not an on/off switch: Press it once for the Watch's Friends interface press it twice for Apple Pay (currently only available in the U.S.). While it serves several functions, in practice it feels like the sleep/wake button on the iPhone - especially the newly relocated sleep/wake button on the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The side button is, as the name implies, on the side of the Watch. The colors are bright and, in addition, the Watch appears to match the iPhone's calibration, making for an incredibly consistent experience. That both saves power and allows the unused areas to stay closer to true black. So, if any part of the display isn't being used, it's also not being lit up. With OLED, the subpixels light themselves. That also means, even for unused areas, there's some light coming through the resulting blacks look closer to very dark gray. It doesn't matter if there's one subpixel or every subpixel active, the entire display is drawing power. The deep blacks and power efficiency are related: With Apple's traditional LCD (liquid crystal displays) technology, there's a single backlight that's either on or off. With deep blacks and high power efficiency, it's a perfect match for a device that's designed to be viewed quickly. Modern OLED has improved upon its ancestry to retain its traditional advantages and mitigate its disadvantages. The 38mm Apple Watch has a display size of 340-by-272 pixels.The 42mm Apple Watch has a display size of 390-by-312 pixels. That's not unusual for a mobile device, but this Retina display is OLED (organic light-emitting diodes), and that's a first for Apple. The Apple Watch's front is dominated by its Retina display. I've had my steel and sapphire Apple Watch going on three weeks and it still looks as good as it did when I took it out the box. And like any watch, you'll be able to treat them as and when they happen. Like any watch, scuffs and scratches are inevitable. The ceramics are polished with a grinding stone and the sapphire with diamond covered pellets. The aluminum Watch is blasted by microscopic zirconia beads for a matte finish, while the stainless steel and golds are polished to a shine. Rather than imitating the existing 18K yellow and rose gold Apple Watch Editions, they've been made to perfectly match the gold iPhones 6 and iPhones 6s, and the new rose gold iPhones 6s. On September 9, 2015, alongside a variety of new band options, Apple introduced two new anodized aluminum finishes for Apple Watch Sport: gold and rose gold.
