About the Apple Watch 38mm
Are there any down-sides to this early Apple watch 1st generation and what are it’s features? Well, It lacks the GPS of the later models so if you are going running it will not supply much of the data you might need - but the heart rate monitor function is still great for aerobic workouts at the gym. The 1st gen device does lack a cellular option - but it's perfectly fine for use in the home or office or public spaces where wi-fi is available. You can also sync music to it - but you will not be able to stream. The 8GB storage is more than enough for a nice collection of tracks. Its also a bit slower than later models and the battery life is a bit less - but again - it's no train smash. The 'IonX glass' is not as durable as the Sapphire used in later models - so you may have to buy a case as an accessory. This brings us neatly to the accessory list. The 1st gen has a multitude of options when it comes to accessories. Many of these are available from independent manufacturers and include some stylish stands and docks. There is also an extensive range of shock resistant and stylish cases to protect your investment. Many options for aftermarket watch bands.
However, even though the iWatch 1st gen is now regarded as entry level it still represents a significant investment, especially if you are going to up the accessory count. But there is also the vexing question of parts for a watch that is not really part of the Apple inventory anymore. However, the good news is that there are suppliers who have huge inventories of parts and accessories for repair to keep that watch going strong. This list includes films to protect the watch face which, as mentioned can be scratch prone. Those are the perfect solution for consumers who don't want an aftermarket add on case. Parts and accessories such as:
- Special Screwdrivers to assist the owner in performing repairs to the watch themselves
- Tempered Glass films to protect the watch face
- LCD touchscreens and digitizers
- iWatch Straps
- Heart Rate Sensors
