The Apple Watch can compete with Samsung's Tizen-based smartwatches, as well as fitness wearables like the Microsoft Band, Basis Peak and Fitbit products.

Not to be outshined by its popular smartphone counterpart, the Apple Watch boasts an innovative set of features, including pulse-tracking sensors and walkie-talkie capabilities.

If choosing between which edition or finish to get isn't enough, there's also a plethora of bands and bracelets to choose from.
