On March 9, Apple is expected to unleash its smartwatch called the Apple Watch. Speculations are rife that the Cupertino based tech firm will release the wearable in this month.

Apple had showcased the Apple Watch last year in September, but it was not released. On Feb 6, the International Business Times had reported that the C.E.O of Apple, Time Cook is aiming to begin the shipments of Apple Watch in April. However, at that time, he refrained from speaking on the Apple Watch release date.

The Independent.co.uk states that the previous release patterns of Apple suggest that the Apple Watch would be made available in the market within this month. It states that Apple will announce the wearable on the coming Monday and from that day it will start taking orders for the device and then finally release it after a week or two.

It further adds that this time around Apple will not want to make its audience wait for the Apple Watch release date since it has already revealed it last year. If the company is not ready with the product, it would not have announced the Apple Watch event in the previous week, say the Independent.co.uk.

The Apple Watch will be available in three variants namely, the Apple Watch, the Apple Watch Sport and the Apple Watch Edition. It will be available in two sizes, 1.5-inch and 1.7-inch. Each watch variant will be available in two colours and up to six wristband variants such as a metal band, a rubber sport band, a leather band and so on.

Speculations have it that the wearable will be built with water-resistant construction. It is also expected to come with couple of health sensors. Constantly accessing the sensors can drain the battery easily. A new report published by Business Insider claims that the company is not allowing developers to use those apps that that can impact the battery of the device.
