Apple Watch features leave health professionals unimpressed
Sources suggest there will be a new model out early next year offering more health features
Technology pundits were quick to predict the demise of most rival fitness wristbands and watches when Apple launched its Apple Watch, but health-care professionals and fitness addicts have been left wanting more.
Observers say there is little evidence that the device's fitness capabilities surpass what is on offer from competitors.
Others, hoping for ground-breaking health features from a company whose chief executive, Tim Cook, spoke of how sensors were "set to explode", were left wondering what could be in store for the product.
Sources familiar with Apple's plans said the company was planning to unveil richer health features and additional sensors in later versions.
The Apple Watch unveiled on Tuesday was designed for use with the iPhone.
Independently of a mobile device, the watch can track activity using an accelerometer to measure movement as well as heart rate.
Runners can also listen to music through a Bluetooth headphone. Many wristbands already on the market can do all of that, and more.
