New Apple Watch Series 3 can tell if you’re going to have a HEART ATTACK
The new watch is jam packed with health benefits and could even 'save lives'
APPLE has announced a brand new Apple Watch that could save you from cardiac arrest.
The brand new Watch Series 3 will calculate your resting heart rate and recovery rate across the day.
The tech giant is now the largest manufacturer of watches in the world, it claimed during a press conference in its brand new Apple Campus in California this evening, where it announced the new gadget.
Having been on the market for over two years, the Watch has made itself a must-have for followers of the tech giant, and is slowly becoming one of their most popular items.
The brand new wearable, the Watch Series 3, will be jam-packed with health tech as well as apps you can sync to your iPhone and other Apple products.
It has wireless LTE connectivity, which means customers will be able to make phone calls or send text messages from the watch without needing to have an iPhone nearby, as they do with earlier models.
The ability to make calls with a wristwatch has captured the imagination of tech enthusiasts at least since it was prominently featured in "Dick Tracy," the comic about a private detective who, starting in 1946, used calls from his wrist to help bust bad guys.
"This has been our vision from the beginning," Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams said at the launch event.
"Now you can go for a run with just your watch and still be connected. It's really nice to know you can be reached if needed."
The wearable will also let you stream 40 million songs from Apple Music “on your wrist”.
Tim Cook told the audience that their time keeping gadgets were the “number one watch in the world”.
"People write to us all the time and tell us how the Apple Watch is helping them live a healthier life."
Apple claims its new Series 3, on the other hand, will have up to 18 hours of battery life and is just a fraction of a millimetre thicker that it's previous Series 2.
And it will have the same phone number as a customer's iPhone, which will still be required for the initial set up of the watch.
The crowds watched on as a video showing how people use the Watch to track their fitness regimes were played in the theatre.
Despite the confidence that Apple is the number one watchmaker, it still refuses to reveal how many Watches it sells.
Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi believes Apple will sell 12 million watches in its fiscal 2017 and 14 million to 15 million in fiscal 2018. Gene Munster with Loup Ventures predicted a much bigger bump, to 26 million units in 2018.
