Apple unveiled an updated version of its smartwatch Monday, as it claimed the device had become the top-selling watch in the world ahead of rivals such as Rolex and Fossil. The Apple Watch Series 3 has its own mobile connectivity which allows the user to remain connected without a smartphone for phone calls, music and other functions. "The Apple Watch is now the number one watch in the world," Apple chief executive Tim Cook told the media event, the first at the company's "spaceship" campus in Cupertino. While Apple has not provided detailed sales figures for the watch, Cook said sales were up 50% in the past quarter from a year earlier. The watch with cellular connectivity will be available in nine countries September 22 starting at US$399 (RM1,680), Apple said.
