Apple’s Watch is, at the end of the day, a product that will suffer damages including standard wear and tear. So don’t expect it to be any differently than regular watches from that point of view -- and that goes double for the watch's bands, including the Sport fluoroelastomer and Leather bands, according to pictures posted by 9to5Mac.
Comcast and Time Warner Cable confirmed on Friday morning that their $45.2 billion merger deal was finally dead, but just hours later, reports are already beginning to spread about Charter picking up where Comcast left off.
App developers are Apple's secret MVPs. Without applications, the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch would be immensely boring devices. Apple knows this, and that’s why it always tries to outshine the competition when it comes to app availability for its products, including the newly launched Apple Watch.
Have you ever been sitting on the couch with a dying phone, wishing you didn't have to traipse into the other room just to plug it in on your bedside table? What if I told you that your couch, previously an obstacle for charging your devices, could become your next power station?
So your Apple Watch just arrived in the mail. Now what? The first thing you'll need to do with the device is to run through its initial setup with help of a compatible iPhone (at least iPhone 5 or later).
Writing for iMore, Greg Koenig provides a fascinating and thorough look into the build quality of the recently released Apple Watch. As anyone who has ever seen an Apple product unveiling can attest, Apple takes a tremendous amount of pride in the materials it uses and the processes it employs to create its products. Indeed, some of Apple's innovations extend beyond consumer electronics to include advanced manufacturing techniques as well.
All that said, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that the build quality and durability on the Apple Watch is quite high. Regarding the Apple Watch Sport collection, presumably poised to be the most popular, Koenig writes that Apple opted to go with a 7000 series aluminum alloy, resulting in an extremely hard casing that should make it extremely difficult for users to scratch, dent, or even scuff up even with heavy use.
Luxottica is well known as the company behind Ray-Ban, Oakley and other popular eyewear brands. However, it's about to take on its biggest challenge yet: Making Google Glass look cool. The Wall Street Journal reports that Luxottica CEO Massimo Vian said on Friday that his company is working with Google to design the sequel to Google Glass and that the new device would be out soon.
Sure, the Apple Watch has amazing build quality, and any version seems to be sturdy enough to withstand plenty of accidents including drops, scratches and dunks in water to name just a few. But the device is not indestructible, and some people have already started putting it through various torture tests to gauge its resistance. In other words, any Apple Watch model is susceptible to accidental damage, and Apple already knows what it will and won’t cover under the standard and extended warranty programs.
After spending a good amount of time with my new Apple Watch, I have not been able to find the one defining feature that would make it a must-have device for everyone. In fact, I couldn’t even explain to some of my friends why it made sense for me to buy the device. All that said, I am starting to see what this tiny device could bring me: More free time.

Every single time a post runs on BGR that includes the image above, I get at least a dozen emails from people asking if I would mind sending them the wallpaper pictured on the iPhone's screen.

Every month or so, an app comes along that captures the imagination of the Internet. We saw it with Words with Friends, Draw Something and Flappy Bird, but nothing had caused quite as big a stir as any of those apps in a while.
At least, that was the case until everyone stumbled across the free Chinese app My Idol earlier this week.
Whatever you're doing at this very moment is nowhere near as important as this. In the lip sync game, Terry Crews is a king among men. A giant among ants. You cannot compete with him. No one can. He is the Michael Jordan of lip syncing.
Now, watch him murder this episode of Spike's Lip Sync Battle with a performance that will make even the most talented showmen and women in the world drop their jaws in awe and hang their heads in shame.
Apple Watch bands can be easily damaged like any other watch bands, but don’t freak out about it
