Why I recommend the 42mm Apple Watch over the 38mm version

Apple Watch Sport collection vs Apple Watch Sport, Milanese Loop vs Leather loop. There are lots and lots of choices when it comes to configuring an Apple Watch. There are even two sizes to choose from—38mm and 42mm.

Choice is good, and there's certainly a lot of decisions to make when it comes to Apple Watch configuration. But when it comes to size, I would recommend the 42mm. Unless you have really small fingers, and a really small wrist, I think that you should at least try on the 42mm version to test it out.

Why am I so high on the 42mm Apple Watch? It's because I've tried them both. At first I didn't think that the difference would be that big of a deal, but after going hands on with both, I'm leaning more heavily towards recommending the larger version

Apple Watch contains a variety of status indicator icons, and they all mean different things. In this post, we'll talk about some of the status icons that you may encounter during your usage of Apple's new wearable.

How many Watches did Apple sell?

While Apple is set to announce quarterly earnings later today, it won't be breaking down Watch sales for competitive reasons. This hasn't stopped analysts from making educating guesses in terms of Watch sales since the device's April 24 debut.

Estimates range from as low as 631,000 units to as high as 1.7 million units, with second-quarter shipments expected to hit nearly four million units as Apple's suppliers resolve manufacturing issues with the Watch's AMOLED display and Haptic Engine.

Seven cool things Apple Watch can do without its paired iPhone

Designed as a versatile companion to the iPhone, the Apple Watch uses the GPS and Wi-Fi in your iPhone to give you the full experience. That's why the very first step before you can start using the Watch is pairing it to an iPhone in iOS's Apple Watch application.

But even though the wearable device wasn't conceived as a standalone product, it can still do a few tricks on its own, without having a paired iPhone in range. Here are seven different things the Apple Watch can do without being tethered to an iPhone.

Is Apple Watch draining your iPhone’s battery too fast? This may help

Contrary to popular belief, the Apple Watch has a pretty remarkable battery, a notion driven home by even the toughest of critics and reviewers.

Our own Oliver Haslam has underscored the phenomenon in his hands-on with the Watch based on his first 24 hours with the device, as did others including former Engadget editor Ryan Block. What gives?
