Beyonce flaunts Gold Apple Watch Nobody Can Buy

Beyonce and Karl Lagerfeld own an Apple Watch Edition with a Gold Band that is not yet on sale.

The first Apple Watch for commoners will ship this Friday, April 24. Select celebrities own an Apple Watch since days before the pre-order even started. First celeb spotted with an Apple Watch was Pharrell. Since then several more surfaced, all showing off an $10k and up Apple Watch Edition. Now Beyonce tops them all with a Gold Apple Watch with a custom gold band that is not offered yet by Apple.

Fashion’s Yoda, Karl Lagerfeld, has beaten Beyonce to the punch and he already owns the same custom gold Apple Watch courtesy of Apple since a week.

Apple is getting ready to ship the first Apple Watch units to “normal” people. 9to5Mac received the first reports of customers getting their credit card charged in preparation of order processing. 

The Apple Watch introduces a new design and iOS-based user interface created specifically for a smaller device. Apple Watch features the Digital Crown, a new way to scroll, zoom and navigate fluidly, without obstructing the display. The Digital Crown also serves as the Home button and a quick way to access Siri. 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 access controls within Apple Watch apps.

The 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. Apple custom-designed its own S1 SiP (System in Package) to miniaturize an entire computer architecture onto a single chip. Apple Watch also features Wi-Fi 802.11b/g and Bluetooth 4.0 to pair seamlessly with your iPhone. Besides the smart watch features the Apple Watch keeps time to within 50 milliseconds of UTC, the universal time standard when synching regularly with the iPhone.
The Apple Watch starts at $349 for the small case (38mm) Sport Edition. The Apple Watch Pre-order starts on April 10 in 9 countries (Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the UK and the US) and the Apple Watch ships on April 24.
