Apple Is Holding a Major Apple Watch Event on March 9th

(Via Apple).

Apple will hold a major press event on March 9, the company announced on Thursday morning, presumably to give more details about the release of its much-anticipated Apple Watch. The event will be held in at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco at 10 a.m.; you can see the invitation for the event below.

Apple may also use this event as a chance to premiere a new music-streaming service — bolstered by its $3 billion purchase of Beats last year — that it’s reportedly working on.

Apple officially unveiled the Apple Watch at a September event last year, alongside its iPhone 6 models. The watch comes in two sizes, and three different categories, including the base-level Apple Watch, the fitness-focused Apple Watch Sport, and the luxe Apple Edition watch. They’ll all be coated with durable sapphire crystal, but the casing around the screen and the straps will differ depending on which version you buy.

The standard Apple Watch will start at $349, though it’s unclear what version that price will be applied to. The standard Apple Watch will be made with stainless steel, the Sport will come in a light, iodized aluminum case, and the Apple Edition will be crafted from 18-karat gold or rose gold. Lots of people (including us) have thrown around guesses about how much that final one will set you back. The most recent credible guesstimate clocked in at around $10,000.

It’s also important to note that the Apple Watch will need to be paired with an iPhone for the majority of its data-related functions. However, most of its fitness-tracking features work while it’s flying solo.

There are still a few mysteries surrounding the Watch, including details surrounding battery life, its fitness-tracking capabilities, as well as the price of its higher-end versions. We also still don’t have a definite release date, though Apple CEO Tim Cook recently said to expect the watches to start shipping to customers this April.
