In a few hours, Apple’s “Spring Forward” event will begin and most of us are expecting to see the Cupertino tech giant talk extensively about the Apple Watch.

And as is customary before big Apple events, the Apple store is currently down and awaiting the arrival of the long expected Apple Watch.

The smartwatch was unveiled back in September, but then Apple wasn’t yet ready to make the product available to consumers. So the intelligent timepiece went back to the company’s development labs in order to be perfected.

Now, we expect Apple to talk about its Watch extensively and finally make it available for purchase. Unlike similar offerings from other companies, as the Samsung Gear S, Apple provides potential customers a lot more customization options.

The wearable comes in two sizes (42mm and 38mm) and boasts three different designs, including the aluminum-cased Apple Watch Sport, stainless-steel cased Apple Watch, and the 18-karat gold cased Apple Watch Edition.

If you’re already mulling over an Apple Watch, we hope you have some money saved up. The entry-level device (the aluminum and glass Apple Watch Sport with plastic bands) will go on sale for $349 / €321 and up.

As for the 18-karat gold Apple Watch Edition, it will have an exorbitant price tag, believed to be revolving around $5,000 / €4,606.

Stay tuned to get the latest scoop on the Apple Watch by means of our event live blog.
