THE APPLE WATCH has gone on sale today, and an awful lot of people around the globe are currently strutting about the place proudly sporting the next generation of wrist-candy.
A watch is not just something to be worn for everyone though.
Internet tech-fix people iFixit have been having a whale of a time ripping one apart to see, quite literally, what makes it tick.
They’ve been live-tweeting the experience while they’re at it.
A joyous experience for those of a more techy mindset.

Well, apparently the heart rate sensor may be able to measure your blood oxygen levels for starters. Which is a bit mad.
