Calling Dick Tracy: Apple Watch Next Modern Marvel

Next to the jet pack, Dick Tracy’s wristwatch (with a two way television) was the hottest piece of tech never to be commercially realized in the 20th century. Nearing 85 years since the cartoon’s debut, we have the technology, but it’s yet to be adapted into the mainstream. Much like the digital watch of the 70s, there’s such a thing as too geek to be chic. Enter the Apple Watch.

More of a complete sentence than a brand, thankfully they didn’t call iWatch.

Destined to be the next big thing in wearable tech, it comes in a varying array of flavors, from classic to sporty. Prices start at $349.00 for the base level watch, making it the second least expensive piece of tech Apple has ever debuted. You will be able to message doodles, as well as your own heartbeat. For the first time in an Apple product, the batteries are replaceable. They also will need to recharge every 18 hours. But the biggest news is the 24k gold-plated version rumored to cost between $5 to $10 thousand dollars. Can you guess which celebrity will receive the first one?

Which will you wear… Sporty, Posh or Ginger Spice?

While one might expect Kim Kardashian to be the first recipient, Apple went a different way. Warren Beatty now proudly wears one on his wrist, and has secret facetime chats with former Dick Tracy costar, Madonna—when Annette Bening isn’t looking, of course. ;>

Upon receiving the first 24k gold-plated Apple Watch, Warren Beatty was breathless.
