Apple Said To Be Working On a 'Watch-Like Device'
The WSJ reports that Apple is "experimenting with designs for a watch-like device that would perform some functions of a smartphone, according to people briefed on the effort." An excerpt: The company has discussed such a device with its major manufacturing partner Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., one of these people said, as part of explorations of potentially large product categories beyond the smartphone and tablet. Apple's efforts come as companies have introduced various kinds of wearable gadgets, mainly designed to measure physical activity. More sophisticated devices face big technical challenges, but also are attracting investments from large technology companies. Foxconn, as Hon Hai is also known, has been working on a spate of technologies that could be used in wearable devices, one of these people said. In particular, the Taiwan-based company has been working to address the challenges of making displays more power-efficient and working with chip manufacturers to strip down their products."

Apple won't be able to blame any malfunctions on "holding it wrong."
With only one button on it. The button says "PAY".
Apple was so good with daylight saving and news years alarms calculation that a apple watch is certainly a good idea.
because this may be the next big thing Samsung copies.
...because???
Samsung will soon come out with one and you will need to tell the Fanboys why Apple is behind in the important Smart Watch market.
Of course news about a fake are Fake News.
i can't wait for apple to invent the watch and sue those swiss copycats into oblivion.
