Finished Apple Watch Expected to be Showcased at"Spring Forward" Mar. 9 Event

From DailyTech: Apple, Inc. (AAPL) has sent out invites to exclusive media and developer partners for an event held on March 9. Like any Apple event, there's a great deal of hype and speculation about what product launches, demoes, or refreshes might be on the agenda.

The event is titled "Spring Forward", an homage to the Daylight Savings Time change that occurs in the month of March. The chronological reference, combined with Apple CEO Timothy Cook's assertion that the upcoming Apple Watch wearable would ship to customers in April 2015, strongly suggests that the event will cover the Apple Watch.

The Apple watch was first demoed at a highly anticipated event last September, but that was just a tease at Apple's general plan for the device and a pitch to bring developers onboard to create apps for the device. At the new event, Apple will likely fill in the blanks in terms of iOS companion features (to be included in the iOS 8.2 or possible 8.3 updates) and details of the watch's functionality. A finished device spec and the price points for various variants -- still unknown -- will also likely be revealed.
