When Apple unveiled its “one more thing” at the end of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus media event, the company repeatedly spoke of the numerous ways the device can be customized. Apple Watch buyers will be able to choose a case type, size, strap model, digital watch face, apps and many other features
In total, Apple said there will be millions of different combinations — likely a valid claim when taking into account all the different things buyers can customize — but Business Insider points out there are just 22 versions of the Apple Watch to choose from. More →
