The Apple Watch automatically locks when it's not on your wrist

Even after getting our hands on with the Apple Watch we still have a lot of questions about Apple's first wearable. Like, for example, what happens if a thief gets their wrists on it?

They wouldn't just be absconding with a $349 (about £215, AU$383) smartwatch, but also your iTunes account and credit cards thanks to Apple Pay.

Secrets revealed

Apple may have given its first smartwatch a big introduction, calling it the "one more thing" of the iPhone 6 keynote, but we're still learning much more about the Apple Watch every day.

An Apple spokesperson revealed on September 10 users should expect to recharge their wearable every night, and who knows what more we'll learn in the lead up to the Apple Watch's 2015 release.
