The pre-order price for the Apple Watch 18-karat Gold edition cost up to $17,000. Pre-orders for all versions of the device were made available on April 10.

Nomad, the developer of NomadClip and ChargeKey, is releasing a Pod for the Apple Watch, which functions as a portable battery pack for the new device.

It is currently available for pre-order at a $60 price tag.  

The Apple Watch includes features that allow users to receive calls on their device.

Apple's Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook revealed the feature during a pre-release date event in San Francisco.

The price of the device is double the amount of the average smartphone, a report published by independent research firm Smartwatch Group reveals. 

According to the research company, about 6.8 million smartwatches were sold in 2014 at an average price of $189. This means that the Sport version of the Apple Watch is twice as expensive as the average smartphone.
