其他的技术公司也在近年引进了智能手表，但这类公司并没获得广泛的关注，由于买家挣扎于是不是可以找到一个驱使他们用这类设施的功能。
Apple hopes to change all that with a tool that presents users with bite-size chunks of information and saves people from the hassle of reaching into a bag or pocket for a phone, while offering new ways to communicate through taps and vibrations.

"Apple Watch can be an incredibly rich and an integral part of your life, " chief executive Tim Cook told a media briefing in San Francisco. "Apple Watch is the most personal device we have ever created."

For the Apple Watch Sport with an aluminum casing, Apple said prices will start at $US349 to $US399 depending on the size of the face. The stainless steel Apple Watch starts at $US549 to $US599. The high-end Apple Watch Edition starts at $US10,000, making it one of the most expensive products Apple has ever sold.

Apple Watch is the company's first all-new product since it introduced the iPad in 2010. One of the biggest questions hanging over Apple's incredible success is whether it is sustainable as the company branches into new corners of the electronics world.
Apple Watch 是苹果公司继2010年的iPad后首款全新的商品。苹果公司之所以获得这样惊人的成功，其中最大的问题就是是不是可以维持公司在电子科技世界范围的可持续进步。
The smartwatch market is still nascent. A slew of competitors from established names like Samsung Electronics, and LG Electronics to lesser-known startups like the Pebble and Fitbit have introduced offerings aimed at creating demand for wearable devices, but most have failed to gain momentum.
智能手表的市场才初绽头角。大到海量早已成立的企业的角逐者如三星电子，LG电子，小到Pebble和Fitbit，也已引进了目的在于生产可佩带的设施的技术，但大部分都进步得不如人意。
As it did successfully with the iPhone and iPod, Apple is trying to re-define a new product category with a sleek and thoughtful device. For Mr Cook, it also is a chance to prove that Apple can still produce the types of breakthrough products that defined the company under his predecessor, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
正如iPhone和iPod的成功，苹果正常时改良新品类型，目的为圆滑且体贴的设施。库克表示，这也是一个促进苹果在商品设计上突破的机会，符合苹果企业的前女友设计师乔布斯的设计理念。

Marketing the Apple Watch, meanwhile, won't be as simple as marketing past Apple products. The iPod was a way to carry a music collection in your pocket. The iPhone was a mobile phone plus internet device, with a revolutionary touch screen. Apple sold the iPad as a simpler way to browse the web, view photos and watch videos.
推广Apple Watch不如推广之前的商品那样简单。iPod是你把音乐随身携带的一个方法。iPhone是一部可上网的移动手机，并用革命性的的触摸屏幕。苹果公司供应iPad,标榜其可以为用户提供快捷的渠道浏览网页，查询图片和观看影片。
Still, analysts expect Apple's brand appeal and the company's loyal customers to make Apple Watch the most successful wearable device on the market.
