Canada: Taken from acquisition worksheet: "The Apple Watch is part of a series of emerging (2013-present) digital computer wearable technologies. The Apple Watch was an attempt to get consumers to interact with their cellular phones in new ways. By making the Apple Watch a Bluetooth accessory to the main iPhone, Apple Inc. was able to build a device that was small enough to feel like a traditional wrist watch but not have to integrate all of the components to make it a cellular device. This particular Apple watch was purchased online and delivered to the donor in Iqaluit, Nunavut. The donor works refueling aircraft at the international airport. The watch was used to send and receive messages between the user and the office to inform the donor which planes needed to be fueled and how much fuel was needed. By using the Apple Watch, the company was able to get around the fact that there are no cellular telephones allowed to be out a used on the tarmac as they constitute a foreign object danger (FOD)."
Function: Wearable technology designed to enhance the use of the Apple iPhone by enabling the user to access limited functionality via the wrist interface. When not being actively used to access the iPhone, the Apple watch is timepiece.
Technical: Taken from acquisition worksheet: "The Apple Watch is as Bluetooth enabled accessory for the Apple iPhone. When not tethered, it has limited functionality. While it can be used as a personal micro-computer it is not able to send or receive messages without an accompanying iPhone. When tethered, the user is able to control the email and messaging systems of the iPhone and check them discreetly from their wrist."
