Apple Watch To Go On Sale In March

Apple which has plans to release its first wearable device, Apple Watch, early this year, could launch the watch in March. According to a new report from 9to5Mac, Apple is likely to make its Apple Watch available in stores by the end of March.

If the report is to be believed, Apple has plans to conduct an extensive testing program to make Apple Retail Store employees familiar with the new product category. "One or two representatives from many Apple Stores in the United States, depending on store and market size, will be sent to Apple offices in either Cupertino, California or Austin, Texas to learn first-hand about the Watch. These training programs will take place between February 9th and February 16th," says the report.

Priced at $349, Apple Watch is the first new product to be developed and introduced under Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook's reign, the next chapter in Apple's history. The device tethers to the iPhone that will combine health and fitness tracking with communications.

It will come in two sizes, so the watch won't feel giant on smaller hands, as some competing watches do.

Its home screen has all your apps, arranged in rows like a honeycomb. The touch screen lets you slide the honeycomb around to see different portions of your app collection. Apple's new mobile payment service Pay also works on the Apple Watch.

Much of the interaction would be through the dial on the watch, which Apple calls the digital crown. You use the dial to zoom in and choose one.

The Apple Watch isn't simply adopting the smartphone way of doing things. The operating system, Watch OS, has been designed specifically for the watch.
