Using an Apple Watch while driving could put you in prison for up to two years, motoring experts have warned.
When the gadget is released next year, it will allow users to make and receive calls, check their messages and monitor their health by operating the device on their wrists.
But people who use Apple Watch while on the road are at risk of causing fatal crashes and will face the same penalties as those caught on their mobile phones.
This is according to the London-based Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) who has warned that smartwatches will 'significantly' impair driving performance.
Existing research by the IAM on smartphone use between 2006 and 2010 found distraction from a mobile phone was a contributory factor in 1,960 road accidents, 110 of which were fatal.
As opposed to using a hands-free piece of equipment, the Apple Watch will require drivers to use two hands to operate the device.
The IAM claims this will impact speed, lane position and time spent looking at the road, contributing to more serious crashes.
