Most people are wondering, why didn't they call it the iWatch instead? Apple's foray into wearable tech is here. The Apple Watch follows the footsteps of the iPod and has a scroll wheel-inspired Digital Crown.

Users can scroll, zoom and navigate the Apple Watch and even activate Siri with the Digital Crown.
