Presented at the last Apple keynote, the partnership between the Cupertino and luxury brand Hermes has bear fruit. The Apple Watch Hermes and land on the market. Let's go back in the thick of it. If Apple Watch is among the most expensive market smartwatches, it remains the least expensive Hermes watches. This new collection is indeed proposed from 1300 euros in France and in fifteen other countries in the world currently. Specifically, Apple Watch Hermes is indistinguishable in terms of technical features compared to other watch model of the brand. However in the design side, the stainless steel housings 38 or 42 mm Apple are here surrounded by a leather strap, single or double, made by Hermes. Three colors are available: fawn, black or nasturtium. An engraving on the back of the case, signed Hermes, as well as three exclusive wallpapers for the watch complete the picture. On the sidelines of Fashion Week, Apple confirms that its strategy is to make its mark in the world of luxury to differentiate. However, like its competitors (Samsung, Motorola and other Asus) the idea of ​​Apple is to attract more women to its customers, with smartwatches thoughts for them and smartphones roses for example.

Unlike many connected bracelets, the Apple Watch can not track and analyze your sleep at night because it is like you recharge its battery. There is a solution to sleep well with the iPhone under the pillow or wear a watch connected day and night a bracelet connected, but the concept of Beddit is more practical and stylish. The "Smart Sleep Tracker" is a sensor to lay on the bed, under the sheets, which communicates with the iPhone to monitor your nights. By updating its application Apple Watch, Beddit supports the latest from watchOS 2 and complete its nocturnal accessory. Indeed, during the day the application will track your activity and will be able to advise you when and how long to nap and analyze these micro-phases of rest.

Moreover, they can also view the app via the last 5 transactions. With the update of its mobile app, Belfius intends to give its customers an additional opportunity to quickly and easily check their balance and view their latest transactions. Still no ID Touch support For its mobile application for iOS is really complete, but it remains in the bank to provide the support for the fingerprint recognition Touch ID already used in several of its competitors.

Fortunately we can not send Wizz by Facebook Messenger! With its free update yesterday, the application is compatible with watchOS2, the operating system of Apple Watch available since September. Though we can not type a complete response, Messenger for Apple Watch offers pre-recorded text and can send likes, static stickers, geolocation data and voice messages. After Instagram and Messenger, Facebook when he will launch its application to watchOS2? Its output had already been raised at the launch of the Apple Watch in April, but was overtaken by the official Twitter app, which tracks the timeline on the wrist and write tweets in microphone. With four to five million owners of Apple Watch, we still have little information to judge the use of social networks on smartwatches. If adopted, they could make sense of the wearables, still often seen as gadgets, "not always practical answers to a nonexistent problem."

Nothing looks more like a Swatch Swatch that even connected. This is the conclusion that we can do after the presentation by the Swiss watchmaker of its first smart model Wednesday, October 14 in Shanghai. Intelligent, but not as much as might have been thinking. Because in reality the watch and its four versions will be used to have the time and pay with NFC (Near Field Communication). Swatch has indeed reached an agreement with UnionPay, the association of Chinese financial institutions and the Bank of Communications. A valid only deal in China so countries where mobile payment amounted to $ 3.6 trillion in 2014. Specifically, users will pay their baguette, their Uniqlo jeans, lunch or suit with two buttons "Bellamy" , provided that the vendor business is equipped with a mobile payment terminal without contact.

The many props that have stepped on the media market for the Apple Watch had somewhat poor when Apple announced the mode "night stand" 2 of watchOS, making their creations much less useful for clients. On a chrome base and covered with leather, pending the Forté Apple Watch in a precise 40 ° angle for perfect viewing of the screen in any position. Forté will install its Apple Watch both in portrait mode than in landscape mode to benefit from the night clock. The bracket base is weighted (for a total of 351g) to ensure stability in all tests. In order not to damage the Apple Watch at the time of placing on the Forté support, chrome polycarbonate ring keeps the magnetic charge roller, avoiding contact with chromed metal that makes up the rest of the structure.

Click, the new application for Apple Watch "The Iconfactory" of these applications is that the concept is so simple that you wonder what they are for. But looking more closely, one can find them such a lot of uses they are useful. Clicker is installed on the Apple Watch as a true native application that simply has no use on the iPhone and allows you to have everything you want from the wrist. Tap the screen, the counter increments, together with a confirmation sound. Tap again to count the number of times your colleague says "I'll be very clear" in a conversation, count the number of birds on a branch, the number of times you'll have a coffee, etc. Decrement your counter or return it to zero with Force Touch.

This is one of the best GPS available on iOS and it is sad to see how little it does, however, our language: Navigon is updated to version 2.13, a version that will interest the owners of Apple Watch, who will find safety camera and traffic jams on their watch (with haptic feedback). Owners of Connect IQ, the publisher, have the same opportunities, which are paying options at € 4.99 and 12.99, € respectively. As for the French, and the displeasure of the eyes, here are the full release notes. There's there a Javanese translator in the audience?

Forte is the last Twelve South accessory and this time it concerns Apple Watch. The manufacturer presents its new product as a "luxury bracket" for the watch Apple. The program support in height to place the unit, retained by the magnet of the charging cable, and below a small platform covered with leather to accommodate an iPhone (or something else). This is not the first time that the prop is interested in Apple Watch, but the Forte is better suited to shows that HiRise, its first product we had had the opportunity to test. The latter was well designed, but the white plastic was not at the level of the most expensive Apple Watch, and above it only worked in portrait mode. Gold watchOS 2, recharging is done in landscape mode to take advantage of the new nightstand mode.

One of the basic functions of Apple Watch is his Heart which, obviously, measures the heart rate of the wearer in all circumstances. Alivecor The company, which already has in its catalog an electrocardiogram (ECG) innovative iPhone, has developed a bracelet for Apple Watch also amazing. The product, called Apple Watch EKG integrates two electrodes in a flexible strap that is reminiscent of the bracelet fluoroelastomer of Apple Watch Sport. The sensor measures the pulse and constantly communicates the data to a watchOS 2 application through Bluetooth or not in the hidden diagnostic port, but ... via ultrasound, a proven technology with the holster for iPhone ECG. Data transferred by the strap are received by the microphone of the Apple Watch, which consumes 92% less than the Bluetooth. The operation of the app is very similar to the iPhone Dictaphone: once started, the software continuously records the heart beats and voice messages. The idea is to have a very accurate picture of the user's heart rate, such as in a stressful situation: before a speech or a review, we can state orally in what state of mind you are.

Swiss watch exports had already experienced sharp declines in May and July. September is therefore the third month of decline therefore, with a contraction in exports of nearly 8% compared to September 2014. If the slowdown in the Chinese economy had worried investors of Apple, the Middle Kingdom is among the countries where the decline in Swiss exports is most pronounced, the Hong Kong side and the US according to figures the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry. Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea and Taiwan also showed signs of weakness. In addition, the Federation indicates that all price segments were affected by the decline, but the decline was particularly marked for watches sold under € 500, a range in competition with smartwatches particular, Apple Watch. Given the performance of the Swiss watch industry since last April, one can not help but see a correlation between the fall in exports and the arrival of Apple far as concerns, although the strong franc does not help country's industrial business.

In the opinion of specialists, Apple has certainly developed the most powerful smart watch market. The US giant has relied once again on the recipe that has made it successful: the attention to detail and ease of use, even if he had to introduce new interactions to fit the miniature size of the screen . But it has not solved the problem that abut all manufacturers of the sector: how to raise the watches connected over their original setting device smartphone tool. Apple Watch The first allows less use her iPhone to simplify the life of increasingly connected users. It displays notifications and social media networks, SMS, take incoming calls, following directions, weather displays and music widgets. It also allows controlling a Uber, to find a song on Shazam or manage their airline tickets. The Apple Watch also of sporting dimension. It incorporates a heart rate monitor and a GPS and an accelerometer, via the iPhone, for monitoring sport and physical activity. It displays a weekly record of your daily efforts and count your exercises. It also allows you to set personal goals, it will endeavor to make you achieve great shots reminders. All with an autonomy that allows it to largely hold a day. It is intended for casual sportsmen and people concerned to adopt more healthy behavior, sportsmen wishing to improve their performance on specific criteria. Nothing revolutionary, then, but more than enough to distinguish it from the fleet of Android watches already on the market for twenty months and offer "Finally meaning to smart watches" the confession of the Wall Street Journal.

The Apple Watch is not extended for a year, but already thinking about the future release. And designers will give heart to joy, with more or less wacky concepts. The latter, signed by the Swiss company Handy Abovergleich, belongs to the category more realistic. No nonsense, but some ideas Apple could follow next year ... On the hardware side, the other new concerns bracelets. We know that there is a connector that could be used by a bracelet on current Apple Watch, but until then it did not happen. And if Apple operated, such as adding a blood pressure sensor? The concept even imagine where it could be placed on Sport wristband. It's not a crazy concept and we would not be surprised to find some of the ideas in future Apple Watch, from the next generation or the following. We'll know more next year, probably in spring 2016!

The excellent Macif application is passed in version 1.3 bringing many new features and improvements. The utility is now compatible with the 3D Touch iPhone 6s but also the strength of the Apple Touch Watch. With Quick Actions 6s your iPhone, you can unlock your Mac - just like with your fingerprint with the Touch ID. It is also possible to lock / unlock your machine automatically whenever your main iPhone moves away or approaches the Mac. A second iPhone can also be added but do not support the latter automatic function.

The Force Touch can lock or unlock your Mac from the Audio Control screen, without returning to the main screen.

Once again the iPhone did not receive. The flagship Apple has sold 48 million copies in the last quarter and more than 230 million throughout the fiscal year, which ended in late September shifted to the firm at the apple. Continuing to sell over and over from year to year, the Cupertino iPhone enabled the group to generate an annual turnover up 28% from last year to 233.7 billion dollars and to increase its net profit by 35% to over 53 billion. What to make 2015 "the best year in the history of Apple", welcomed Tim Cook. The iPhone's performance in China, set to become the main market of Apple, have hardly been comforting since the group has seen its smartphone sales shrink from one quarter to another. Above all, there is the question of growth for the firm at the apple. "One of their challenge will be to make both the software with Apple Pay, Apple TV and Apple Music, than they were able to with iTunes," said Gregory Hachin specialist at Kurt Salmon adds that "in the hardware, the group is losing ground in terms of innovation."

Sales of its flagship smartphone yet allowed the Cupertino giant to announce results up sharply, although this dependence is starting to worry the markets. But when it comes to talking about sales of its first connected watch, Apple usually boot into touch, citing competitive reasons. Fortunately, the announcement of its results can be inferred if the number of sold Apple Watch, at least turnover that they represent. Indeed, Apple said that more than 100% of the increase of income of the category "other products" were in fact sales of Apple Watch. A category increased in one year from $ 8.3 billion to more than ten billion, as highlighted in the first Venture Beat site. And the figure is impressive: while its sale only goes back to late April, and has therefore been available for sale five months, between May and September, in terms of the fiscal year, it will already have reported at least $ 1.7 billion (€ 1.55 billion). So mortal danger as the flood of quartz or single once technophile and ephemeral neighborhood to the big names of the global watchmaking? Everything is actually question of selling price. Thus, in the segment of more than 3,000 Swiss francs (2700 euros), Rolex is and remains in first place, ahead of Omega and Cartier. That is, when the Swiss watch luxury sells five watches in the world, one in five is a Rolex. According Vontobel, the three giants of luxury and watchmaking such as Richemont, LVMH and Swatch Group weigh three of them 54% of the 1.6 million high-end watches exported from Switzerland in 2014, with 28%, 20% and 6% market share in this price level.

A surprising problem hit the screens of a handful of Apple Watch: sudden onset of a task on the screen that pops up for no particular reason. This black spot grows without the user having anything to reproach himself. Imad has sent us some photos of his own watch that has suffered from this strange disease. Our reader told us that his Apple Watch did not suffer shock or immersion (in any case, Apple recommends cleaning the digital crown under a trickle of water). At the Apple Store when it was taken up by product, Genius explained that this phenomenon could come from a burn due to sunlight. The stain however appeared to 22h and has grown very quickly: after two days, she was overflowing on the hour. The case is not isolated. We find evidence of the phenomenon in the month of May on Apple's support forum here or there for example. The only solution is to go to an Apple Store to have it replaced his watch.

Failing to have Apple's sales figures on his watch, the estimates are going well. The latest comes from the Anglo-Saxon analyst firm Canalys and covers 7 million Apple Watch since its launch. "This figure is in excess of the cumulative shipments of all other suppliers in the five previous quarters," the study finds. For its part, Apple is careful to communicate on sales of his Watch, which invites to interpretation. In the United States, to boost sales of its watch, Apple offers a 50 dollars (45 euros) combined when buying an iPhone and an Apple Watch. This promotion, rare among the manufacturer, tested in some Apple Stores in California and in the state of Massachusetts. But the real barometer for Apple should be as usual the last quarter of the year, during which periods the focus of "Black Friday" in the US and Christmas, conducive to sales of high tech products. Sales of Apple Watch remain confined to the category "Other" which includes the Apple TV box, the original Beats products, iPod and accessories. During the presentation of its financial results by the manufacturer, this category generated $ 3 billion in revenue for Apple in the fiscal quarter ended September 2015 end.
