Description

The watch reimagined.

It delivers important information when and where you need it. Helps you easily perform everyday tasks in seconds. Instantly connects you to the people and things you care about most. All while keeping precise time. Yes, it’s a watch. But unlike any you’ve ever imagined.

Apple Pay. Fast, safe, and always right there.

Having Apple Pay on your watch is remarkably convenient. Want to buy a bottle of water while you’re out for a run? No problem. Just double-click the side button and hold the display up to the contactless reader. A gentle tap and beep confirm your payment information was sent. You never reveal your name, card number, or security code to the cashier, so your private information stays private.

Ion X glass. Strengthened at the molecular level.

To keep the Sport collection models as light as possible, we used aluminosilicate glass — the same material used in the windows of space shuttles and high-speed trains. It’s fortified at the molecular level through ion exchange, with smaller ions being replaced by larger ones to create a surface layer far tougher than ordinary glass.

Stainless steel. Not just refined. Reengineered.

The strength and beauty of stainless steel have long made it a favorite material in fine timepieces. For Apple Watch, we took a refined 316L stainless steel and cold forged it to make it up to 80 percent harder. We reduced impurities to achieve a mirror finish. And we added a diamond-like carbon layer to create our striking space black stainless steel.

Sapphire. Beautifully shields Apple Watch from the world.

Next to diamond, sapphire is the hardest transparent material on earth. That makes it ideal for protecting the Retina display and the heart rate sensor. To ensure a precise fit for the case, the sapphire is cut using a diamond-encrusted wire and precision-machined into its final form. It’s then polished for many hours to produce the desired finish.
