Apple did not hold its event at San Francisco's Moscone Center this year, instead choosing a place in Cupertino where Steve Jobs introduced the first Mac computer 25 years ago. Apple reportedly barricaded the venue to conceal the build-out from curious eyes and smartphone cameras.

It comes in two sizes to fit different wrists, and is offered in three styles with slightly unique features. There is a standard watch, Sport edition that is a bit lighter and made of stronger materials, and an 18-karat gold version. It will be available early next year, with prices starting at $349.

Apple Watch sensors

The side of the watch has a "digital crown," which allows the user to magnify images, scroll through menus and adjust settings without touching the relatively small screen. It also has sensors on the underside to measure pulse and activity level.

And that's a wrap.
