Apple Watch will replace car keys and remind you to be less lazy, says CEO Tim Cook
The smartwatch is scheduled for launch on March 9
Apple Watch will replace car keys and credit cards, and will remind you to go for a walk if you've been sitting down too long, according to the company's chief executive Tim Cook.
The smart watch, which is due to be unveiled at an event on Monday March 9 will come in three different variants, a regular version, the fitness-focussed Watch Sport and the premium Watch Edition.In an interview with the Telegraph, Cook said that the watch will replace car keys and large fobs used on many vehicles. This will add fuel to the rumours that Apple is entering the driver less car market.
The smart watch will also monitor your heart rate and activity, alerting you when you've been sedentary for too long with a tap to the wrist - this will remind you to get off your bum and do go for a walk.
Likewise you'll be able to use the watch to buy things - using the Apple Pay contactless payment system.
The battery will only last for a day, but there’ll be a what Cook describes as an "incredible" wireless charger.
If you aren't already bought into the Apple ecosystem, you might be better off looking at one of these 5 alternative smart watches.
