Apple recently sent out email invitations that said "spring forward" to a media event at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on March 9, wherein the Cupertino-based tech titan is likely to offer specific details regarding the Apple Watch, especially when the much anticipated wearable device will be available in stores.

So far Apple only provided vague information regarding the precise date when the Apple Watch will be actually available to consumers. All that it confirmed till now is that the sale of the device will begin sometime in April. The company unveiled the Apple Watch, which is the first new product category during Tim Cook's tenure as CEO, alongside the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus at an event in September 2014.

Apart from revealing a few details of the smartwatch at the event, the company has remained silent about the specifications of the Apple Watch, especially its battery life and pricing options.

Since then there have been various rumors that claimed that the Apple Watch battery will last for 19 hours with a mix of active as well as passive uses. While Apple has claimed that the smartwatch will have a starting price of $349, a number of estimates claim that the 18-karat gold Watch Edition model will cost more than $5,000.

The March event will takes place in the wake of a record-breaking holiday quarter for Apple, wherein it earned $18 billion in profit on $74.6 billion revenue. The major part of the revenue as well as profits was actually possible due to the brisk sales of the company's latest iPhones, which sold a whopping 74.5 million units.

There is speculation that in addition to the Apple Watch, the company may possibly have some other products lined up for the March 9 event, counting a spruced up 12-inch Macbook Air in addition to redesigned 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models.

The March 9 event of Apple will commence at 10 a.m. PDT/1 p.m. EDT. In addition, Apple will offer a live stream the event from its website, and interested people can watch it through a Safari browser or an Apple TV.
