Apple has launched its latest genre of consumer gadgets – the Apple Watch (without the “i”). Prices for the wearable device start from US$349 – early 2015.
Apple Watch is available in three distinct collections — Apple Watch, Apple Watch Sport and Apple Watch Edition.
Apple Watch is controlled through a Digital Crown for scrolling, zooming and navigating – without obstructing the display. The Digital Crown also serves as the Home button.

You can use the Apple Watch to send/receive messages and answer calls to your iPhone.
Apple Watch also introduces comprehensive health and fitness apps that can help people lead healthier lives.
Apple Watch uses an iOS-based user interface created specifically for a smaller device.
The Retina display on Apple Watch features Force Touch, a technology that senses the difference between a tap and a press, providing a new way to quickly and easily access controls within apps.
Apple Watch introduces the Taptic Engine and a built-in speaker that together discreetly enable an entirely new vocabulary of alerts and notifications you can both hear and feel.

The Logitech X300 Mobile Wireless Stereo Speaker is a wireless Bluetooth speaker designed for both mobility and performance. It is affordably priced at S$99 in Singapore.
Logitech X300 Mobile Wireless Stereo Speaker
Despite its diminutive size, I found that the X300 speaker exhibited wide-range sound that easily fills a room.
That’s due to the way the drivers have been angled facing upward and out to produce a more expansive sound spectrum.
The X300 can also be placed upright. Photo: Logitech SG.
It delivers a deep and precise bass response, and detailed mid- and high-range sound.
You can also position the speaker upright in case of space constraints.
As with other Logitech Bluetooth speakers that I have tried in the past, connecting the speaker to a Bluetooth-enabled device and playing music streamed from the device is a piece of cake.
Simply hold down the Bluetooth button on top of the X300 for a few seconds for the initial pairing.
Make sure the source device has its Bluetooth turned on and is scanning for devices.
A blue light below the power button behind the speaker will begin to flash until it has paired with a device, in which case, the light will become solid.
I had no trouble pairing the X300 to my GALAXY S5 and iPad mini.

The ZenFone 5 LTE will be available in Charcoal Black, Pearl White, Cherry Red and Champagne Gold colours (Champagne Gold will be available for only 16GB model). The purple colour shown above is not available in Singapore.
ASUS officially launched its ZenFone 5 LTE in Singapore today at Suntec Convention Centre.
The ZenFone 5 LTE will be available at all ASUS brand stores, Best Denki, Challenger and Newstead stores on 30 August.
It will also be available at the ASUS Official Online Store and Lazada.
All three major mobile operators – M1, SingTel and StarHub – will offer the ZenFone 5 LTE with their respective LTE data plans.
What catches the attention is the affordable price tag. ASUS boasts that the sub-S$300 phone gives consumers the best value-for-money market.
And I can believe that.
Shipping with the latest Android 4.4 KitKat, the phone is smooth and responsive, and more than enough for what most people use their smartphones for – making calls, sending messages, taking photos, checking social media status, and surfing the Web.
